Kimberly, Good to find someone else working on this family. I'm afraid I do not have any information on Dave (or David) Summerlin. Marriage record from the Jackson Co. marriages: MUSGROVE Emily married SUMMERLIN Dave 8 Feb 1894 Jackson Co., Florida Emily A. Henderson married Larkin Musgrove first, in 1890. The first census report after she is married is in 1900. At that time, Musgrove is out of the picture, and so is Summerlin. She is living with her parents, and she was called Emily A. Henderson (widow), with Edgar Summerlyn listed as a grandson in the household. He is age 2. So, by 1900, there have been two husbands, but only one child that I know about. Sometime after this, she married Oscar Barron Barton. I found Emily on the1910 and 1920 census, married to Oscar B. Barton, living in Calhoun Co. Edgar Summerlin was living with this family on both census reports, as a step-son. Then, in 1930 I found Emily Barton, age 60, living with Kinchen Musgrove in Calhoun Co. She is listed again as "widow." However, in the same county there is an Oscar B. Barton living with a wife quite a bit younger. With four more children. I am thinking this is the same man, and he remarried. I knew that Oscar and Emily were not buried in the same cemetery, and that might help explain why. However, I do not know this for certain. I have nothing on David Summerlin that I know for sure. I found a David Summerlin on the 1870 census, age 5, living with E. Summerlin (female), and siblings John, Luke, and Joseph. In 1885, I found a David Summerline in Jackson Co. Head of household is "E Summerline" but it said male (Jackson Co. site). And there is a 17-year-old daughter who was not listed in 1870, so I do not know if it might be the same David. I did go back and look in 1860, and I found Joseph Summerlin in Washington Co., FL., wife Elizabeth, and sons named John and Luke, so that is probably the same family I found in 1870. Whether or not this is David, who married Emily (Henderson) I do not know. Do you have any other ideas? I do not have any documentation regarding his death, where he is buried, etc. The Spanish-American War was suggested as a possibility. Would enjoy working with you on this.
