Connie - thanks for that info - it more or less sounds like what I was sent back in 1995 and just found those notes yesterday. I am deep into my WAUGHTEL genealogy and Jane Summa nee' Waughtell was a sister to my great great great grandfather James Waughtel - I have James down really "pat" <smile> and am working on Jane. There was another brother & sister whom I have never found names for, then later a brother Abraham who died on/or near the railroad tracks in Washington County. He was in Jackson County from time to time, but he never married so can say I have "all" on him. I started with Peter Sumey & Katherine Kerns/Carnes and have their children, and believe (at this moment at least) that John & George are brothers. I am working on both at this time. Ann, evidently was a Souders (Sowders) who 1st married a Rich, then married George. She is, according to what I have found this a.m. the 3rd wife of George, his 1st wife was Jerutia Dailey/Daley/Daily and his second wife a Mrs. Magaret Mavity. But of course I am "working" on this, no proof yet, but must get the pieces together, then send for the documents. I appreciate you writing as it makes me feel I'm on the right trail - Antoinette (Tacoma, Washington) On Mon, Oct 1, 2012 at 1:33 PM, Connie Shotts, CG <cshotts1@carolina.rr.com>wrote: > Antoinette- > I believe I found some additional information on Ann Rich Summa.
