What happened to him? Did he stay in Putnam Co or migrate elsewhere. If so, where?? Might he have been a brother of Thomas? I am trying to find the father of my Greenberry Summers. It is not the Greenberry Summers in Sullivan Co., but there is surely a connection. My Greenberry Summers named his oldest son, William Brice; and my father and I were told years ago that Greenberry's father's name was Brice. I am trying to find out what happened to the Brice Summers age 81 in this Ellis household, and what family he might fit into. Is this the father of my Greenberry and is Nancy possibly his sister??? Or she could be the mother of Josiah and the Ellis is a second marriage. It has been suggested to me that the Ellis, Summer, Gaither, Morgan, Storm all followed the same path, VA>NC>TN>KY>IL>MO Thanks for any help with this.
