I’ve done a lot of research on the Summerell/Sumrell families, but I have not been able to determine the parents of Lemuel “Lamb” Summerell. In 1850 he and Melvina were in Pitt Co.: 1850 Pitt Co., NC, Burney's District, 8 Oct 1850, Family #819: Sumerell, Lemuel 23 Laborer Malvina (Witherington) 22 (Dau of Silas & Susan Smith Witherington) Columbus 6/12 Nearby there were Summerells who may have been Lemuel's siblings based on their ages and proximity: 1850 Pitt Co., NC, Burney's District, 8 Oct 1850, Family #826: Graves Sumerell 38 Laborer Buton 36 Laborer (Burton) Rebecca 34 Grizzy 27 Nona 24 Burton 8 James 6 Wm. 4 In 1840 Graves Summerelle was in Lenoir Co. with 1 m 20-30 and 1 f 20-30, so he was probably married and father of Burton age 8, James and William. I think his wife died prior to 1850 and Rebecca, Grizzy, and Nona were sisters of Graves and Burton, but I don't have any proof. I suspect these Summerell were from the Contentea Neck area of Lenoir Co., but I haven't found any evidence. Perhaps someone else has information on them Sammy Pierce Hobe Sound, FL
