Hi Paulette, I know that you were waiting to hear from me and I must explain that if I get 100 lookup requests that ask a specific question and/or mention a specific book I will always do those before I do one that requires me to first "find" a person and then find the information. Those require a lot of reading, making notes, etc. I wish I had good news for you. >From # 624 Paraphrased: There was a Samuel Sumner in Buncombe County in 1820. also in Buncombe were a William and a Richard Sumner. There were no other Samuel Sumners shown. >From # 783 There was a Richard Sumner with a son Samuel but Samuel died and left will in Buncombe County abt. 1824. The information does not name Samuel's wife but mentions that Samuel was born abt 1794 had "at least 7 children": Jesse, Cynthia, Nancy, Margaret, Joel, Richard, Naomi. Could this be your Samuel? I found the Rootsweb/Ancestry records on your Samuel so this is obviously not the one you are searching for. There are no Sumners listed in Passports. Dee All lookup requests will be permanently archived on the Bladen County Genweb site.

I'm not totally sure about my Sumners being Quakers in NC - I think they were at some point, as well as the Clarks, but I don't know for certain; I think they were not Quakers by the time they moved on to Kentucky and then Indiana and then Missouri, and after that to Oregon. A Haines/Moore family that the Sumners married into were Friends until they were "disowned" in Tennessee. -----Original Message----- >From: Dee Thompson <d7777@worldnet.att.net> >Sent: May 4, 2007 9:26 PM >To: 'Paulette' <pswitzertatum@peoplepc.com> >Subject: RE: NC Marriage lookup please > >Hi Paulette, >No, you did not misunderstand.
