Does anyone know where this family came from? I told her that the Wiggins family came out of NJ and I doubt they moved by themselves but am not aware of other families. Martha Dear Martha, Last Wednesday in the New York Public Library, I came across a strange thing. Because the New Jersey censuses of 1790, 1800, 1810 and (I think) 1820 are missing, people have done the NJ tax lists. In Stryker-Rodda's book, I found Summerlin and Summerall and Summerell in NJ, two Craven County names. On Thomas Phillips's 1743 will, the witness's name is Henry Summerell or Summerall, as clear as day on the actual document, although other documents about this neighbor of Thomas Phillips has him as "Summerlin." Do you know who Henry Summerlin/Summerall is? And have you ever heard of anyone from New Jersey settling in Craven Co.? Of course, hundreds of NJ families settled in the Shenandoah Valley, but that's a different area, and a different culture. PS. Thanks to your friend Ed Young, I am going to Nashville to lecture. More later, for now, much love, Mary Jane
