This is a little tricky because you don't give dates. "I found a Jane Summers in Macomb County, MI, maiden name unknown." Which year? Jacob Summers and his wife Jane nee Davidson are in the Shelby, Macomb Co. census from 1850 through 1880. She was born in NJ about 1815. Jane nee Gardner, widow of Johannes Summers, was in the Shelby, Macomb Co. census for 1850 and 1860. She was born in NJ on 10 Feb. 1781. The head of the Summers family, John Summers, came from Germany in 1752, accompanied by his five sons, of whom the names Jacob and John are remembered; the former was a Judge of Records in Philadelphia. where he settled; the latter settled in Warren County, N. J., where he was Circuit Judge for over twenty years. According to Straw Church records: "1785, Aug. 8. John George Summer, born in Freystadt in Elsas, April 23, 1721. He was a member of this congregation forty-two years* and had eleven children, and blind for eight years, age 64 years, 3 months and fifteen days. " Known children are Johan Georg, Johannes, Catherine (wife of Thomas Hayes), Eva (wife of Richard Knowles), Maria Magdalena (wife of Ernst Menge), Catherine (wife of Andrew Banghart), and Barbara (wife of Peter Fite). This leave four children unidentified. This also says that he immigrated about 1743. From what I've read of the Philadelphia family, they either stayed in PA or went to VA. I've seen no proof that they are connected to the Sussex/Warren Co., NJ or Macomb/Oakland Co., MI families. Jacob Summers, father of the subject of this sketch, was the youngest son of five born to Judge Jacob Summers and his wife, Mary Hiles; he settled in Shelby Township in 1831 This is not true because Mary Hiles was David's mother. She and Jacob were married 10 Mar. 1811 in Sussex Co., NJ and divorced sometime in the 1840s. Jacob then married Charlotte Bronson.
