Hello Warren County researchers, It is Marilyn in CA and I am still searching for descendants of Lemar Summers and Jane VanKirk, I found a Jane Summers in Macomb County, MI, maiden name unknown. VanKirk's went to MI, and in the MI County Histories I found this Summers family history from Warren County, N.J. which is quite detailed, but no "Lemar" unless he was using another name. John and Jacob Summers could be brothers to Lemar? Has anyone any record of a marriage of Jane VanKirk to Lemar Summers/Sammers or any other male Summers/Sammers? She is the daughter of Mary (Jones) and James VanKirk and she is mentioned in her mother's Will of 1858. Thanks for any help.---Marilyn Title: History of Macomb County, Michigan : containing ... biographical sketches, portraits of prominent men and early settlers : the whole preceded by a history of Michigan ...
