The poster, Jeremy L Beller <jbeller1@juno.com>, of this message does not appear to be neither a legitimate SUMTER/SUMPTER descendant nor researcher. I suspect that this individual is an agent to sell books for the referenced website. BEWARE! I don't know anything about the reputation of these folks selling books. However, most of these books are available in either genealogy or public libraries.
