Jim Young asked me about the info from Jerry Daniel. Frankly I like his explanation. William probably married in Virginia to an unknown Elizabeth. Put with the info of Matilda Adams it is to me only explanation. The next question is where are the entire Hugenot Records. My only info there comes from the Brock book. To me there is also confusion concerning the George Sumpter married to Elizabeth Gross. How old is this guy? He has sons George, Edmond, and Richard. I believe he is tied to Richard Sumpter that was with the Hugenots because of the son Richard's name. The first Richard Sumpter has sons Christopher, tied to Richard in a tax record in June 1756, and most probably John who was in Chesterfield County at the same time as Richard. Then there is our Henry Sr. After they arrive in Henry County about 1775 there are deeds involving a George (too old to be Henry Sr.'s son) Also witnesses on these deeds are George and Elizabeth Sumpter, Admond (Edmond) Sumpter, and Henry and Aggy (Agnes Dillon) Sumpter. All these people tied together. Is George Henry's brother .... or father, uncle , cousin? There aren't too many of these guys (Sumpters), just all in the same area. Even the General's family is just a county north and at the same time and Henry Sr. first shows up in Cumberland County circa 1765 and Cumberland is out of Chesterfield. Help. Jim, can you computer deal Lotus. I would like to send you all I have that I put together. Jim Landrum Jpiccafe@aol.com Not to mention the George that arrives in 1721. My line from then til the present is full of George's and Henry's.
