EVERYONE.... please read the this and the immediate paragraph below. Please join me in making this list active. Consider posting information on your ancestors to include obits, census data, marriage records, bible records, etc. Please use a subject appropriate for your ancestors. If your ancestor is not connected to Erbin SUMPTER, please use a different subject instead of clicking the reply button. I have changed the configuration of the SUMPTER list to send all "Reply" responses back to the list. Therefore, for subscribers in the SUMPTER-L mode (receives single SUMPTER messages) click on the "Reply" button to maintain the thread for a particular discussion and delete all extraneous text of the message except which is required for quoting purposes; and, for subscribers in the SUMPTER-D mode (receives a digest of SUMPTER messages) click on the "Reply" button, change the subject to, example in this case, "Re: [SUMPTER] Erbin SUMPTER, 1819 IN" (without the quotes) and delete all extraneous text not required for quoting purposes. In the interest of generating activity on this list, I'm posting information which I've collected on Erbin SUMPTER and Eliza HARGIS and their descendants for three generations. Because of privacy issues, I've omitted Fourth Generation descendants because many of them are still surviving. Some Third Generations descendants are still surviving and I've attempted to delete their personal data. The primary contributors of this information are descendants, (in no particular order) Barbara Jones (online), Judy Grimes (online) and Anna Lee Jones (snail mail). Although this is not my line, I have considerable notes which I'm willing to share. If anyone can add to this family tree, please pitch-in and help fill-out the branches. Also, if there are any errors, please please click on the "Reply" button and provide the correct data along with any transcribed or abstracted documentation. BEFORE SENDING YOUR MESSAGE, please check to see if the response is being sent to: SUMPTER-L@rootsweb.com If not, change the "To:" address to reflect it.
