Hi Dan You asked about the ancestry of Hanna Sumpter b 7 May 1852, IN. She married Tom Bullard 17 Nov 1875, Decatur Co, IN. Hanna passed away 16 Nov 1939, St. Paul, IN. My data comes from Mrs. Lavon Rutherford notes, and marriage records Book 3, P341 of Decatur County, IN. My father and I visited with Mrs. Rutherford during the 1970s. Hanna was a daughter of James and Adeline McCord Sumpter. James b @1820 VA and died 13 Sept 1885 at St. Paul, IN. He married Adeline McCord. The family appears on the Decatur Co census for the years 1850, 1870 and the 1880 Soundex Census. My information also comes from Martha Schwartz and Lavon Rutherford. James and Adeline McCord Sumpter had the following children: William Richard 1847-1933 married Retta Watkins 1871 Missouri Anna 1849-? married Levi Lewistort 1868 Hanna 1852-1939 married Tom Bullard 1875 Elizabeth 1855-? married Levi Miller Georgann 1858-1948 married Abram Bruner 1880 James Albert (Bert) 1860-1950 Charles Smith 1863-1942 James Wessly 1868 he is not shown on the 1870 census and I wonder if he is a grandson. It is my belief that James is a son of John and Elizabeth Turman Sumpter. John was born 10 Feb 1796 VA and died 11 Aug 1856 probably after returning to VA. He married Elizabeth Turman 12 Nov 1818. She was born 1800 and died 17 May 1863 in Indiana. This information comes from Curtis Sumpter notes (of Floyd, VA), the 1840 and 1850 censuses of Indiana and from Martha Schwartz. John purchased land in Decatur Co in 1835 and 1836 and he is listed in Decatur Co, IN, probate records 1856-7. Known children of this couple are: James married Adline McCord Elizabeth 1824-? married F. Shuppert Isabel married C. Stogsdill John 1844-? Son 1820-1825 Lucy b @1819 married ? Ayers John was a son of Edmund, Sr., and Elizabeth Kingery Sumpter of Fayette, VA. Edmund b 25 Feb 1770, Charlotte Co, VA, d 10 Apr 1856. He married Elizabeth Kingery of Franklin Co,VA, 16 Mar 1795. This data comes from the Draper notes 18VV117, 1850 census of Fayette Co, VA, Franklin Co, VA marriage records and Curtis Sumpter's notes. When they married Jacob Kingery was the surety and Jacob Miller was the minister. Know children of this couple were: John 1796 married Elizabeth Turman Jacob b 1797 Martha b 1798 marriedDaniel Sowder 1823 Sarah b 1800 married George Turman 1818 Richard S. 1801-1882 married Catherine Sowder Edmund, Jr 1803-1883 married Delilah Eskew Fannie 1806-? married Elisha Burnett Draper states on 18VV115 that Edmund, Sr., served in War 1812. (I have not pursued this record but it should be in the National Archives). Edmund Sr. is a son of George, Sr. and Elizabeth Gross Sumpter of Charlotte Co, VA. Known children of this couple are: Richard b 1767-? married (1) Mary Kingery, (2) Isa Smith Sarah b @1772-? married John Jones Edmund b 1770-1856 married Elizabeth Kingery Agnes b 1775-? married Charles Greer George, Jr., b 1788-? married Catherine Prillaman Polly b @1790-? married Abraham Tice This information comes from Curtis Sumpter of Floyd, VA, descendant of this group. George, Sr. was killed in an accident in 1800 and his will is dated 31 Sept 1800. His wife Elizabeth appears on the 1806 VA tax list with George, Jr. Shortly after they were married, Richard and Mary Kingery Sumpter moved to Southern Ohio. Tom, I hope this fills in a few holes in your research. If you or anyone on the Sumpter web has corrections and additions to this information, please send it. I continue to update my card file on the Sumpter/Sumter family and want all information available. Tom, I would also like the names of Hanna and Tom's children. Thanks for all help.
