Hello to all. Two very diligent and qualified researchers of Virginia Sumpters have suggested a three or four day get together for discussion and sharing of documentation that we all have gathered. The theme of the meeting, suggested by Jim Young and Jane Malone George, is to be "Discovering our early Virginia Ancestors". (Pre 1820) If interested in discussion on any of the following families (and others as I am sure I am forgetting someone) please contact Jim Landrum at Jpiccafe@aol.com. The dates will be October 6, 7, 8, a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with possible carryover to Monday the 9th, of the year 2000. The site will be in Memphis, Tennessee. (Actually Cordova) William Sumpter & Elizabeth Richard Sumpter & Jean George Sumpter & Elizabeth (Gross??) Henry Sumpter & Agnes (Dillon??) Edmond Sumpter of Charlotte County Children of the above. After I get some idea of how many might attend I will finalize arrangements. Looking forward to hearing from some of you Jim Landrum P.S. If anybody knows others that are researching these Sumpters that are not on the Sumpter mailer or on line please let them know. I will post a message on a few other sites as well. Jim Another P.S. I am sure the discussions will not be limited to just these Virginia Sumpters as their children and grandchildren have managed to populate most other states as well. Jim
