Following is a North Carolina twist on George SUMPTER & Elizabeth GROSS. The data contained herein has more plausible and realistic birth and marriage dates for George SUMPTER & Elizabeth GROSS than the birthdates of 1713/1714 for George and Elizabeth Gross Sumpter being proposed by other researchers. Then again, we could be dealing with two separate couples named, George and Elizabeth Gross SUMPTER. Perhaps, George SUMPTER (married to Elizabeth GROSS) is not the same George and Elizabeth SUMPTER associated with Henry SUMPTER in Henry Co., VA. Hopefully, if we can find signatures on deeds and other court records in NC and VA, we may be able to determine if we are dealing with separate individuals, named George. Could George SUMPTER (married about 1760-65 to Elizabeth GROSS in North Carolina) be the 19 year old indentured George from St. Brides, Fleet St., London, England who married later in life? If not and he can be document as being in NC 1760-65, how does he tie into either of the families of Richard of Henrico or William of Hanover-Louisa?
