I know that Isom Sumpter was in Owen Co Clay township IN in the 1930 Federal Census. He is listed with 1 male 30-40 2 males 5-10, 3 males 0-5, 1 female 30-40, 2 females 0-5. (this seems improbable; too many infants for one woman to birth) I also know that his wife was Susanna Loving, who may have been married before. Suzanne ==== SUMPTER Mailing List ==== REMINDER ! ! !
