Jim Landrum submitted an interesting theory on 5 May concerning the possibility that George Sumpter, the 1721 immigrant, might be the father of Henry Sumpter who married Agnes Dillon. As Jim wrote, Alexander Sumpter, Jr., in his notebook said his gggrandfather was George, an Englishman, who came to America with his brothers. Yes, I believe it is very possible that George the immigrant was the father of Henry (Agnes Dillon) and husband of ElizabethGross. A George Sumpter of Montgomery Co, VA, left a will dated 31 Sep 1800. His wife was Elizabeth and his sons were Richard b 1767, Edmund b 1770 and George, Jr., b 1780. George, Sr., died 1806. Records indicate that this George Sumpter of Montgomery Co is the George who married Elizabeth Gross. If George and immigrant and George of Montgomery Co are the same man, then the Claiborne Co, TN 1800 family and the Floyd Co, VA, family descend from the same man. However, I do not believe that Elizabeth Gross could be the mother of Henry (Agnes Dillon) born about 1740 and also of George, Jr., born 1780. Thanks for whatever help and ideas the rootsweb subscribers have. Jane Sumpter Malone-George
