Hi Sharon and Jim In response to your response about Nettie Sumpter. My records show that Bernette (Nettie) Sumpter was born about 1874 in KY. In fact, Sharon, my file says you gave me the data. Did I send you the following: H. L. Sumpter born 1842 KY could be Henry, son of Jordan and Polly Overstreet Sumpter of Wayne Co, KY. The 1850 census of Wayne Co, KY, lists an 8 year old Henry T. as a son of Jordan and Mary Sumpter. I believe the name Overstreet is what led me to think H. L. (or T.) is the son of Jordan. Jordan Sumpter was a son of Thomas and Elizabeth Coffey Sumpter who married in Burke Co, NC, and moved to Wayne Co, KY, about 1825 - 1828. Thomas was a son of John and Catherine (possibly Van Pelt) Sumpter and John was a brother of General Thomas Sumter. Jordan married Mary Polly Overstreet 4 April 1834 in Wayne Co, KY. James Coffey was surety for the marriage and D. Duncan was the minister. The list of children and their birthdates are taken from the 1850 and 1860 census. Charlotte b 1835, John L (or P) b 1840, Henry T (or L) b 1842, Elizabeth b 1844, Sophronia b 1848 and Francis M b 1852. My data comes from several sources: Harold Sumpter's book; Harold lives in Turney, MO, and also descends from John and Catherine Sumpter. Jacqueline Sexton's book, Coffeys of Wayne Co; Wayne Co, KY, Vital Records, Vol 2,1973. I shall repeat this since I believe you sent it: H. L. and the children are listed on the 1880 Soundex Census of Wayne Co, MO with the youngest child being listed as born in 1878 in KY. Conclusion, the family moved to Missouri after that child's birth but before 1880. I wonder if the mother died in childbirth. Jordan's birth date is given as @1813 and he died 1 Dec 1852 in Wayne Co, KY. He was listed as a farmer. I hope this helps with your searching. Jane Sumpter Malone-George
