Edward D. Sumpter was born Apr 1799 VA. He married Mariah Flury in Wrightsville, PA, 1834. By 1840, the family was living in Vernon, Jennings Co, IN, where they remained and can be traced through the 1860 Federal Census. Mariah died in 1859. Edward is listed with children Scott age 11, Mary Ellen age 8 and Jacob age 6 on the 1860 census. No further data about Edward D. Sumpter. Scott b 1849 d 1916 Boone Co, IN, married Mary Isabel Hurt in 1873. They had four sons: Larkin Bunnell b 1877,(my grandfather), William Taylor b 1880, Harry Finis b 1882 and Clay b 1889. Mariah Louisa Sumpter, daughter of Edward D. and Mariah Flury Sumpter, was born 1842. In 1862, she married William Starr in Warren Co, Ohio. No further information. on Mariah Louisa or on Mary. Jacob D. Sumpter, son of Edward D. and Mariah Flury Sumpter, moved to Oklahoma where he married Nancy Gibson in 1879. They had the following children: John b 1881, Amanda Isabella b 1886, Jim Andy b 1889, Scott Taylor b 1892 and Dixon D. b 1895. When Scott b 1849 passed away in 1916, his obituary listed Jacob living in 'lower California' and a sister, Lillie McCracken, living in Austin, Texas. I would appreciate any and all help with this family. Who were Edward D. Sumpter's parents and sibblings? Which daughter became Lillie McCracken - Mariah Louisa or Mary? Thanks.
