In response to Jim Young's 7 March 1998 request for information and descendants of the sons of Jeptha Sumpter, Jesse, Abraham and Henry, the following family is found in the 1880 Douglas Co, MO, Soundex Census: Vol 11 ED 27 Sheet 17 Line 15 Sumpter, Jesse P White Male 35 Born MO Francis E Wife 27 MO William C Son 13 MO Henry A Son 11 MO Jessie A Daughter 7 MO Charles A Son 5 MO Ann E Daughter 3 Ark Edwin A Son 4/12 MO I am not positive this is Jesse, son of Jeptha since the 1880 age is not the same as the 1850 age. I cannot find anyMissouri Soundex reference to either of Jeptha's sons Abraham or Henry. Can anyone help with this family? Thanks. Jane Sumpter Malone-George jmgeorge@dubuque.net
