From my collection of notes. All comments added by me include a current year in paranthasis e.g 2005-2006. Welcome additions/ corrections with documentation. Here is a John Summers - his will probated Feb 1788 in Fairfax Co Va. He named wife Marey at death - Children: John, Simon, William, Mary Humphrey, Sarah Ferguson Comparing with other documents it seems to agree: Will book Fairfax Co, Va Summrs, John 28 Jan 1788 Feb 1788 Wife: Marey.

Owns land on waters in Ohio in per will 1788 (2005 -1000 acres in Kentucky County, N & S of Mill Creek, bordering the Ohio River per other poster) Wife Mary alive at his death in Feb 1788 (may be nee Sharp, Wickliff or Kinchelo) names 3 sons : John, Simon and William - alive after 1819 names 2 daughters: Mary married a Humphrey? and Sarah nee Summers Ferguson m James Sharp Ferguson Daughters to have land on water of the Ohio and who is William Ferguson relationship? August 2005 - This John Sommers d Feb 1788 appears to be s/o old John Summers aka John Summers Sr Agrees with data on following court record 1819?

Per another post, she was with child at his death of Joshua Ferguson 1770: 2006 Not sure of her Marys identity - consider Sharpe? Kincheloe? Wickliff? From a message posted another researcher - referencing same information as collected: Will of John Summers Will written 28 Jan 1788. Deed dated Nov 1740 was transferred to his children in 1785, for 10 00 acres of land in Kentucky County, N & S of Mill Creek, bordering the Ohio River. John's 3r d wife, Marey, was widow of Joshua Ferguson (will proved 7 Apr 1770), and the Mother of John' s children;s spouses- Elizabeth Ferguson and James Sharp Ferguson. Mary's maiden name unprov en. Marey Summers was on the tax rolls until 1796. 2006- comments - Possibly 1000 acres of land in Kentucky transferred to children per will 1788 was received for service in Revolution?. Still working on this. Who is the Humphrey daughter Mary Summers married? What a tangled web. Hope someone finds this useful. Anne (researching surname Pritchartt and relationships)

Just a comment on a secondary point. The land in Kentucky referred to as having been transferred in the 1788 will not necessarily have been for Revolutionary service. It is a possibility, but there was also a great deal of land in Kentucky (then part of Virginia) which was offered for sale by the new state of Virginia shortly after the Revolution. My own Fairfax ancestor, George Williams, bequeathed a few thousand acres of such land in Kentucky to his heirs in his 1794 will. Records of warrants for both purchased and bounty land are available from the Library of Virginia archives. Annerupert@aol.com wrote: >From my collection of notes.
