Everitt SUMMONS arrived in NSW via the ship Brothers. The 1828 Census of NSW lists a SUMMONS family group of six:

*Everett - 35 yrs, came free Brothers in 1825, protestant, servant, working for Australian Agricultural Company at Port Stephens
*Caroline - 18 yrs, born in the colony, protestant
*John - 28 yrs, came free Brothers in 1825, protestant, servant, working for Australian Agricultural Company at Port Stephens
*Elizabeth - 20 yrs, came free Brothers in 1825, protestant
*E.R. - 18 mths, born in the colony, protestant
*infant - 1 mth, born in the colony, protestant

Birth, death and marriage records show this to be two families. Everitt had married Caroline (or Catherine) GREEN in Sydney on 28 Oct 1828, and they had five children:

Eliza b. 7 Jan 1829, bap. 14 Apr 1829 Newcastle
Everitt b. 17 May 1830, bap. 25 Jul 1830 Newcastle
John Australia b. 9 Sep 1831, bap. 30 Oct 1831 Newcastle
Edward b. Nov 1832, bap. Dec 1832 Stroud
Sarah Ann b. 22 Dec 1835, bap. 13 Apr 1836 Stroud

No death record has been found for Caroline, although it seems likely that she died in the late 1830s. Everitt died in Newcastle on 28 Jan 1870, and was buried at Christ Church CE Newcastle the following day. His death certificate records his parents' names as Everitt SUMMONS and Mary Ann LITTLEWOOD, his age as 77 years, and his place of birth as Bentley, Essex, England.

John and Elizabeth were married before arrival, and had two children recorded in the NSW records:

William bap. 1828 Newcastle
James bap. 1833 Sydney

John died in 1834 in Sydney, and Elizabeth remarried to Nicodemus DUNN the same year. It is not known whether John and Everitt were brothers, although this seems likely.

Anyone else out there interested in these families?
best wishes
Lindsay
