John & Emma Summy, b.1864/5, lived Kosciusko Co., IN

margerice1 — 2006-07-16 04:33:35Z

I have an original Cabinet Card photograph of “John & Emma Summy – Mod’s parents”, which I would like to get back to family members. Photo was taken in about early 1900, in Warsaw (Kosciusko Co.) IN, and each of them looks to be mid 30s-40. I have no clue as to who “Mod” might be.

I found John in the 1900 and 1910 censuses for Kosciusko Co. In 1900, John was 35 with DOB Nov 1864; Emma was 34, with DOB Sep 1865; and they had sons Ervin and Mearl (1887 & 1889) – and I found them later in other censuses as Irvin and Merle. John and Emma had been married 14 years. By 1910 census, John was age 45, in his second marriage for 6 yrs. to Rhoda, age 39, and they had no children.

Email me at margerice@prodigy.net if you are related to John and Emma Summy.

SUMNEY Jacob b: ca 1800 PA m: Margaret Jane LEISURE

bhillmer — 2004-05-01 19:37:25Z

I am looking for any information on Margret Jane or Jane Margaret LEISURE b: ca 1800 in PA. She married a Jacob SUMNEY or SUMMY and had one daughter, Jane M. about 1828 in PA.

While living in Butler Co., PA the daughter married a Samuel MOHLER 1849/1850 and they appear on the 1850 PA Butler Co., Butler Boro census with his mother-in-law, Jane SUMMONEY age 50 (I think) living with them. It is my understanding that the father-in-law died in 1844 and I am working on getting the estate records.

Any information on who Margaret Jane LEISURE's parents are would be greatly appreciated. In looking at the census for 1790-1840, it appears that they may have come from Westmoreland Co., probably around Mt. Pleasant area .. but, I am only guessing.

Any information or clues would be appreciated.
