Fanus Alias Sumners in Dunklin Co., Missouri

SuzieNash34 — 2009-10-17 00:22:30Z

I'm searching for Fanus Alias Sumners who married Wilma Booth in Cardwell, Dunklin Co., Missouri on 12 Sep 1936. I don't have any dates for him but was told he died at age 55. He is supposed to have had a brother, Julius, but that has not been confirmed. Wilma Booth Sumners is alleged to have died following the birth of her third child and yet in her son Bill's 2009 obit, there were four children listed as being children of Alias and Wilma so there's a question there with no answer. I understand that after Wilma's death her husband did not mention her name again and did not keep in touch with any of her family which, to me, only adds to the mystery. Wilma may have had brothers Carl (married Mildred Watkins in Cardwell), Floyd Ray (married Norma Marie Eldridge in Cardwell), and Harvey (married Alma Grissom in Cardwell).

Any information is greatly appreciated.

Hello Terry,

That's fascinating news about your connection with Elijah Summers, and my hats are off to Ancestry.com for putting us in touch with each other.

I haven't done any genealogy research for years and years. However, I have recently moved back to Arlington Virginia, where, according to one piece of information I got from ancestry.com, Elijah's family cemetery MAY be preserved as a Fairfax County park. If you would like to send me your e-mail address, I'll forward some photos from that cemetery. The dates make the theory possible that Elijah came from Virginia, but I haven't seen any proof. My e-mail address is: summercamp81@yahoo.com

Best wishes from

Your cousin David

I hope you still subscribe to this board.
Elijah Summers and Philadelphia West are my 5th great grandparents. My line is via their daughter Susannah and Nicholas Cheek. Elijah married Nicholas and Susannah in Green County, Kentucky on Monday, May 20, 1805.
Do you have any ancestral information for Elijah and Philadelphia?
Thank you,

Re: Martha, Thomas, John Ellis Sumners

lcmcelroy — 2006-07-24 04:08:31Z

I misread my notes. John Ellis Sumners was the son of William Sumners, who had a brother named Thomas.

Re: Martha, Thomas, John Ellis Sumners

lcmcelroy — 2006-07-24 04:03:38Z

John Ellis Sumners is my ggggg-grandfather. He served as Probate Judge of Bibb County, Alabama, for six years. He was born in approximately 1797 in South Carolina. He married Nancy Langston (b. 1802) about 1815-16 in Alabama. He was also a Baptist minister. John and Nancy had 16 known children. Eight of their sons died during the Civil War.Their son, Thomas, was born in 1816. They had a daughter, Martha (b. 1820), who married Alexander E. Hinson. It is also thought that John Ellis Sumners' father was a Thomas Sumners, too. I am a descendant of his son, Isaac Newton Sumners (b. 1825).

They both died on their property, John in 1845 and Abraham in 1838. I would love to be able to trace the ownership of that land. On Abraham's property there still exists the old family cemetery. It was last sold about 5 years ago. Some of the property went to the Rodens who still farm it. You may contact me at martekelog at earthlink.net.

This is my first day of Summers geneology -- I have a booklet left to my father, Hollis Summers, which includes information about Elijah Summers (There are two pages of it, so if you'd like me to mail the info to you, please let me know):

The first record of his name is a petition in 1788 to establish a court at Lexington, Kentucky,

Then information that he orginzed Bethel Church In Montgomery County (1795), Mt. Gilead Church in Green County (1802), Drenn0on's Church in Henry County (1812), Rockbridge Church in Washington County (1815), Bethlehem Church in Spencer County (1818), and that he died in Clark County, IN at age 84.

He got around!

I am his descendent through his son Martin, his son Elliott, his son Hollis, and his son Hollis.

He also had the following children with his wife Philadelphia: Moses, Elijah, Charles, Cheek Nicholas, John, Shelby, Patsy, Elizabeth, Philadelphia, Walter, and Jane

Sincerely,

My great-grandmothers maiden name was ANN SUMNER.
She married JOHN COTTAM (1845-1908) a widower with 2 children sometime between 1882 & 1885.
His children's names were Elizabeth A.(1880-1936) & Benjamin L.(1872-1922) Cottam.
His first wife's name was Alice. (I don't know her maiden name)
ANN & JOHN had 2 children Mary Jane (1885-1977)my grandmother & Ada (1887-1963)
I have conflicting dates of her birth, but she die between Oct.1/1898 & Sept.30/1899 @ either 39
or 49 years of age, when my grandmother Mary Jane was 13 years old.
Does anyone have information about my Sumner or Cottam Ancestors?

Looking for info on Thomas Sumners, b. 13 Jan 1812 in AL or TN, d. 20 Mar 1884 in Clay Co. AL. He married (1) Wineford R. or possibly Winnie Adams, 16 Jun 1833. He married (2) Mary Ann Hooker.

Children of the first marriage were John, Wineford Polk, Clinton Bradshaw (m. Julia Ann Quattlebaum), Lucinda Ann, Clender Margret, Levina Alisabeth, Minerva Caroline (my great grandmother), and William Thomas.

Children of the second marriage were Samuel Hooker, Mariah Green, Milton McGuire, and James Madison.

This is only what I have read online. The only facts I know for certain are the name of my great grandmother and the dates of her birth and death, plus the fact that she grew up and married my great grandfather Francis Alexander Fields.

Anyone out there connected to this family?
