Parentage is still being researched, from Sandy Fisher via email 12 Apr 2018:
"No link between the New England Sumner family & the VA/NC Sumner family until much later"
...
"There were at least 3 men named Hezekiah Sumner in New England in that era. I assume they were probably related to each other.
But I have found no connection to ‘my’ Hezekiah and the Yankees.
I believe my Hez was a descendant of the original British/Va immigrant - John ‘of Bridewell’ Sumner.
Just have not yet found the missing link."
