  2. David's birth is also recorded in the Hebron, Connecticut Colony, town records. Hebron VR, page 133. It appears, since the Claremont record declared that place was the actual birthplace, that the Hebron record was likely for the benefit of friends and relatives, as the Sumner family had recently settled in Claremont at its beginnings.

  • The original profile gave David's birth and death both in 1774, age 5 months. The source is unknown, unless it is the source "Together in History" above mentioned, which could not be accessed for review. However, there is sufficient evidence - town records verifying both birth and death dates, and the gravestone at his gravesite for additional confirmation that the revised dates and locations in this edited profile are correct. 28 April 2020.
