Biography

There was a "Mr John Sumner" who was granted 67 acres in the upper parish of Nansemond County on 14 April 1670. And a "John Sumner" and John Stallenge were granted 1,000 acres in the upper parish of Nansemond at a place called Orapeake on 19 April 1683. This second John may have been the son of Francis Sumner and Ann Mansfield, as his uncle Thomas Swann also moved to Nansemond County.[1]

Research Notes

This profile was original connected to Elizabeth Thompson, but Elizabeth Thompson was married to "John Summers" who lived in Middlesex VA. Children previously attached are children of John Summers, recorded in his will and baptism records.

Online trees seem to have John Sumner married to Mary Bryant (1652-1712). Sources needed. Thomas-7679 04:24, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
