    HISTORY OF THE SUMPTERS

    (From materials received from John Alexander Sumpter, 1952/1932, in the form of notes in long hand by Lois Sumpter)


    "The first Sumpters that came to North America were three brothers sent for back in England to do some fine mechanical work for the colonies or English Government. They were Father's Great Great Uncles (brothers of George Sumpter (1)). They fought in the Revolutionary War. One was quite a commandeer in that war. Our grandfather (George Washington Sumpter) was in Washington's Army. Father (Alexander Sumpter) was carried there in his mother's arms to see his Grandfather or our Great Great Grandfather (Henry Sumpter)**

    Alexander Sumpter, Sr went to the Black Hawk Indian War in 1832 and was one of a chosen party of 22 to cross the Mississippi River and follow a small band of Indians that succeeded in crossing. He was in the last battle fought in the war.

    He was in St. Louis when there were but a few houses in it and no good ones mostly Dobies and rock huts.

    His Uncle John Sumpter served 3 terms in Washington's Army in the Revolutionary War. Uncle John Sumpter's son Buckhanan Sumpter was also Captain of a cannon in the Revolutionary War under Washington. Captain Buck Sumpter disobeyed orders and won a battle. He was ordered to spike his cannon, but his judgment told him victory was near and he continued firing and when the smoke cleared away the enemy was running, but not until the Americans had burned some of their property.

    Our Great Grand Father was Henry Sumpter and his wife was Agness Dillon. They came from Virginia. They were tailors. They were "First Families of Virginia".

    Our grand Father, George Washington Sumpter and his wife, Nancy Powers, came from East Tennessee.

    John Sumpter married and lived in Souther Illinois. His children were: Ben Sumpter, Buck Sumpter, John Sumpter, Danial Sumpter. Uncle John became a very wealthy man.

    He (John Sumpter) served three terms in Revolutionary War.
    His son Buck Sumpter was commanding officer in that war.
    Danial Sumpter was with his father in the BlackHawk war.
    Polly sumptere married Robert Chopin
    Sally Sumpter married Absalem Adams
    Their son Jessie Adams lived at Marion Station, Marion County, Oregon

    Our Uncles and Aunts

    Father's (Alexander, Jr) Half-brothers:
    John sumpter
    Henry Sumpter
    Abraham Sumpter

    John Sumpter married twice.
    His first wife was Nancy Caldwell


    **Think this is misinterpretation of notes. George was born in 1776, so more likely that Henry was in Washington's Army, and George was carried there as a baby, not George's son.

    "First Families of Virginia" states that Henry was a tailor and well-to-do, with fine property.



    Henry married DILLON Agnes in ABT. 1764 in Probably Henry Co, VA. Agnes was born in ABT. 1748. [Group Sheet]
