SOURCE: Ellen Summers Marmor [ emarmor99@aol.com ] - There is noquestion
about the names of his children the will is easy to read. AlthoughJohn
Summers raised the children there father deserves to be remembered.You
will notice on Chalkley's the mis spelling of names. On the will
Isabella's name is spelled two different ways. Possibly written oneway
on the first spelling and corrected with the second spelling. Therewere
many people lost due to the fighting with the Indians and Patrick was
also a soldier (for lack of a better word)
Dave Rayburn has a map showing the area John Summers and Isabellalived.
I was in the area last Mothers day (2000). They were in the area of
Natural Bridge, this part of the country has narrow valleys and would
have been very, very hard work. That is probably part of the reasonJohn
and Isabella married so quickly after Patricks death. Our theory isJohn
and Isabella were part of the Boone expeditions into
Kentucky.
