NOTES and COMMENTS by E.D. Rayburn:
Note 1: Samuel and Nancy (Middleton) Summers were apparently livingin same house-
Hold with another family who had small children. Probably family ofson or son-in-law
living in the house. There are two males age 20-30, one of whichappears to be married
to the age 20-30 female. The other 20-30 male is believed tobe Thomas Matthew
Summers who did not marry until 1845. Also, census taker showsSamuel's age as 70-80.
Records indicate that Samuel would have been 69 and possibly somemonths when the
1840 census was taken.
Note 2: Listed, as living in the house next door to Samuel Summers wasMrs. Middleton
Age 20-30. This Middleton has been identified by Patty Woodall asMargaret Jane Taylor
Middleton, widow of Thomas Middleton son of Greenberry Middleton. Shehas 4 child-
