520Notes for Thomas (Spouse 1)
This note from Randolph Co., WV History families pg 143-4.
2.Thomas Summerfield, Sr. and Joseph Summerfield were brothers. They both just "popped up" in Pendleton Co. region in the early 1770's. No one has yet found where they came from. Thomas was born about 1750. Joseph was b. bef. 1761; he was on the muster roll of Augusta Co., Va. Militia for 1779 and was over 18. There is evidence that Joseph was in the Battle of Point Pleasant in 1774; in this he had his right hand shot off. In the 1787 Census of Rockingham Co., Va. , Joseph was living next to his father in law John Nelson as indicated by Morton's Pendelton History.
Nearly all of the Summerfields of Randolph Co., are descendants of Joseph Summerfield. Joseph's first wife (unknown) must have died, and he supposedly married Winnie Nelson. During this time they were living in Pendleton Co. About 1800 Winnie began "fooling around" with John Lambert, Jr. and in 1801 Winnie had a son named Caleb and Joseph must have known that Caleb was not his son. John and Winnie ran off to Tennessee for about 10 years in 1802. Joseph married his third wife Abigail White the widow of Thomas White, Sr.
According to a Book " Bonded Passengers to America." Thomas and Joseph were tried for stealing a silk waistcoat in England. They were shipped to America for their punishment.
