Notes for John E. Summers: 22. Rosemary B. Dodd and Helen Summers Holweck, The First Three Generations of John Summers of Prince George's County, Maryland., 20 Dec 2000. "Of the thirteen known children of John and Mary Moore Summers, all lived into adulthood and only one (James) predeceased his parents. It appears that the children moved from Prince George's County into Frederick County, and then to other points, but did not leave Maryland until after their father's death. (There are records in other states of five of the 13 children.)." 23. Rosemary B. Dodd and Helen Summers Holweck, The First Three Generations of John Summers of Prince George's County, Maryland., 20 Dec 2000. "George Alfred Townsend in his "Washington, Outside and Inside" published in 1874, page 706, describes the Woodyard in connection with the 1814 approach of British Troops "The Wood-yard stands at the source of Piscataway Creek and near by the ground is marshy. An old mill, mill-race and a couple of deserted barns are within a few furlongs distance in an old sleeping field. The aspect of the place is dismal except that a large dwelling surveys a part of the scenery from a moundy hill about the deep dell of the stream"." Information about the Wood Yard, mentioned in John's will. 24. Rosemary B.

By 1710, John was participating in business affairs. It is assumed that he could have been around 25 years of age then so his birth was probably ca 1685, and thus likely he was born in Maryland. 27.
