Otto Frederick "Fritz" SUMMY⁽⁵⁷⁾ ⁽⁵⁸⁾⁽³⁾ was born about 1718 in Alsace, France or Sumiswaldt, Switzerland. He died before 1790 in North Carolina.⁽³⁾ He has reference number TQ6C-OH. Known only as Frederick or "Fritz" in America, he is recorded in history as moving to the
Catawba River Valley in North Carolina "with another brother or a nephew". He was in Pennsylvania as late as 1753 when he had three children baptised at the Trinity Tulpehocken Church near Myerstown, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania.

There is no information on him after that date but apparently he had a very large family. Many of the PIONEERS did not register their land, but merely "squatted" on unoccupied areas. It is believed that Frederick was one of these, both in Pennsylvania and in North Carolina. The problems arose later when SOMEONE took claim to it and registered their claim with the authorities.

It is no known if "Mar" was a shortening of his wife's middle name or if it was her last name. There were some Mahre/Maurer families nearby.
Parents: Hans Peter SUMMY and Maria Magdalena HALDY.

Pearl Dale SUMMY⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾ was born on 28 Apr 1897 in Prairie City, Bates, Missouri. He died on 1 Oct 1897 in Prairie City, Bates, Missouri. He was buried in Prairie City, Bates, Missouri. bur.Prairie City Cemetery Parents: Joel Francis SUMMY and Frances Bryan HORNBUCKLE .

Peter SUMMY⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾⁽³⁾ was born about 1771 in , Rowan, North Carolina. Peter apparently moved to Indiana or Illinois and probably died there.

Peter is believed to be the Peter who married Dorcas Kindley and emigrated to the north to be with his family. He may be the Peter Summey who was postmaster in Summum, Illinois in the early settlement of that area. Parents: Peter SUMEY and Elizabeth.

Peter SUMMY was born about 1799 in Rowan Co. North Carolina.⁽³⁾ He died after 1850 in prob. CA.⁽³⁾ It is possible that this Peter may have been the Peter who was postmaster in Summum in Fulton Co., IL. This is about 30 miles upriver from Versailles in Brown Co.

It is thought that he was the oldest of George Sumey's sons, with the name of his paternal grandfather. While records show he was postmaster for many years, he is not in Illinois on the 1850 Census.

In Brown Co., on the 1850 Census, in the middle of a number of Briggs families, there is a Susan Summy, 36, with two children. She is not shown to be a widow. Also, in Butte Co., California, there is a Peter Summie, 50, miner, born in NC, living alone. Could this be the above Peter who succumbed to the 1849 gold rush?

One source says she was the wife of Jacob Summy but Jacob is also on the 1850 Brown County census, married to a Catherine and with children. The Briggs history may have confused the brothers since several Summys married to Briggs. Both families moved from Davidson County, North Carolina, to Brown County, Illinois at the same time.

Solomon SUMMY⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾⁽³⁾ was born about 1801 in Rowan Co., North Carolina.⁽⁷⁸⁾ He died about 1875 in , Polk, Tennessee. SOLOMON SUMMY was a great mystery to members of the Summy family for many years. He first appeared on the 1830 Census in Monroe (later Polk) County, Tennessee. Census records in later years establish his birthdate as about 1801. [He was 49 years old on the 1850 Census.]

The membership rolls of Ocoee Baptist Church in Benton, TN record his membership ceasing August 1870. After this time, there is no record of him.
