Rivers, no doubt in what is now Elizabeth Tp Allegheny Co, Pa, but thinks they did not take up land there. Their son Charles probably lived with them there as Mrs Sumner understands he got his wife in that section & probably moved shortly thereafter to the Robert Beatty farm as they lived & died in his home there. It was located just by Monroeville, Pa adjg the Cross Roads Church. The only children Mrs S. ever heard of were William, Adam & her grandfather Charles, unless the wife of Joseph Crisswell may have been one.

She says her nephew Carl (Chas) M. Carothers several (abt 20?) yrs ago met in Denver, Col an Arthur Carothers who lived there, an exact counter part of Carl in appearance, who was from Ky & said he was a great grandson of Adam, just as Carl was a great grandson of his brother, Charles. Adam's descendants live about Shelbyville, Ky & she thinks there would be some living there as old as she is 85 1/2 yrs. We finally concluded that Mary & Ellen were the oldest of her grandparent's children, then Robert & the other boys as listed. Says Joseph Crisswell, a farmer in the "Neck" was an Uncle of her father & thinks his wife must have been a sister of one of her grandparents. Her Uncle Joe C. was called for him. She said her husband's father was English & there was said to be a Sumner fortune in England. Charles Sumner was employed to go over & see about getting it & that was the last they ever heard of it. Don't know whether he got it or not. 10:30 PM
