SUMMERS FAMILY OF CALIFORNIA,
by Georgia Kinney Bopp, May 1994, a genealogy of over 650 descendants, with
sources and index, is on LDS film No. 1750653, item no. 19.
There are many California
SUMMERS families not associated with this line. If you think this is your
SUMMERS family, email me before ordering the LDS film. I am not actively
researching this line now but continue to add new information when it comes my
way.
________________
The earliest known associated surnames are on the Summers
side: Thomas Summers born ca. 1735 and John
Rudolph Waymire born ca. 1725 (arrived in America
in 1753). Waymire is the only known direct line
Revolutionary War connection. A Waymire daughter
married into our Summers line and one of her sisters
married a Huber/Hoover whose descendant became a U.S. President; that makes
President Hoover our distant cousin. The information about the Waymire connection was discovered after I compiled my Summers family book.
