Son of Samuel Summers and Nancy Middleton; grandson of John Summers and Isabella Todd; great-grandson of Samuel Todd and Ann Houston Todd; great-great-grandson of Samuel Houston and Margaret McClung Houston.
Matthew Summers was a third cousin of Gen. Sam Houston, President of the Republic of Texas.
Matthew Summers married Elizabeth Isbell, daughter of William and Sarah Richardson Isbell from Lincoln Co., Tennessee. Her sister Jemima Isbell married his brother John Summers.
Their brothers James Isbell and Levi Isbell married sisters Elizabeth Birdwell Sarah Birdwell, who were fourth cousins of Sam Houston.
In the 1860 Agriculture Census of DeKalb County, Alabama, Elizabeth Summers was shown 8 households away from Levi Isbell living on her own farm with 37 improved acres and 107 unimproved acres. Between them were George Washington Masters, his sons Benjamin and Newton J. Masters, and son-in-law Reuben Hall. This is apparently the farm where Matthew Summers died in 1858, which appears to be the Five Forks area west of Geraldine, which is approximately 15 miles west of Black Oak Cemetery where Matthew Summers was buried.
