Francis Summit
(1741 - 1818)
http://www.ncgenweb.us/catawba/summitt/summit4.htm
Francis Summat (Ger Johannes Frantz (cis) Samet) -- Surety for marriage bond for his daughter identified as Magdlin Summit to Jacob Thronbarg (Ger Dronbarger, Jacob) dated 25 July 1813; witnessed by Philip Henkel (brother of David Henkel, Pastor for the St. John's Lutheran Church at the time)(Bynum, Marriage Bonds of Tryon and Lincoln Counties North Carolina). This marriage bond contains the only known German signature of Johannes Frantz Samet.
Francis Summit had five sons and three daughters at the time of the 1790 Federal census for Lincoln County, North Carolina shortly after the 1789 land grant--all but one can be demonstrated as having been born in North Carolina and three specifically in Lincoln County (Margaret, 1780, Francis Jr., 1783, and Elizabeth, 1787).
The 1790 census indicates that the Francis Summit household was made up of 5 males under 16 (Christian, Jacob, Francis Jr., John, and Henry), 1 male 16 and over (Francis Sr.), and 4 females (Dolly the mother, Dolly, Margaret, and the unmarried Elizabeth).
The 1800 census indicates the household had 2 males under 10 years (Henry and Daniel), 2 males 10 to 16 years (Francis Jr. and John), 2 males 16 to 26 years (Christian and Jacob), 1 male over 45 years (Francis Sr.), 2 females under 10 years (Mary Magdalin and Catherine), 2 females 10 to 16 years (unmarried Elizabeth and Betsy married to David Dronbarger) , 2 females 16 to 26 years (Dolly and Margaret), and 1 female over 45 years (Dolly the mother).
The 1810 census indicates the household had 1 male 10 to 16 years (Daniel), 1 male 16 to 26 years (probably Henry), 1 male over 45 years (Francis Sr.), 1 female 10 to 16 years (probably Catherine), 1 female 16 to 26 years (probably Magdalin), and 1 female over 45 years (mother Dolly). The names associated with each category, of course, should be considered educated guesses.
His full name was Johannes Frantz Sam[m]et as indicated on the marriage bond for his daughter, Magdlin [Mary Magdaline], dated July 25, 1813. His wife, Dolly, survived him, but not much else is known about her, such as her maiden name, when she died, or what happened to her after his Francis' death. She may have gone to live with one of the children after Francis died, since the estate records clearly indicate the household and personal property of Francis was completely liquidated. Dolly was apparently Francis' first and only wife and the mother of all the children, with oldest daughter being named Dolly. She was designated as over 45 years of age in the 1800 census, as was Francis, but she was probably somewhat younger than Francis since she was still having children into the mid-1790s. Dolly may also be buried in the St. John Lutheran Cemetery, but a grave marker for her has not been identified.
The land in the estate was divided by deeds dated October 20, 1818 between four sons, who bought out the interests of Jacob Summit and five daughters and their husbands: Francis Summit, Jr. (120 acres); Daniel Summit (125 acres); Christian Summit (250 acres); and John Summit (132 acres). Henry took his legacy out of the personal property of the estate. A careful review of the estate papers reveals the makeup of the family at Francis Summit's death: Dolly (the Widow); Christian, Jacob, Francis Jr., John, Henry, and Daniel (the sons); and Margaret, wife of Lewis Huit, Catherine, wife of Henry Huit, Dolly, wife of John Cloninger, Elizabeth, wife of David Dronbarger, Polly (Mary Magdalin), the wife of Jacob Dronbarger, and Betsy , apparently unmarried (the daughters)12.
Marriage bonds in Lincoln County, North Carolina, or other reliable sources indicate the following marriages of Francis Summit's children13:
Dolly Summit to (1) John Cloninger, ca. 1800
Christian Summit to (1) Catherine Link, April 6, 1802
(2) Elizabeth Master, June 9, 1803
[(3) Hannah Ellett, April 12, 1846 in Indiana]
Margaret Summit to (1) Michael Deitz, ca. 1804
(2) Lewis Huit, November 19, 1816
Jacob Summit to (1) Polly (Mary) Cloninger, December 25, l805
Francis Summit to (1) Elizabeth Shook, January 19, 1809
Elizabeth Summit to (1) David Dronbarger (Thornburg), February 17, 1810
Daniel Summit to (1) Sarah (Sally) Moser, December 3, 1813
Magdalin Summit to (1) Jacob Dronbarger (Thornburg), July 25, 1813
Henry Summit to (1) Catharine Moyers (or Myers) , December 26, 1815
Catharine Summit to (1) Henry Huit (son of Lewis), October 21, 1817
This writer has concluded that the children were born in the following order: Christian (1769), Dolly and Jacob (in the 1770s), Margaret (in 1880), Francis Jr. (ca. 1783), John (ca. 1785), the unmarried Elizabeth (ca. 1787), Henry (ca. 1789-1790), the Elizabeth married to David Dronbarger( ca. 1790-1791), Mary Magdalin (ca. 1793), Daniel (April 5, 1795), and Catherine (ca. 1797).
Daniel Summit moved with his wife Sarah Moser to Greene County (1816-1822), Jefferson County (1822-about 1834), and finally Monroe County (died in 1838), Tennessee with his family and became the foundation of a large family of East Tennessee Summit(t)s.
