need info on j. william summers
I am looking for info on J. William Summers. His father and mother were borned in South Carolina. J. William Summers was borned in Georgia in 1839 (I think N. Ga). He moved to North Alabama in the 1860's or maybe late 1850's then to Itawamba county Mississippi in 1880. I have been told that he served in the CSA in Virginia and lost a leg but I do not know this for a fact and do not know if he serves with a Ga. or Al. unit. His name may have been spelled Summer at an earlier time. He was married to Mary Ann. I do not know her maiden name. His childred were Eddy R., Adam, John (died at age 16), Mary (died as an infant), Elizabith and Nancy (twins), Pearly, and Ben.
