I believe that the 1713 dates for George and Elizabeth (Gross) Sumpter are incorrect.The birth date of record for their last son, George Jr., is 1788 which would make Elizabeth 1775 when he was born.The true dates for George and Elizabeth (Gross) Sumpter are unknown to me.As far as I know, there are no birth dates of record for George and Elizabeth.
According to a book by Kaminkow, London Record Office files list George Sumpter born about 1703 who immigrated to Virginia in 1721.He is listed as a Brickmaker age 19.
He signed an indenture to James Gerald for 5 years.
It is possible that this immigrant's record confused the dating of George who married Elizabeth Gross.
To my knowledge there are no further records of immigrant George.
