John Adam Summer Family

John Adam Summer is said to have come from Odenwald in the Oberland District in the south of Germany. He arrived at Philadelphia in 1742, coming on Capt. Robert Brown's ship, the "St. Andrew." He is said to have married Margaret Jostin or "Yost." He came to Pennsylvania as an indentured servant and lived in that Colony for about seven years. According to family tradition he then set about on two expeditions, the latter of which brought him to the Dutch Fork of S.C., where he decided to settle with his family.

In 1752, John Adam Summer petitioned for bounty in S.C. stating he had come from Rotterdam on Capt. Russell's ship. Capt. Russell's ship was the Edinburgh which sailed from Philadelphia and arrived at Charleston in August 1752. He was accompanied by the Hewitt and Ridlehoover families in this move to SC. In 1752 he had a wife and three children: Adam, 8; Henry, 6; and Magdalena, age 4. He was awarded a 250 acre bounty grant on the east branch of Crims Cr., north of the town of Little Mountain. He obtained several more nearby headright grants.

A description of the Summer family of the S.C. Dutch Fork is given in George Leland Summer's "Newberry Co., SC: Historical and Genealogical Annals," 1951. More recently a four generation genealogy, "The Summer Book," was compiled by the late Luther W. Hampton. Most of the following description of the family is found in these sources
