- A William Sumpter's will was filed in Louisa Co, VA in 1752 in which two sons, William and John and wife Elizabeth are listed. A William Sumpter is named executor. The widow was a well-known mid-wife in the area and supposedly lived to 111 years of age. In the the book "The Gamecock" by Bass, the story is told that the General visited his mother and sister when on his way to Congress. According to Gregorie, there were brothers William and John and a nephew John who served with the General at Stateburg. And sisters Patience is apparently well documented; she married first Franklin and later Suddarth. Tradition says there was another sister named Anne who married a man named Lan - possibly the wife of Thomas Land.
