    Richard Summerfield married Sarah Wilson and they had at least one child.

    Richard Summerfield was a Solder in Captain Taylor Craig's Creek Militia during the Revolutionary War. His wife, Sarah, was accused and convicted of having Loyalist sympathies.

    The following information regarding this couple is courtesy of Charlou Dolan, who took the time to type up information from old, water damaged Botetourt County, Virginia court records, a transcript of which can be found online.

    Below is a partial excerpt from that transcript.

    List of heirs of Richard Summerfield, decd:
    "William Summerfield, Sarah Summerfield, Robert Wilson & Jean his wife, ___ Francisco & Elizabeth his wife, John Doss & Margaret his wife, Philip Summerfield, Joseph Carper, and Benjamin Carper..."
    [Charlou's note: I believe some of the heirs were dropped from the suit because of failure to show up at the hearings.]
