I am looking for more information on Isom Sumpter, his wife Susannah
(both probably from NC). They had known children: Jesse, Harvey, and
Littleton. Littleton defaced the Owen Co courthouse and an arrest was
issued, but it appears that he never paid for his "crime". He married
Martha CASE in 1842 in Owen Co and enlisted in the 2nd Regiment of the
IN Volunteers in 1846. He was wounded in 1847 at Buena Vista. Upon his
return to IN he and Martha received land from the US in Clay Co. He
spent the rest of his short life there and is buried in the Old Hill Cem
in Brazil with wife, Martha, and daughters Henrietta and Nancy.
His two surviving children were: Jesse, who ran away from his guardian
and ended up in Texas, and Mary Ellen. She married, first a Dr. LAYTON.
I am interested in more information on ISOM SUMPTER, LITTLETON
SUMPTER, MARTHA CASE, MARY ELLEN SUMPTER, DR. LAYTON.
