    Notes:

    "Emigrated to Maryland in 1671. Brought over by Captain John Boddy.
    This line of Summers are believed to come from England. The first reported Summers in this line was a John Summers. On 18 December 1671, a Captain John Boddy...having transported 12 persons to Maryland to inhabit, among whom was JOHN SUMMERS, proved his right to 600 acres of land. (Research Note: This ownership of land was needed to Immigrate at this time by the King of England wishing to stem the tide of Immigrants leaving) (Note: John Summers age was then above 21 to have purchased this land BEFORE LEAVING)

    John Summers was believed to be between 16 and 25 years of age (born about 1650), this being the age of most transported. He would have faced a doubtful crossing of the Atlantic. A most dangerous thing at those times, where sickness, on board fires and ship wreaks were only some of the fears. The crossing if it went well would have taken 2 months. Most of the time spent below decks in cramped quarters with little light, sanitation or ventilation. Many died of disease on these journeys and John would had to have the true Pioneer spirit to make this trips.

    John showed himself to be a rugged individualist, by 1682 he was already paying ground rent (tax) on 120 acres of land called Pitchcraft. It was on the Westside of the Patuxent River in the freshes, in Calvert County, later called Prince Georges, County. As most people of the time he was a Planter (Farmer) by trade. He also was active in the community. He testified for a Edward Gold (a Negro) and his freedom in June 1692. He served on Jury duty twice in 1698, and was appointed overseer of the Mount Calvert Hundred (a piece of property). He was married to a Rebecca Dent and had 4 children; William Summers, John Summers 2nd, Sarah Summers and Lucy Summers. He died about 1705 and left his estate to his Wife Rebecca. When she remarried (to a Henry Mackbee in 1708) the estate went to his two sons. Rebecca died about 1711.

    John married Rebecca Elizabeth DENT on 18 Dec 1671 in Maryland. Rebecca (daughter of Judge Thomas "John" DENT and Rebecca WILKINSON) was born in Apr 1653 in Prince George's, Maryland, British Colonial America; died in 1710 in Prince George's County, Maryland, British Colony.
