A big warm genealogy welcome to all who are
seeking out your family!  Hopefully, you'll find
something among my 21 years of research!

     
 
Searching out Summerhill records has been a tremendous challenge.  The
scarcity of the name should have made for easy tracing, but not so
because the name has been interpreted in so many various ways.

I have not connected all Summerhill lines, but I have proven each individual
line back to a specific ancestor.  It's my belief that the Summerhill's who migrated
south from Maryland to Granville/Warren Co. & Rutherford Co. NC were related.
Most of the research on this site deals with Summerhill's from these counties.
They were also in Pennsylvania by 1790, but I haven't established a migratory pattern.

To find your lineage, click the box below and begin the journey.   If you can't connect
your specific line, please write me.

William Summerhill was our first emigrant to the Colonies,
arriving in 1665.  This site begins with him.

 My Research
The accuracy of any genealogy research depends on many variables.   Information is found
and gathered from so many sources by so many individuals, even the most thorough research
is prone to error.   Mistakes will and do occur however unintentional.   My work is not
exempt even though I have put forth a tremendous effort to find the truth.  Citing sources
is of the utmost importance in genealogy research.  When I realize that some records
will never be forthcoming, I then rely on my study of the time periods, family names, migratory
patterns, family history, etc., along with simple common sense, to record what
I deem to be a possibility, stating it thus for your review.  

Wisdom For Novice Genealogists
Research with a wary eye as to documentation, sources and accuracy.  Always cite the source
as to where the fact was found.  And keep in mind that many older published genealogies do
not represent newer found research and corrections.  But these genealogies can, and usually
do, provide much useful information that can be gleaned.  I offer this advice to spare you from
regrettable mistakes learned late by this genealogist.  No other hobby offers such a rewarding
experience as finding your roots, so enjoy the quest, but  be as sure as possible before passing
it on.  And, please, don't use someone's years of research without giving them credit.
There's no satisfaction in a 5,000 name database that doesn't give credit or provide sources.
Let's leave a legacy our descendants can rely on!
