Found out how some of the cities around here got their names. Love history!

Love this kind of thing, I'm really into my family history research.
Once found a county in NC that had the surname of my maternal grandmother's paternal lineage and wondered if there was a connection. Turns out there is. Right now all I can prove is the in-law connection but there's also DNA evidence that connections. If only we knew our GFs real first name, and not his nickname! lol

And there it is, page 293 of this doc!
Summers; county in West Virginia, named for George W. Summers, congressman from Virginia.

My bad, thought it was NC! Think this family landed in Maryland and worked their way down and around.

"Have courage and be kind." I love God & all His creation, history, and holistic living. Live with purpose. Let's see what Jesus unfolds!
