about the names of his children the will is easy to read. Although John Summers raised the children there father deserves to be remembered.You will notice on Chalkley's the mis spelling of names. On the will Isabella's name is spelled two different ways. Possibly written oneway

on the first spelling and corrected with the second spelling. There were many people lost due to the fighting with the Indians and Patrick was also a soldier (for lack of a better word)

Dave Rayburn has a map showing the area John Summers and Isabella lived.

I was in the area last Mothers day (2000). They were in the area of Natural Bridge, this part of the country has narrow valleys and would have been very, very hard work. That is probably part of the reason John and Isabella married so quickly after Patricks death. Our theory is John and Isabella were part of the Boone expeditions into

Kentucky.
