Documentation:
* Notes for Jethro B Sumner From notes by Betty Parrish:
* Buried in Jordon-Sumner Cemetery on Oconee Road outside of Tennille, GA, south of Sandersville in Washington County.
* The first Washington County record of the surname, Sumner, is found in 1830. One is the marriage record of Jethro Sumner and Jinsey Phillips.
