Notes for Charles Summers:

from Jack Ott, Summers researcher:

       Obituary in Winchester, IN, unidentified newspaper, April 1895--"Charles Summers was born in Botetourt County, Virginia, October 29 1806 - and was the eldest of a family of fourteen children. He was the son of Henry and Mary (Horn) Summers, both of whom were also natives of Virginia. Until he was 21 years of age he was engaged in cultivating the fertile valley of the James River, and hunting wild game in the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains, frequently climbing the rugged rocks to the summit of the peaks of Otter. In 1827 he left the valley of his birth, accompanied by his brother, and walked to Dayton, Ohio, and was there engaged in digging the canal connecting Lake Erie and the Ohio River. After its completion he was engaged as Captain on the canal boat., "The Alpha", running from Dayton to Cincinnati. In 1829 he returned to Virginia, again traversing the entire distance on foot. He returned to Dayton, Ohio, in 1830, accompanied by his parents. In the early spring of 1831 he made his first trip to this county and at that time purchased the wilderness, out of the ashes of which, with an iron nerve and an unconquerable will, he was to build his much loved home. After making his purchase he returned to Dayton, Ohio, and while there cut and sold wood for 25 cents a cord, and by that means, with unseasoned toil and a manly heart, he paid for his new forest home. On February 28, 1833, he was married to Miss Susan Ludy, and in the following year he removed with his young wife to his home in the Hoosier forest, where he remained and resided to the time of his death. He there built from the timbers of the wild forest a small cabin without windows, save small openings made by cutting out pieces of logs. Their heating and cooking was done by means of a large fire place, in pots and dutch ovens. For 17 years, irrespective of storm or sunshine, he was engaged as a teamster, conveying merchandise and produce between the then small villages of Richmond, Winchester, Eaton, Dayton, and Cincinnati. At such times as he was not thus employed, he chopped and hauled two cords of wood per day to Winchester. Nor was he alone the builder and the gatherer of the honey for this busy and happy little hive, for his loving wife was ever busily engaged in the care of her little family, and drawing and crystallizing into sugar the golden sweets of the maple. The country being so sparsely populated, he was compelled to go to Richmond, a distance of 25 miles to mill. Mr. Summers bought his first iron nails, and paid for them, and his first taxes, with coon skins. He donated and hauled the timber used in the construction of the first church in Winchester. This pioneer, yet happy little home, was not to be without its days of cloud and sunshine, of joy and sorrow, for on the 15th day of September, 1847, death, the great and inevitable destroyer came, filling the then happy home with gloom, claiming as Its own that dear and loving wife and devoted mother, leaving to the care of her bereaved companion, her small family, the younger of whom was a babe of but 14 days old. To their happy union there was born seven children: Elvina, John, Elizabeth, Sarah Ann, Mary Magdaline, Charles Wesley, and David, all of whom survive him, save Mary. In June 1848 he was married to Miss Rebecca Ludy, a sister of his former wife, who accompanied him on his journey of life, sharing his pleasures and sorrows until September 25, 1887, when, she too, departed this life. As the fruits of this marriage was born one child, Elzenia, who also survives him. Mr. Summers died April 20, 1895, having arrived at the ripe old age of 88 years, 5 months., and 20 days. He leaves surviving him to mourn his loss, one brother, one sister, three sons, two half brothers, and four daughters, twenty-nine grandsons and daughters, and seventeen great grandsons and daughters."

[Botetourt Co., VA, formed from Augusta Co. in 1769]

from Tucker's "History of Randolph County," p. 357:

       'CHARLES SUMMERS, farmer, P.O. Winchester, was born in Augusta County, VA, October 29, 1806, and is a son of Henry and Polly Summers, also natives of Virginia. He was brought up on a farm and attended school in a log cabin, and sat on slab seats. He came to Dayton, Ohio, in 1827, and some time afterward returned to Virginia. He came back to Dayton, in 1830, and in 1831 came to this county and selected a choice farm, which he still owns and occupies. He returned to Dayton, Ohio, after making the purchase, and there he married Miss Susan Ludy February 28, 1833, and the following year he brought his young wife to the Hoosier forest. He built a small cabin in the woods and cut out a piece of one log to admit the light. For seventeen years he hauled goods from Cincinnati and Dayton, and at such times as he had no hauling to do he would chop and haul two cords of wood to Winchester per day. Mr. Summers bought his first nails and first tobacco (dog leg) in Winchester with coonskins; he also paid his taxes with coon hides. He donated the timber for the first church in Winchester. He had to go to Richmond to mill, and distance of twenty-five miles. Mr. Summers did a vast amount of hard work. He cut (from the stump) and split 1,400 rails for George Hiatt for seven bushels of wheat, which was then worth 37 cents per bushel in currency. This he accomplished in seven days, besides going two miles to get some corn cracked also. Where can there be found a man who can do as much at the present time? In those days, they had no stoves, but cooked in pots and Dutch ovens. Mr. and Mrs. Summers had seven children of whom six are living--Elvina, John Elizabeth, Sarah A., Charles W. and David. Mrs. Summers died September 15, 1847, and he again married, in June, 1848, this time to Miss Rebecca Ludy, a sister of his former wife. They had one child--Elzina. Mr. S. now owns 113 acres of valuable land, which is underlaid by a stratum of gravel from two and a half to three feet beneath the soil. Although Mr. Summers has worked very hard, it was not for self only, for he has always liberally assisted schools and churches, and has ever been ready and willing to aid the poor and needy.'
