- There is much confusion about John Summers' wife(s) name(s). Names that appear in some research are:
Mary West
Seth Harrison
Elizabeth Blake
Most of this information comes from LDS records and have no other cited sources.
Information Pertaining to this:
His grandson Lewis Summers stated that John married a Mrs. Blake.
Some researchers cite that Judge Lewis Summers stated that John Summers married Elizabeth Blake.
In a John Summers deposition he states that he married the widow Lucas in the Winter of 1717.
In his will, John West made a bequest to Seith Lucas who was a tenant on his land. He also bequeathed to John, and Benjamin Blake and their father Robert Blake, also tenants on his land. Now, Judge Lewis Summers (mentioned above) stated that John Summers was married to Elizabeth Blake. Some researchers feel Seith was a nickname for Elizabeth, and it was Elizabeth Blake Lucas who married as her second husband John Summers.
There is a land transaction in 1723 from Thomas Harrison giving "Seith Lucas and her 2nd husband John Summers, and their son John" a lease for life.
Therefore, I support the conlusion that Elizabeth (nicknamed Seth) Blake Lucas married John Summers in 1717. This conclusion is not supported by primary sources and should be regarded with significant caution.
