Richard's ggg grandfather, Johannes Adam Sommer,was born in 1716 near the Black Foresest in Germany. Johannes sailedthe Rhine River to Rotterdam in 1743 and married a Dutch lady namedMargaret Jostin. They departed for America, and arrived inPhiladelphia on Oct. 7, 1743. After seven years, they relocated tothe Dutch Fork of the Broad River in Lexington County, South Carolina.Johannes and all six sons fought in the Revolutionary War, and laterJohannes was promoted to Major. His son, Lt. Heinrich (Henry) Summer(1746-1790, mar: Christina Dominick), a blacksmith by trade, hadseveral children. Among them was Nicholas Summer (1782, greatgrandfather of Richard Summer), along with his two brothers, JohnHenry Summer and David Summer. These three brothers were responsiblefor the Summer and Summers families that were so numerous in MorganCounty, particularly in Sunbright, Catoosa, and Oakdale.

Nicholas Summer married Susan Bannister, who was part Cherokee Indian.They had several children, including Wilson Summer (1810-1891) whomarried Ellen Stonecipher. Wilson Summer was the grandfather ofRichard Summer, and it is thought his old home place was located onCassell Road near the University of Tennessee Tree Farm.

The photograph below was also taken in Coalfield around 1899. Richardand Callie Summer operated a cannery from this location using tin cansand custom labels. There is a possibility these labels were bought atProfessor John C. Webster's print s shop in Coalfield. This propertywas located on what is now Guy Jones Road, north of L.B.'s Snack Bar.Note the four grapevines climbing the front porch. There was also ayoung vineyard of four rows to the left of the photograph. Nearbyneighbors were the Estes and Sisson families.

One night Richard and Callie were walking the road and saw a "hant"near where the pond is located at L.B.'s Snack Bar. A beautiful whitehorse appeared out of nowhere. The walked over and reached to pet it,and is vanished. They described it a as a cloud or fog. This may havebeen a contributing factor for them to trade residences with Richard'sbrother, Ben Summers. So, Richard and Callie moved to Crooked Fork,and Ben moved to Coalfield. This transaction took place around 1915."From "Summer and Summers Familes of Morgan County, TN" printed in"Generations" Sep 2007, a publication of the CFGHS Society
