Joyce--Sorry it took so long to get back to you.I have been searching through stacks of papers and finally found the info.I had a letter from a granddaughter of Rachael Schoonover Summers and Paul Summers in 1959. She had been corresponding with Harland Gorrell,a long time researcher that gave me her name.She was located in Calif born10-28-1884. but the last info I got from her was in 1962.I sent letters addressed to her or her offspring but all were returned.Later I received a note that she had moved to Texas to be with an niece and very ill.Her line was Benjamin and Mary Hand Schoonover/Henry & Mary Wyant Schoonover/ Rachael Edith (Schoonover) Summers and Paul J Summers/Caroline Isabell Summers Higbey/ Caroline Isabell Higley 10-28-1884.
Rachael Edith Schoonover the sister of my great grandfather.Her husband Paul J Summers was brother of Elizabeth Hull Summers Pierson my great grandmother.Three of the Summers married into the Schoonovers and Piersons.Ms Caroline was a nurse, never married and worked on the Summers and Schoonover line for a number of years.Most of what she mailed me turned out to be factual.Walter
