Pioneer Families

 

This list of Sumter County Pioneers was extracted from the Florida State Genealogical Society's Pioneer Descendant Program listing. It should be noted that this is NOT a definitive list, only a list of Pioneers for which an application has been submitted to the FSGS and approved.
 
For the purpose of that program, a PIONEER is defined as anyone living in the area of Sumter County prior to or at the time it became a County 8 June 1853. You do not have to have been declared a pioneer by the FSGS for your ancestor to be included on this page, you just have to prove they resided here on or before Sumter County was created.
 

If there is a family history narrative or other documents for someone on this list, clicking on their name will take you to that narrative or documentation. To submit pioneer or a family history narrative, contact the County Coordinator.
