Pricilla Sumner m. Joseph Harris 01-30-1797 Montgomery Co., VA Joseph Harris, b. 2-10-1772, d. 1840-1850, s/o
unknown. I was informed recently that Priscilla was not a
Lambert but a Sumner, d/o Hezekial. I was a bit skeptical as no less than 3
other printed sources note her as a Lambert. However, Nelson Lafon sent me
copies of the bond 5/2004 & I am now completely convinced she is indeed a
Sumner. Thank you Mr. Lafon! Image1
