NOTES: Birthdate of Joel W. Sumner, Great Grandfather of Claude Sumner
is recorded in a family Bible and on his tombstone as 2 sep 1807.
In the 1900 US Census of Adair twp. Camden Co. Mo. two of Joel W's
children gave the birthplace of their father as Vermont.
I Believe it is very likely that Joel W. is the Joel Warren listed as the
6th child of Joel Sumner, No. 190 in William Sumner Appleton's "Record
of the Descendants of WILLIAM SUMNER of Dorchester, Mass.
