I'm back from the WEBB reunion and catching up on 200+ emails (boy! you guys were
busssssy while we were all whoopin' it up in Benton!)(I'm responding as I get to
them, so the answer may be already in the 150 or so I haven't gotten to yet... if
so... sorry 'bout the rehash...)

I have 5 Alex(ander) SUMMERS (popular name!) and now you've popped up with a 6th!

Alex SUMMERS, Jr., b. 1822 Sumner Co., Tenn, son of Alexander SUMMERS and
Clarissa LILLY, m. Mary Polly SULLIVAN Dec 5, 1836 FCI
