Notes for John Summers: He was in Maryland by 1672. 6. Rosemary B. Dodd and Helen Summers Holweck, The First Three Generations of John Summers of Prince George's County, Maryland., , 31 Dec 2000. The original Pich Croft was surveyed lying in Calvert County Maryland on the west side of the Patuxent River in the woods south of "Croome", east of "toogood" (Towgood) and southeast of "Timberly", 400 acres, for Edward Fitzherbery. Prince George's Land (Certificate) 17/ 311.On that same date of survey for Ed Fitzherbert, possessors of the land are listed as Henry Darnall for 280 acres and John Summers for 120 acres with a rent of L0.4.10. Rent (ttax) Roll Prince George's Land 4/322. in 1682, Henry Brent of Calvert County claims the right to Pitchcroft as Edward Fitzherbert, late of this province, failed to meet the conditions of the Plantations. Edward Fitzherbert "quitt and forfitted right" to claim. On this record the name "Summers" is written in the margin under Pitchcroft. Prince George's Land (Patents) CB#2 /474-475. 7. Rosemary B. Dodd and Helen Summers Holweck, The First Three Generations of John Summers of Prince George's County, Maryland., , 31 Dec 2000. "John Summers of Calvert County demands his right to fifty acres of land due to him for his time of Service performed in this Province. Legally proved this day. On the same day John Summers sells unto William Cocks of St. Maris County all his right to said fifty acres of land. Prince George's Land (Patents) WC#2 /173-174.Remarks: Immigrant John Summers was transported to Maryland in December 1671, and by June 1672 was paying "ground rent" (tax) on 120 acres of land called Pitchcraft in Calvert, later Prince George's, County. The importance of his claiming land in 1680, althought it appears he had possessed land earlier, may relate to the right of suffrage as established by Charles, Lord Baltimore, in 1680: no one could vote who did not own 50 acres.

Prince George's CO Acct JB1/68-69.Remarks: His wife Rebecca by his LWT was appointed sole executrix. By 1708 she had married Henry Macbee (Mackie) and apparently was bead by 1711/12 when John Summers, as "surviving executor", presented an additional account of his father's estate. No WILL, INVENTORY, or ACCOUNT had been found for either Rebecca Macbee(Mackie) or Henry Macbee (Mackie).According to the Will of John Summers, his property was to be divided between his two sons after the death of his wife. Since the division of Pitchcraft between William and John took place in 1709, but not "enrolled" until 1713, it appears to reaffirm that Rebecca had died ca 1711/12.
Children of John Summers and Rebecca Dent are:
