Notes:
                   Not proven, but it's possible that Catharine was married prior to beingmarried to George Turney.  It is beleived she married George Sumey, a daylaborer and resident of Addison Twp., on 27 Sep 1854.  George was the sonof John and christina Sumey.  Available records say that Catherine wasthe daughter of Jacob and Christiana Lenhart. This source is the FamilyRecord of John and Elizabeth Sumy and Their Descendants" by John A.Summy, Stuarts Draft, Va.

Following is a letter written to Catherine during the Civil War, but itis not clear who William McVicker was:
