Unfortunately I know
very little about the people or the tribe exception, what my elders spoke and
the two elders from Bolton.
I know nothing about
Mary Sumner except what they, the two decedents of Mary, both were men spoke
of.
From what I
remember, back in the days of the "Pequot Wars" and soon after many
members of the tribes up and down the east coast moved west running from the
colonist armies, some settled in Bolton other continued west and settled around
Winnebago.
And then many moved
back to Bolton.
