Re: Summerlin family ties

Henry, b 1816 Duplin or WayneCountyNorth Carolina, was son of Jacob Summerlin Jr. This link was made by James Hines in his text on the Summerell, Summerlin, et al families. My research has shown nothing to disprove this link; however, I don't recall Mr. Hines showing references of documentation to prove this assumption. If this is the case and Jacob Jr is Henry's father, then the line goes like this:
[1.]James Somervaill of Gladstaines, b c 1620-25 in Scotland, d abt1691
[2.]John Somervaill of Gladstaines Scotland, b c 1640-1645
[3.]John Sumerell Sr, b c 1666, d 1702 in Virginia (was the immigrant)
[4.]John Summerell, Jr, b c 1689, Isle of Wight Virginia
[5].Thomas Summerell of Isle of WightCountyVirginia [John, John, John, James] ; b ca 1715 = ?Cobb, d/o Edward Cobb. [listed in 1762 PittCountyNorth Carolina tax list as Thos. Sumrell, with sons Jesse, Flowers, Jacob],

[6] ii. Matthew Summerell, [Thomas, John, John, John, James] b ca 1737
[6] iii. Thomas Summerell, Jr, [Thomas, John, John, John, James] b ca 1739; = Martha "Patsy" ?, d aft 1810 [listed as thos. Sumrell Jr in 1762 PittCountyNorth Carolina Tax List]
