Alexander Sumpter - 1900 US Census - Linn Co. Oregon

December 5, 2005

There are two Alexander Sumpters recorded on this 1900 Linn County, Oregon, Santiam Precinct US Census page. The elder Alexander (listed alone) is the father of Sarah Jane (Hamilton) Sumpter. He came across the Oregon Trail with his family in 1853. The younger Alexander is his son (born in Oregon in 1853) and family. It would appear that Alexander Sr.'s wife, Nancy (Prather), is deceased in 1900. Alexander is 90 years old. Alexander was born in Tennessee in 1810 and dies four years after this census in 1904.
