I am John Jumper's descendent. My great grandfather was Arthur Phillip Jumper. My grandmother is still alive and in her 90's. Samuel was back up the line too. I followed this trail all the way back to Johannes Conrad Schumbert from the Black Forest Region of Germany. Would like to hear from all descendents of John Jumper.

These don't list relationship, but most of the time it is immediate family such as brothers and sisters with parents. Maybe this might help open some more doors to determining other members of your line.

If there are person's who did not make the next year's annuity payment (children in your case), it was more likely they passed away.

I didn't do all of the books, but enough to give you an idea of who was in the household every year annuity payments were listed in the books. I hope this helps. Good luck! Sue

Sue, The information that you entered on the vouchers is outstanding! By chance can you enter more vouchers? Are there any vouchers on the Jumper family from 1850 to 1865? I have interest in Polly's Daughters Lizzie and Sally. I am trying to identify as many of the children as I can. Your work is very important in this process.
Respectfully,
Lee
