Misc. Notes
Land Records of Sussex Co DE 1763-176935423 Pg 104 Roger Gum by his will gave the land to his son John Gum, which said John Gum dying intestate the lands became the right of his several children, the present John being one.
Leaves from the Gum Tree25870
Pg 13 Nearby neighbors of Roger Gum according to a later description of his land were William Clark and Norton Claypool.
Pg 14 Many years later Jacob 4 Gum, a great-grandson of Roger, tried to sort out the land which Roger had owned which the administrator had sold, and which his son, John 2 Gum had repurchased. Jacob had the deed re-recorded and wrote some explanation. In these papers he says that Roger had died with some debts outstanding that forced the sale of the land, but that his son had bought it back etc. This seems to confirm the idea that John was the only child of Roger since no others are mentioned.
Pg 406 Sussex Co DE Deeds Liber K Pg 274: Roger Gum, willed the said land (land in Broadkiln hundred) to the said John Gum (his grandson), who died intestate, whereby the said land passed to his children, of whom one was the said John Gum.39945
