Question: Robert Sumter!?!?!?NEED help!?!?!!!?
i think im never gonna find out any info about my granddad,Robert Johnson father!.My granddad was born on March 9,1940 and still is living!.From what my granddad said i only that his name was Robert Sumter and that he died around 1950's!.i've heard that he wasted his young life by drinking and gambling which maybe was his cause of death!.i thought that maybe was in WW II because most men who came from war then mostly drinked their self to death!.
Robert Sumter maybe died in Richland,South Carolina and was born here!.My granddad mom never married Robert Sumter but her name was Recell Johnson-Porterfield,who was born in 1919!.She had other children by other men and they were Leroy,Louise,James,Nemier,and Jimmie Johnson!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
