Notes - Thomas had been elected Lieutenant-Governor of South Carolina, (1804-1806). At the death of Thomas Sumter, Junior. The Charleston Courier, on Friday 19 Jun 1840 read: Death of Colonel Thomas Sumter. “It is with unfeigned regret that we announce to our readers the death of Colonel Thomas Sumter, ony son of the late General Sumter, of Revolutionary memory, and father of the Honorable Thomas DeLage Sumter, now a member of the United States Congress from this State. He departed this life on Monday morning, 15th, at his residence near Stateburg, in the 72nd year of his age. Colonel Sumter was himself many years a member of Congress and subsequently Minister from the United States to the Court of Brazil. The confidence which he always enjoyed and the high stations which he so ably filled evidence the satisfactory manner in which he discharged the duties of his several stations.” Thomas Sumter Jr. had two illigetimate children--William Sumter and Louisa. Louisa married Murrell, had a child names Thomas Sumter Murrell who is buried in the Churchyard in Stateburgh--there were other child.
From "Gamecock" by Robert Boss, 1961:
P.226:
...He (Thomas Sumter, Sr.) fetched his 2 illegitimate grandchildren, Louisa and William, to Home House and gave them the name of Sumter, rearing as his own. Mary (w) had a stroke but lived 30 more years.

Jeannette Broadway Watts (letter dated 7/2796) "I have 7 children for Thomas Sumter and Natalie Marie Louise Stephanie Beatrix de Delage, none of them named Louisa. In fact, their first child wasn't born until 1-2-1803. Was Thomas Sumter, Jr. married twice?" (See above note for possible explanation).
