(born 1729), U E Loyalist. (spellings Somers, Sommers also found) The Summers family has been described as of German origin but also as coming from Nottingham, England. Andrew Summers was born in Germany, or at any rate outside the Thirteen Colonies. He was on the Crown side in the War of the American Revolution. From 1777 to 1783 he served in the King's Royal Regiment of New York, with his rank at the end of the war being still that of private. He appears on the Old U E Loyalists list as a resident of Charlottenburgh Township. Probably the father of Jacob Summers.
