John's parents were William M. and Mary E. Perkins Lumsden. They were married 9 May 1853 in Louisa County. In 1860, William and his two children John E. and Clora Alice were enumerated along with their father in the household of John M. Lumsden (his brother). It is possible that Mary had died by that time as she doesn't appear in that census. When William died at the prisoner of war camp at Point Lookout, Maryland, at the end of the war, his two children were orphaned and were raised by family.
