Fort Sumner (3) (1861-1865) - Established as three independent earthworks forts in 1861 during the U.S. Civil War in Montgomery County, Maryland. Fort Ripley (3), Fort Alexander (2) and Fort Franklin (4) were connected by earthworks and combined into Fort Sumner in 1863 as a part of the Washington DC Defense System. The individual forts were then classified as Redoubt Cross, Redoubt Davis and Redoubt Kirby respectively in 1864. Fort Sumner was named after Major General Edwin V. Sumner. Abandoned in 1865.
