From Barb Huff: Richard S Cummins http://www.rootsweb.com/~inshelby/courthouse/estate_records/est_cumminsr.htm This estate is an excellent source of early Shelbyville names. Barb transcribed his sale bill, filled with names, plus lists of his uncollected accounts (he was a physician) and all the outstanding claims against his estate. Many, many names from the 1840s -- when even census records are not a complete source of names. For more about R. S.
