Hi Marlene, Since Georgine Cummings doesn't have e-mail, I'll reply to your questions that YES she is related to Vincent & Henrietta (MOONEY) CUMMINGS through her husband. Georgine Wilma (BOSWELL) CUMMINGS is d/o Ralph and Martha (BULL) BOSWELL. She married Melvin Faris CUMMINGS 28 Dec 1948 in Harrison, BOone Co, AR. Melvin Faris b.13 April 1928 Walnut Shade & d.26 Mar 1988 Springfield,MO he was 1 of 11 children of Philip Franklin Bartholomew CUMMINGS b.25 Feb 1907 d.30 Jan 1995 and his wife Edna Lucille BILYEU who was d/o William Henderson BILYEU and Mary STEWART (not d/o Elzy as was indicated in earlier message if I understood it correctly). Philip CUMMINGS was 1 of 7 children that I know about of Reuben W. P. CUMMINGS b.Dec 1855 and Mrs Martha WARD (widow). Reuben CUMMINGS is 1 of 8 children that I know about of Capt. Vincent CUMMINGS and Henrietta MOONEY. I was not previously aware that Vincent & Henrietta's daughter Almeda had been married to Samuel PETTY prior to her marriage to Nathaniel St. Clair and thank you very much for that info. Do you know if any child from that marriage survived? I'm assuming that Jacob CUMMINGS who married Mary Ellen PETTY (whose name I also did not previously know) was also known as Jack CUMMINGS & that they were parents of Amanda, Margaret, Vincent, Henrietta, Mary, Almeda and Sarah. If I'm in error, I would appreciate your letting me know. Mrs Georgine (BOSWELL) CUMMINGS is my cousin several times removed through marriage as her grandmother Martha COMPTON who married John Royal BOSWELL was a younger sister of my grandfather Samuel William COMPTON. If you have any other information on CUMMINGS or PETTY family which you would like to share, I would welcome seeing it. If there is other information I have that you are interested in, please let me know, although I have not thoroughly followed all lines of the CUMMINGS families. Kindest regards, Don Houk -----Original Message----- From: Marlene Bostrom [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, October 21, 2000 3:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Cummings Vonda, Are the Cummings you speak of related to Vincent and Henrietta Mooney Cummings who were in Taney Co. by 1870? I have two Petty ancestors who married children of this couple. Mary Ellen Petty married Jacob Mooney Cummings in 1877 in Taney Co. and Almeda Cummings married Samuel Petty. Samuel was killed before their first child was born and Almeda later married Nathaniel St. Clair. I would like to learn more about these two families if anyone on the list has information.
