Notes for John CUMMINGS Sr.
Arrived 1729 at Annapolis County, Maryland.
Charles Cummings named in his will, Mecklenburg County; .NC. dated 1777 two Sons Francis and John. I have made no effort to trace the descendants of John. They will be found in Rowan, Guilford and other counties. He is probably the same John as is mentioned in Rutherford County; North Carolina. Francis, Senior was born probably before his father came to America, married in Pennsylvania prior to 1722 Jean. His brothers Thomas and John evidently were also born in the old country; You will note I have mentioned a brother Thom also a son of Charles, but not mentioned in the will of Charles in 177j I will have to give you much data in order to establish this son Thomas, as a son. I will do this by proving Thomas Cummins was an uncle to Thomas Cummins son of Francis, Senior by showing that Thomas in his will dated 1813 in Guilford County; North Carolina, mentions his uncle Thomas. This would make Thomas the uncle mentioned a brother of Francis, Senior, but not mentioned in his father’s will, 1777 Mecklenburg County;
John located several miles west of the church in Guilford County.
John Cummings secured his grant on Reedy fork. He had at least two sons George and John. This elder John must have been the John mentioned in the will of Charles in 17. George married Mary; daughter of Moses McQuiston and located near Rockingham County line. (Ranicin p. 23).
All these Cummins families apparently attended the Buffalo Presbyterian Church, Guilford County, North Carolina.
John located several miles west of the church in Guilford County.
