General Notes: Husband - Benjamin Cumings, Jr.

---

He was a descendant of Isaac Cumings, who came from England to Ipswich, Massachusetts, in 1627. From Isaac Cumings, the line is traced through John, his son; John, in the third American generation; Samuel; Samuel, in the fifth generation; and Benjamin Cumings, sixth in this line in America, whose name appears on the muster roll of Captain Reuben Dow's company of minute-men at the Lexington alarm and Bunker Hill, who marched from Hollis, New Hampshire, April 19, 1775. He was one of fifty-three men who remained at Cambridge and who volunteered for eight months in a new company under Captain Reuben Dow, and he saw subsequent service for one year in the New Hampshire Continental Line, attaining the rank of lieutenant.

He served in the War of 1812 and attained the rank of major.
