• Notes

  "There has been considerable talk in Smyrna since the death of Col. George W. Cummins, over his last will. Mr. Cummins owned eight nice farms besides considerable town property. Upon his death his will disclosed the fact that he had left it all to his wife, his two daughters and a nephew. To his wife he bequeathed the home farm and stock in fee simple and his town property; to each of his daughters he left three farms for their life time with a floating indebtedness of about $25,000 and to his nephew, a son of Mr. A. G. Cummins, a farm. His sons Walter and George he has cut entirely off." -- Vitals: Various Articles from The Cecil Whig, Elkton, 1891: Cecil Co., MD Transcribed and contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Cyndie Enfinger < cyndiee@tampabay.rr.com >
