Biography

From “Cummings Memorial” (1903)

26. JOHN CUMMINGS (John,3 Isaac,^ Isaac') married (published Feb. 18, 1715-16) Mercy Larrabee, "Mary, daughter of Isaac and Martha (Towne) Larrabee," of Lynn (Topsfield Coll.). Lived first in Middleton and afterward in Andover. He died May 22, 1756, having made his will Dec. 19 previous, being then of Southboro. December 16, 1727, John and Stebbins, brothers, "exchanged messuages" given by their father. In 1732, he is spoken of as belonging to Middleton, now "Porter- Gould place." March 13, 1739-40, mention is made of a deed of gift of one-half acre, known as "the burying place" to him, and David Cummings and others, with privilege to pass for burial across the land of Joseph Herrick, of Topsfield. March I, 1753, he bought of Nicholas Holt, land near Holt's saw mill. Mary, the widow, administratrix, deeded in 1757, a four-acre piece, same tract as above, to Thomas Holt, Jr. In 1767, to same party, 15 acres on Salem road, Andover, bounded on Os- good's farm ; also four acres in Andover to Timothy Fuller, to which sale Jonathan and Lydia Cummings were witnesses. Jonathan Cummings and Lydia Oakes were married in An- dover, Nov. 6, 1766. The inventory of John's estate at his death was £95 5s. 5d. He seems to have removed to Southboro by 1748, buying land there of a John How; his son-in-law, Thomas Goodale, buying an adjoining tract of a John Gould.
