Andrew & Mary (Lanahan) Cummings of Providence RI
Names: Cummings, Christie, Lanahan, Moore, Phillips, Scott, Wallace

1. Andrew CUMMINGS (b. abt 1805 IRL; d.1860/1865-RI)
sp: Mary LANAHAN (b. Abt 1812-IRL; d.4 May 1884-Providence, RI) daughter of Bartley & Mary Lanahan.
At the time of the 1860 federal census, Andrew - age 55, and Mary - age 50, were living in Warwick with their grown children Bridget - age 20 and Thomas - age 18. Andrew's occupation was given as Watchman, and both he and Mary were listed as born in Ireland. Bridget and Thomas had their birthplace listed as RI. In 1865, in the RI state census, Mary was listed as a widow and head of household in North Providence. She was living in Providence in the 1867 city directory. Other records give the births of Catherine and Bridget as either New Brunswick or Nova Scotia, but Thomas' birthplace is given consistently as RI, and in some cases, specifically as Warwick. There is no death record for Andrew or birth record for Thomas in the RI state vital records.

George and Ellen Cummings of Cumberland RI
Names: Cummings, Kelly, Murphy, Massey, Cox

1. George CUMMINGS (d. Bef 1880)
sp: Ellen B. (b. Abt 1834-IRL; d.30 May 1917-Cumberland,RI)
The first identified record of this family is the 1880 census, when Ellen, widow, is living in Cumberland RI with her children, as head of household. No death record for George has been located to date. Ellen's death record in 1917 in Cumberland states she was age 85 born in Ireland, parents names Michael & Bridget. It appears that the family probably lived in Manchester, England before immigrating to the US.

John and Mary (Rogers) CUMMINGS of Providence RI and Fall River MA
Names: Cummings, Brennan, Giblin, Loughran, Rogers

1. John CUMMINGS (b. Jul 1829-Strokestown,Co. Roscommon, Ireland; d.11 Mar 1907-Fall River, MA), son of Patrick and Catherine (McGlynn) Cummings
sp: Mary ROGERS (d. Bef 1907)
John may have lived in England before immigrating to the US. He first came to Providence RI by 1858, where several of his children were born, and he appears in the city directories through 1869. In 1869 a Catherine Cummings, widow, was living next door to John, and there is a question of this might have been his mother. John moved his family to Fall River by 1873. He worked at the Gas Works in Providence, and also in Fall River when he first moved there. He worked as a laborer for several years, and from 1884 he was a steward at the Central Station railroad depot in Fall River.
