Hello
Happy to find this Ripley message board!
I recently began looking into my wife's ancestry and discovered her great
grandmother's name was Anna Cumming(s) Ridge (1878-1954). Her mother was Jane
Cumming(s) (1835-abt 1912?) and she had a brother Lewis Cumming(s) (b 1871, d 1950s-ish?)
and sister Ida Cumming(s) Barry (1873-1954) . I have found US Census records for Lewis
Cumming(s) in Franklin, Ripley, Indiana around 1900 with his mother Anna Cumming(s) in
residence. I see also that Lewis married Ella (last name unknown) and had children Ona,
Ralph, Lewis, Charles, Gilbert and Luella at least.
Does anyone in Ripley recognize these names? I'd love to learn more about this family
from anyone who knows anything at all.
Thanks
Michael
