| Notes |
- "Cummings Memorial" and "A History of Dunstable, Massachusetts" list Sybil Bailey as Oliver's wife. I believe this to be wrong.
First, "Cummings Genealogy" lists Sibyla Whitney, and this seems to be the current consensus.
I have found no marriage records or references to a maiden name for either name.
Second, Sybil Bailey is actually the name of the wife of Joseph Willard, grandmother of James Willard Cummings. It would seem unlikely that these two are not connected in some way, even if in error. I am presuming that "Cummings Memorial" used "A History of Dunstable, Massachusetts" as its source, and the author of that just got it wrong somehow.
A marriage record or any original document with a maiden name would be very enlightening and solve this dilemma. As it stands though, I am going with Sybil Whitney as the wife, and proceeding on that course.

James Cummings was at the taking of Ticonderoga, July 12, 1777, and in other engagements during the war. He married, first, Charlotte French, and, second, Sally Wright, both of Dunstable, and died Sept. 6. 1840, aged 80 years.

One article in a warrant given under the seal of Jonas French , Zebedee Kendall , and James Cummings , Jan. 19, 1787 , is "to See if the parish will Take under Consideration our Situation in Regard of a burrying place and do and act thereon as they shall think proper." And with this and the usual summons for the meeting, the first book of records of the Second Parish in Dunstable closes. It is a folio bound in parchment, and contains 214 pages, embracing the proceedings of the parish from 1755 to 1787 ; and although some one has written in bold letters at the commencement, "A cannon of Discord," it contains matter of great interest to the citizens of the town, and testifies on almost every page to the independence, integrity, wisdom, and patriotism of the early settlers of the place.
