(Below is the original obit entered in this memorial) This man was called Thumper because he was a shoemaker. He was the first to spell his name Cummings consistently. The records on this family are somewhat consed. It implies that Thomas had two wives to bear all these children, some of the children by both wives had dates that overlapped. Death dates of this couple show that she out lived him by several years. This family lived as 12 Silver Lake Road by 1804 and remodeled the home that was originally further down the street. According to Henry G. Little, Thomas was a very matter of fact person who had an earnest goodness about him. Thank you to: JBrown, IA, MN, Calif, AustinTX There was no daughter named Constantina. (That is an Italian name, with Italian immigrants not to arrive until many decades after these people died.) The daughter's true name was "Consentany". Like "epiphany", it's a church word. Instead of being filled with insight, as when experiencing an epiphany, a church-going person "consents" to be filled with whatever Christ's presence might bring, insight or not. Since her parents chose it, the consent was theirs, not hers. However, she did have a son named Noah Webster Farley, indicating someone around her thought dictionaries were valuable, after perhaps wondered what Consentany meant. Her will was filed in 1864 in Suffolk County, Mass. as "Consentany Farley". The name is also in her daughter-in-law's biography (Permelia Thayer Farley, printed in an old History of New Ipswich, covering events through 1914, so her marriage to Noah Webster Farley in New Ipswich, NH, their children and Permelia's death in 1914, in West Newton, Mass. It citing Noah's adoptive parents names.)
