    • Daughter
The 1880 census shows Catherine living with her husband and five sons.  Catherine is marked as being 42, showing her born in 1838.  Once again, I think the age is wrong.  Her husband is a stone mason.  Her sons are:
  • Bartlett Cummings, born about 1857, age 23, working in a shoe factory
  • Micheal Cummings, born about 1859, age 21, working as a grocer
  • John Cummings, born about 1861, age 19, working in a shoe factory
  • James Cummings, born about 1866, age 14, at school
  • Williams Cummings, born about 1868, age 12, at school
