Individual Details

"His father (Charles Milton) and Uncle (his fathers only brother) were partners and their property consisted in farms and Distilleries. My brother says their brand of whiskey was a Beare, but I never heard my father say what it was. When my father was eight years of age his father was killed by a tree falling on him." excerpt from letter by granddaughter, Mary Brown Cummins.
