*********************************
I'm trying to find this woman as a child, but no luck yet.

I am sure that she is not the daughter of this George W. Cummings. George married in Harrison Co, KY on 1 May 1873 to Artinsa Moore. There's no other record of a marriage for him. The area of Kentucky and the area of TX that she and her mother were in don't match any known location for this George. The ages of her siblings don't match with his known children.

Thank you!
