I am looking for information on my husband's (Dennis Ward)family The Cumberlands. Dennis' mother is Barbara Ann Cumberland Ward, b: 1929 in DC.

Barbara's parents were Mary Emma Cumberland, b: 1901 in DC, and Robert Russell Cumberland, b: 1900 in VA. (they half cousins).

Mary Emma's "Emily" parents were Roger Edwin Cumberland, b: 1875 in DC and Mary Elizabeth Kelly, b: 1878 in PA.

Robert "Bob" Russell's parents were Charles Hugh Cumberland, b: 1861 in DC and Ethel M. Talley, b: 1879 in VA?. (I have hardly any other info on Ethel).

Roger Edwin's parents were William E. Cumberland, b: 1853 and Annie Cottrell, b: 1853 in VA?

Mary Elizabeth's parents were Thomas Kelly, b: 1849 and Mary McCaffrey, b: 1852.

Charles Hugh Cumberland's parents were Thomas Cumberland, b: 1829 and Martha Rollings, b: 1833.

Ethel Talley's parents were Thomas talley? and Mary T. Shirley? b:1861?

There are so many Cumberland's because of Dennis' grandparents being cousins it gets very confusing.
I do know that Mary Emma Cumberland Robert Russell Cumberland had the same gr grandfather, John Cumberland.

John Cumberland was married 3 times: #1. Harriett Free, m: 1823 (this is Robert Russells line). #2. Mary Ann Weasner, m: 1835 and #3 Susan Johnson (this is Mary Emma's line), m: 1848.

I really need help on the Ethel Tally line. If anyone can help please let me know.

Thanks Mary

Frank;
Nice to hear from you. I'm always looking for more Cumberland information. The biggest mystery is about Ethel Talley Cumberland married to Charles Hugh Cumberland of VA. My husband is Dennis Ward and Charles Hugh was his gr-grandfather. Ethel is a mystery woman and nobody can give me an info about her. A distant elderly cousin of my mother-in-law (Barbara Cumberland Ward), named Alma Arnold, at one time had given Uncle "Sonny" Bob Cumberland some infomation on Ethel, but when Bob wrote it down, the way Alma told him, it made no sense. It was all "her mother" and "she said" and you didn't know who she was talking about. I have asked my mother-in-law to try to talk to Alma again ,but with no luck. Thanks for your message, Mary

CHARLES CUMBERLAND.

Hi Mary,

Just checking to see if you received the "History of the Cumberland Family" that I E-mailed you some time ago. I wanted to make sure that you got it and if it was any help to you in your endeavor to complete your Cumberland tree. Hope to hear from you soon. Margaret

I never inquired about your line of the Cumberland Family, as I was in touch with your cousin, Mary Ward. I tried to e-mail her in recent months, but I could not get through to her address. I have some information to update our progress on the CUMBERLAND genealogy. If you could have her call me or e-mail me at fisherma@arlhosp.org I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Mary, I have been trying to reach you for some time. I recently heard from Bob Parong who sent me a CD about the CUMBERLAND family. What a wealth of information Bob is. There is now mention of an Ethel Talley, which you had been inquiring about. Please contact me. Thanks. Margaret

Margaret, I have noticed some the messages regarding the Cumberland family. I am looking for a Emma Cumberland. She had a sister named Sidney. Also she married Carrol Dikeman. Emma was from the area down in Georgetown.the family was in the boat building business. I am going to the Dept. of Vital records. Maybe this may be your missing link, if it hasn't been already connected--ha ha. Any help would be appreciated. Most of the generation who would have remembered about this family have passed on . Thanks Donna Lennon
