Hi Dennis,
Re: CUMBERLAND family of D.C. area, I am a descendant of John Cumberland, brother of Charles and Anne Gertrude (Nancy). According to the "History of the Cumberland Family" by Emily Independence Cumbrland Clingan, written when she was 79y.o., Charles married Elizabeth (ROLAND) and had nine children listed. Anne married Ignatius (LUCAS).

John, his brother was married three times and I am ggg-granddaughter of John and Harriet (FREE). I do not know how much information you have, but I would be glad to send you what I have.

I recently received a CD from a gentleman in Laplata, MD with about 60 some pages on this CUMBERLAND family. I am still going through the pages. I still have to add my line to it, but I have most of mine to date, from William Edwin and Ann (ORSAL) (widow of Nathanial JIRDINSON/JIRDINSTON, of Holland). Ann was of English origin I understand. If you have FAX capability, let me know and I'll be glad to send you a copy.

Margaret and Mary, I have noticed your posts and our family is also related to the Cumberlands' in D.C.. I don't have too much information since there was a rift in the family when Emma Cumberland married a Carrol Dikeman. At least I heard they did not hear that much from that side of the family. Emma was my husband's great grandmother. I wonder if she is related to your Mary Emma. Also Emma had a sister named Sidney. I was planning on going to the Dept.of Vital Records soon to find who was Emma's mother and father. Can you shed some light on all if this? Donna Lennon

Hi Margaret, Was browsing thru these messages, it enlightened me and my wife to hear of names that we also have in our family. There is a high possibility of our being related. My grandfather was David Independence Cumberland. He had 2 brothers and a half brother. Walter, I believe worked in the shipyards. who later on moved to Florida and owned a marina in Pensacola. This was told to me by my mother. Paul Ignatius Higdon, David's half brother, also worked in a shipyard. the other brother Frank, I don't know too much about.
Paul's sister Mary Higdon's grandson George Locke, has a bunch of pictures but the majority don't have names on them. One of them was like a Cumberland reunion in which my Uncle Paul, Aunt Mary and g-grandmother Florence I. Elizabeth (Stewart) Cumberland-Higdon are in this picture.
We received from Uncle Paul an application for marriage for James S. Stewart & Mary Redmiles, who were Florence's parents. He also told of a story of being related to the Duke of Cumberland and that there was a castle and estate for the Cumberland family in England.
David I. Cumberland's parents were James A. Cumberland b. 1864 in D.C.and Florence I. Stewart b. 1869 in MD.
James's parents were David Henry Cumberland b. 1838 D.C. and Mary C. ? b. 1839 MD. she was married to a Charles Barr after her 1st husband died. we have more info if this is not enuf but we do go back to William Edwin who was born in England.
My mother always used to say we were Scotch-Irish.
If you have any other info that you would like to share, we highly appreciate it. Our email address is - albert.jones2@worldnet.att.net

Thanks, Al & Chris Jones

I will be glad to share any info I have free and hope that anyone with info I do not have would be interested in sharing theirs. Thank you Paul My email is: sutonchef@gmail.com

The boatyards were owned by John and Charles (brothers) Cumberland. Charles was my 4 great-grandfather. His relatives lived in Dumfries, VA. (Cherry Hill, VA. If you talk to anyone there they all know our family and could tell you stories. We had and do have a wonderful family. The boatyard was where the Kennedy Center is now. Let me know how I can help you.

Yes the Cumberland boat house was between the current site of Kennedy center and watergate. I'm not sure of the name of my grandmother father but it might be Riley. He was married to deliah talbot and their children were Eva Annie Riley frank tuck buck. Obviously last two were nicknames. My grandmother was Eva Cumberland who married dav Morgan. They lived in Arlington. I actually have a pic of the boathouse.
