Hi katie, I am tracing the family and have got back to a David Cumberland born in 1820 at marketstreet,(markyate)in hertfordshire, his wife ,sarah came from witney in oxen, I have been able to come forward to the present, as yet I don't think I have come across your G/father in our cumberland line, there is a kate, but she would be 140 yrs old now, you are doing well!. I am trying find a male, francis c/land born in 1888 in sutton surrey, in particular his first wife between 1914-1943 when he married my grandmother, renee ella in 1943. Our paths may cross,there a lot of us c/lands dotted about, I find it difficult when they have no middle name. There is an Eldrid Harold in our line so you never know as I have yet to trace sons and daughters, if I stumble on any connection I will contact you. Regards John Cumberland.(Surrey branch of the family, living in Bridlington E.Yorks)

Surnames: Cumberland
I am a 7th generation Washington dc resident and my ancestry starts with a William Cumberland who came over from England ca. 1795. He married a Widow anne jirdinston with two small children boy and girl.
William Cumberland was a House builder by trade and he built a house (ca 1806) for a former General in George Washingtons command named James Lingen.

William Cumberland had 4 children: John, Charles, Anne and I dont have the info here with the 4th childs name right now.

William Cumberland died sometime between 1810-1820. The family geneology that my grandmother passed down does not say how or when he died. He did have a house on the corner of K st and 20th street NW.

The Cumberlands were known for their Goose Guns that were used to shoot Geese and Duck in season on the Potomac River. They were known as River Gunners.

The eldest son of William Cumberland whoes name was John along with his brother Charles took up Boat Building and were originaly located according to the Washington DC city Directory 1822 on the Rivers edge at what is now Constitution Avenue and 22nd street down the hill from what is now the US Department of State. He was forced to move over to what is now where the Kennedy center is on the River and reestablish his business when the Government started building the city Canal ca 1830. John Cumberland married four different times throughout his life and fathered about 15 children.

I will try to give what info I have to anyone interested and here is my email address:sutonchef@gmail.com sincerely, paul

Hello, William is my 4th great-grandfather. You are correct about Charles being a boat builder. I do have a different wife for William so I need to research that further. We have relatives in Virginia but have lost alot of family. You can reach me through this site. I'll let you know what I find out.
