This information was sent to me by another researcher: "Ann's father, Moses Cummins, Esq. had been a Justice of the peace: the Norton Banning 1862 history of Knox Co., Ohio gives a sketch of this family." This quote apparently came from a book about the Teegarden family written about 30 to 40 years ago. I have been unable to locate the authors. I found one hard copy and two microfilm copies of the Norton Banning book at the Sutro Library in San Francisco. I did not find any information about the family of Moses Cummins in any of these copies. Is it possible that there are other copies of this book that have sketches of Knox county families including the family of Moses Cummings? Thank you for any help you can provide.
