ROBERT CUNNINGHAM, farmer, P. O. Stony Point; is another son of John
Cunningham, a sketch of whose family appears in the biography of the
younger John Cunningham in this work. He was born Jan. 13th, 1819. On
the 31st of Aug. 1841, he was united in marriage to Miss Maria Louisa
Cutright, daughter of Henry Cutright, and granddaughter of Maj. Samuel
Cutright, who settled Cutright Station, near Clintonville, in 1779. Their
union has produced four children, viz: Henry, who is married and resides
in Shelby County, Mo.; Rebecca, who married William C. Stipp; Sallie, who
married Ben. Stipp, and Ray, who is unmarried and lives with his parents.
Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham are both members of the Christian Church, the
former having made his profession of religion in 1840. He is also a
Mason, and a member of the Mt. Sterling Commandery of Knights Templar. He
owns 123 acres of land, and has been a successful breeder of short-horn
cattle. He was a Whig before the war and his views are now in accord
with the Democracy.
