  2. It is unclear, without more research, whether this name should be Ara or Asa? Obviously, the transcript of the birth record said Ara, but it was a copy made from the town records. There is a record for the marriage of an "Asa" Cummings to Bathsheba Barrett in Windsor, VT, in 1808 that looks like him. But, then this couple ends up in Ohio in the 1850 census (here, family 46) where the name appears to be written "Ara".
