    "In the same month of June, as shown by the court records, Thomas Cumings was indicted before the Superior Court, and gave bail for his appearance to the following September term of the Court to answer to the charge [of being a loyalist]. In the meanwhile he left his family, the town and country, failed to appear, forfeited his bond and never returned. Some months later, Samuel Cumings and Benjamin Whiting left the town and Stage, both leaving their families, and remained "absentees", and all the three died in exile. ... Grace Whiting, the deserted wife of Sheriff Whiting (as appears from the Hollis records) having been married to Burpeee Ames, of Hollis, May 28, 1782, and upon her decease, which occurred shortly after this marriage, Mr. Ames married for his second wife, Hannah Cumings, the deserted wife of Thomas Cumings."
