Hello,

I got a Revolutionary war pension file for my Joseph Cummins and it confirms that his wife's name was Olive. It doesn't give a last name but says they were married in Cumberland, Rhode Island on March 4, 1781. It says they were both from Cumberland and has a letter stating the marriage was performed by Jonathan Carpenter, JP. There was also a letter included from a William P. Baxter of Chicago seeking a copy of his file in 1904. He was also looking for files on an Aaron Blanchard and Adam Howard. Aaron and Adam both served in the Massacusetts line and Joseph served in the Rhode Island Continental line. Not sure who these other men are but the connection is that all three of them lived in Windsor Co., VT at one time. Joseph died in Windsor Co. in 1842. If any of this looks familiar to anyone please contact me. Thanks, Amy Keefer
