Family tradition has that John Cummings was born in Ireland, and immigrated to the  United States and settled in Loudoun County, Virginia. He died in Culpeper County,  Virginia in 1826. His descendants later settled in the Muskingum and Warren Counties  in Ohio, and then on to Jasper and Story Counties, in Iowa. With a combined effort on  research from one of my cousins Carol Cummings, who went to all the court houses and  found the deeds, land records, probate and other court records, we were able to get  him as far back as 1780 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Another cousin Gene P. Amick  came forward with the Amick family register that had all the names and dates needed  to tie the Cummings family together. At this time we are still researching, and maybe  with a lot of luck we might finally be able to trace him back to Ireland. This  website is for the Cummings family and all the related families that married into the  Cummings family. If I left anything or anybody out, please feel free to email me and  I will add anything or correct anything that pertains to all these family lines.
