The dates listed below have different categories as denoted by the letters in the brackets following each date. Here is a key to explain those letter codes:
|
|
1829 [EA] - 1832 [LA] → Owner

|
1817 [EA] - 1817 [LA] → Attorney
It is possible that the Attorney was Henry Stephen Cummins rather than Henry Simmons Cummins - though the latter seems the most likely. |
