Abstract
Contains material regarding the genealogy and history of the Cuming, Sanders, and Gill Families. It focuses on the English
ancestors of the families, who primarily originated from Devon. The Cuming family is traced back to the 13th century and a
direct line of descent is established in the 17th century starting with Nicholas Cuming. The Sanders family begins in the
late 18th century with the descendants of Elburton Sanders. Less material is available regarding the Gill family, tracing
only a few generations beginning in the late 18th century with Joseph Gill. Some of the American descendants of these families
were associated with Parsons, St. Marys, and other locations in and around West Virginia. The collection also includes reproductions
of photographs and documents, as well as photographs, taken in 2003, of locations in Britain relevant to the history of the
families.
