After immigrating to Baltimore, Maryland around 1823, he moved to Virginia before August 13, 1868, to continue his profession as a stonemason at Fort Monroe. There, he married Diana Whiting Smith of Elizabeth City County and had at least two children, Samuel Gordon Cumming and Hugh Smith Cumming. In 1879, he established the Hampton Presbyterian Church, now known as First Presbyterian Church. He remarried after Diana's death to Margaret Cumming, and had several other children, including the Presbyterian Missionary, Calvin Knox Cumming. His son, Samuel Gordon Cumming, an attorney in Hampton, Virginia, died in 1920 after being shot by his wife, Elizabeth Bell Waller, following a divorce agreement. Marital ties expanded the Cumming Family to include members from the Waller, Booth, West, Whiting, Kendrick and Smith families.","Hugh Smith Cumming was born on August 17, 1869, in Hampton, Virginia. He attended high school at Baltimore City College and then matriculated at the University of Virginia to study medicine. In 1896, he married Lucy Almira Booth, whose grandfather, Edwin Gilliam Booth, was a noted Philadelphia lawyer and philanthropist to Confederate prisoners held in Northern prisons during the American Civil War. The couple had three children: Hugh Smith Cumming, Jr., Clara Diana Cumming (Kendrick,) and Lucy Booth Cumming, who died as an infant. His half-nephew, Samuel Calvin Cumming, was a Major General in the United States Marine Corps who served during the first and second World Wars and died in 1986.","He graduated from medical school at the University College of Medicine in Richmond, Virginia. A year later, in 1895, he began working as a physician for the United States Marine Hospital Service during which time he was stationed in San Francisco and Ellis Island, among other posts. During the World War I, he was then detailed to the U.S. Navy as an adviser in sanitation. In February 1920, he was appointed to be the fifth Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service by President Woodrow Wilson. He kept his position as Surgeon General until he retired in 1936 but continued working as director of the Pan American Sanitary Bureau until his death in 1948.","Hugh Smith Cumming's son, Hugh Smith Cumming, Jr. was born March 10, 1900, in Richmond, Virginia, and married Winifred Burney West in 1935, with whom he had no recorded children. He graduated from Western High School in Washington, D.C. before attending the Virginia Military Institute and serving in the United States Army during the first World War. After graduating with a degree in law from the University of Virginia in 1924, he worked in the international department of the National City Bank of New York.","In 1927, Cumming, Jr., accepted a position at the United States Department of State as a clerk with the U.S. Legation in Peking, China. He was then transferred to Washington, D.C. and worked to assist diplomatic and economic relations between the U.S. and several Northern European countries, namely Sweden, and in 1936, he was appointed Executive Assistant to U.S. Secretary of State, Cordell Hull.","During the World War II, he represented the State Department during the Joint Anglo Swedish American Commission dealing with Allied Pilots downed in Neutral Sweden. After the war, he was a founding conference delegate to the United Nations, and from 1947 to 1950, was counselor of the U.S. Embassy in Sweden. From 1950 to 1952, he acted as counselor of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow and briefly acted as its ambassador.","Cumming, Jr., was the Deputy Secretary General for Political Affairs of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) before U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower nominated him for the position of ambassador to Indonesia, where he served in Djakarta from 1954-1957. After returning to Washington, he organized the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research. He retired in 1964, after working as Counselor for the State Department.","He was a member of several social clubs, including the Alibi Club of Washington, D.C., and the Chevy Chase club of Chevy Chase, Maryland.

After immigrating to Baltimore, Maryland around 1823, he moved to Virginia before August 13, 1868, to continue his profession as a stonemason at Fort Monroe. There, he married Diana Whiting Smith of Elizabeth City County and had at least two children, Samuel Gordon Cumming and Hugh Smith Cumming. In 1879, he established the Hampton Presbyterian Church, now known as First Presbyterian Church. He remarried after Diana's death to Margaret Cumming, and had several other children, including the Presbyterian Missionary, Calvin Knox Cumming. His son, Samuel Gordon Cumming, an attorney in Hampton, Virginia, died in 1920 after being shot by his wife, Elizabeth Bell Waller, following a divorce agreement. Marital ties expanded the Cumming Family to include members from the Waller, Booth, West, Whiting, Kendrick and Smith families.","Hugh Smith Cumming was born on August 17, 1869, in Hampton, Virginia. He attended high school at Baltimore City College and then matriculated at the University of Virginia to study medicine. In 1896, he married Lucy Almira Booth, whose grandfather, Edwin Gilliam Booth, was a noted Philadelphia lawyer and philanthropist to Confederate prisoners held in Northern prisons during the American Civil War. The couple had three children: Hugh Smith Cumming, Jr., Clara Diana Cumming (Kendrick,) and Lucy Booth Cumming, who died as an infant. His half-nephew, Samuel Calvin Cumming, was a Major General in the United States Marine Corps who served during the first and second World Wars and died in 1986.","He graduated from medical school at the University College of Medicine in Richmond, Virginia. A year later, in 1895, he began working as a physician for the United States Marine Hospital Service during which time he was stationed in San Francisco and Ellis Island, among other posts. During the World War I, he was then detailed to the U.S. Navy as an adviser in sanitation. In February 1920, he was appointed to be the fifth Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service by President Woodrow Wilson. He kept his position as Surgeon General until he retired in 1936 but continued working as director of the Pan American Sanitary Bureau until his death in 1948.","Hugh Smith Cumming's son, Hugh Smith Cumming, Jr. was born March 10, 1900, in Richmond, Virginia, and married Winifred Burney West in 1935, with whom he had no recorded children.

After graduating with a degree in law from the University of Virginia in 1924, he worked in the international department of the National City Bank of New York.","In 1927, Cumming, Jr., accepted a position at the United States Department of State as a clerk with the U.S. Legation in Peking, China. He was then transferred to Washington, D.C. and worked to assist diplomatic and economic relations between the U.S. and several Northern European countries, namely Sweden, and in 1936, he was appointed Executive Assistant to U.S. Secretary of State, Cordell Hull.","During the World War II, he represented the State Department during the Joint Anglo Swedish American Commission dealing with Allied Pilots downed in Neutral Sweden.

After immigrating to Baltimore, Maryland around 1823, he moved to Virginia before August 13, 1868, to continue his profession as a stonemason at Fort Monroe. There, he married Diana Whiting Smith of Elizabeth City County and had at least two children, Samuel Gordon Cumming and Hugh Smith Cumming. In 1879, he established the Hampton Presbyterian Church, now known as First Presbyterian Church. He remarried after Diana's death to Margaret Cumming, and had several other children, including the Presbyterian Missionary, Calvin Knox Cumming. His son, Samuel Gordon Cumming, an attorney in Hampton, Virginia, died in 1920 after being shot by his wife, Elizabeth Bell Waller, following a divorce agreement. Marital ties expanded the Cumming Family to include members from the Waller, Booth, West, Whiting, Kendrick and Smith families.","Hugh Smith Cumming was born on August 17, 1869, in Hampton, Virginia. He attended high school at Baltimore City College and then matriculated at the University of Virginia to study medicine. In 1896, he married Lucy Almira Booth, whose grandfather, Edwin Gilliam Booth, was a noted Philadelphia lawyer and philanthropist to Confederate prisoners held in Northern prisons during the American Civil War. The couple had three children: Hugh Smith Cumming, Jr., Clara Diana Cumming (Kendrick,) and Lucy Booth Cumming, who died as an infant. His half-nephew, Samuel Calvin Cumming, was a Major General in the United States Marine Corps who served during the first and second World Wars and died in 1986.","He graduated from medical school at the University College of Medicine in Richmond, Virginia. A year later, in 1895, he began working as a physician for the United States Marine Hospital Service during which time he was stationed in San Francisco and Ellis Island, among other posts. During the World War I, he was then detailed to the U.S. Navy as an adviser in sanitation. In February 1920, he was appointed to be the fifth Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service by President Woodrow Wilson. He kept his position as Surgeon General until he retired in 1936 but continued working as director of the Pan American Sanitary Bureau until his death in 1948.","Hugh Smith Cumming's son, Hugh Smith Cumming, Jr. was born March 10, 1900, in Richmond, Virginia, and married Winifred Burney West in 1935, with whom he had no recorded children. He graduated from Western High School in Washington, D.C. before attending the Virginia Military Institute and serving in the United States Army during the first World War. After graduating with a degree in law from the University of Virginia in 1924, he worked in the international department of the National City Bank of New York.","In 1927, Cumming, Jr., accepted a position at the United States Department of State as a clerk with the U.S. Legation in Peking, China. He was then transferred to Washington, D.C. and worked to assist diplomatic and economic relations between the U.S. and several Northern European countries, namely Sweden, and in 1936, he was appointed Executive Assistant to U.S. Secretary of State, Cordell Hull.","During the World War II, he represented the State Department during the Joint Anglo Swedish American Commission dealing with Allied Pilots downed in Neutral Sweden. After the war, he was a founding conference delegate to the United Nations, and from 1947 to 1950, was counselor of the U.S. Embassy in Sweden. From 1950 to 1952, he acted as counselor of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow and briefly acted as its ambassador.","Cumming, Jr., was the Deputy Secretary General for Political Affairs of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) before U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower nominated him for the position of ambassador to Indonesia, where he served in Djakarta from 1954-1957. After returning to Washington, he organized the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research. He retired in 1964, after working as Counselor for the State Department.","He was a member of several social clubs, including the Alibi Club of Washington, D.C., and the Chevy Chase club of Chevy Chase, Maryland. He survived his wife by eight years and died in 1986.","Reference list:","Cumming, H. S. (1945–1977). Hugh S. Cumming papers (MS C 325).

The first name on the register is \"Nelson,\" who was born December 25, 1780, and died in 1851.  The notation \"sold\" was made next to 10 of the names on the list, which records births as late as 1860.  A few of the later records also note the first name of the mother.  In addition to the list of names with birth dates, a single sheet also labeled \"black register births\" lists an additional 16 names and no birth dates.  Among those, three are noted \"sold.\"","The recipes and ancestral information contained in the journal are written in several different hands.  Laid in are draft letters to a cousin and a friend dated 1870 that were written by Sue A. Farrow (1832-1874), the granddaughter of Horsley Goodman.  There are more than a dozen pages of handwritten recipes which range from pickled cabbage and currant wine to apple jelly and a wide variety of pies and cakes.  One page of the journal lists abbreviations of North American places, such as \"N.W.T.\" for the Northwest Territory with no mention of California, which achieved statehood in 1850.","Other genealogical information written in the journal begins with the birth of Horsley Goodman (1760-1827), a farmer and brother of Thomas Jefferson's overseer, Jeremiah A. Goodman. He resided his entire life in Albemarle County.  Having briefly served in the Revolutionary War, Goodman later became a major in the Virginia militia.  He enslaved 24 people in 1820, according to Edgar Woods' Albemarle County in Virginia (1901).

There are more than a dozen pages of handwritten recipes which range from pickled cabbage and currant wine to apple jelly and a wide variety of pies and cakes.  One page of the journal lists abbreviations of North American places, such as \"N.W.T.\" for the Northwest Territory with no mention of California, which achieved statehood in 1850.","Other genealogical information written in the journal begins with the birth of Horsley Goodman (1760-1827), a farmer and brother of Thomas Jefferson's overseer, Jeremiah A.

Their granddaughter, Elizabeth Ann Teackle (daughter of their son Littleton Dennis Teackle (1777-1848) and his wife Elizabeth \"Eliza\" Upshur (1783-1835), married Aaron Balderston Quinby in 1839.","Both families came to Virginia and Maryland from Great Britain around the same time, were owners of enslaved people and were probably related through cousins.  Genealogy: Arthur Upshur (1624-1709) was born in Essex County, England. He immigrated to the Eastern Shore of Virginia about 1637. His descendants for the next five generations remained on the Eastern Shore.  The Teackle family goes back to Thomas Teackle (1624-1695) who came to the Eastern Shore from Gloucester, England.

Edward pursued Jessie Alwine of Pennsylvania as a love interest, but his family opposed this relationship, citing Alwine's status as \"Catholic, middle-class, and Yankee\". The two eventually married and settled in Martinsburg, West Virginia, and had a son, Edward Taylor Junior.","This collection contains personal letters, postcards, U.Va. grade reports, certificates, a Monticello Association Lifetime Pass, various Army documents, and pamphlets on the life and interests of Thomas Jefferson documenting the lives of the Taylor Family: Edward Colston Taylor (1877-1940), Jessie Alwine Taylor (1879-1973 ), and Edward Colston Taylor, Jr. (1911-1997). The collection includes genealogical notes and research on the Taylor Family, undertaken by Peter Flugg Mayron, an Austin, Texas, architecture historian.","The bulk of the collection is correspondence between Edward Colston Taylor to his wife, Jessie. A smaller amount of letters from Jessie to Edward Sr. are also included from 1896 to 1917. Most are postmarked from locations in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Edward Taylor refers to Jessie as \"Princess\" in most letter greetings and himself as \"King\" in place of his name. Jessie follows suit in her response letters. Some letters refer to Jessie as \"My dear Jessie James,\" signed with \"Eddie Taylor,\" beginning in 1906. Some are addressed to \"Mrs. E.C. Taylor\" and signed \"Rex.\" Most letters were sent with Keystone Coal and Coke Company stationery in New Alexandria, Pennsylvania. Included in some of the letters are photographs of Edward. Jessie's place of letter receipt is commonly Cincinnati, Ohio or Greensburg, Pennsylvania, suggesting a great deal of travel. Also included is a letter by Edward Taylor addressed to his son, postmarked 1937, three years before Edward's death.","Also included are various personal papers and letters belonging to Edward Colston Taylor, Jr. Edward Jr. studied Architecture at the University of Virginia before serving in the United States Army from 1941 to 1946. He was the only child of Edward and Jessie. A selection of letters from E. Colston Taylor, Jr. to his mother between 1942 to 1943 were postmarked from Ridley, Kansas, where Taylor, Jr. was stationed from military service during the Second World War as a Second Lieutenant. Other papers within the collection include his 1930s U.Va. grade reports, continuing education in Architecture certificates from M.I.T., a Monticello Association Lifetime Pass, and various Army documents (orders, tax records, promotion details, etc.). Also included are various pamphlets on the life and interests of Thomas Jefferson (The Jefferson Monument at the University of Missouri, Jefferson's Relation to Botany, etc.).
