Also see: Frames # 000628-000631 of White Co, TN microfilm #152, Book B of Volume A-B Probate (Estate) Records, 1807-1899. Question: Lee Brogden was the son of H.D. & Martha Jane Sutherland Brogden (who died in 1877). Since Lee's father was H.D. Brogden (who died in 1938), why did C.T. Haston become the guardian of Lee Brogden when Daniel Sutherland died (apparently sometime in the early 1880s)? What was the relationship between Daniel Sutherland and Martha Jane Sutherland who married H.D. Brogden?

**Cummings** [Submit Information]
Joseph Cummings (a founding Elder) According to the Union Church register, "Joseph Cummings" (the same man who was ordained as an elder in 1811) died in 1870. This information does not match information provided by Cummings family researchers. See the following information submitted by Hoyte Cook (cookengr@earthlink.net). (Perhaps the person who entered the 1870 death date in the register confused Joseph Cummings, Jr. (who died near 1870) with Joseph Cummings, Sr. (who was the founding elder that died in 1853). The Joseph Cummings that is recorded as an Elder in Old Union Cumberland Presbyterian Church in 1811 would have been Joseph Cummings "Sr." (1762-1853) - who came to the area of the Caney Fork River - now White & Van Buren Counties - around 1805. He was born in Faquier County, Virginia and lived for a while in the area of Henry/Patrick Counties, Virginia. He was a soldier in the American Revolution. He is buried in the Stony Point Cemetery in Van Buren County, Tennessee. Joseph, Sr's. son, Joseph Cummings, Jr. (1802-1868), may have also been involved in Old Union to some extent. Joseph Cummings, Jr. was the first Trustee of Van Buren County. Four of his sons were in the Confederate Army, and, at age 60, Joseph, Jr. joined the Army also. He served in the 22nd Tennessee Infantry, and is believed to have also served with the 38th Tennessee Infantry. It is documented in the Diary of Carroll Henderson Clark that "Sqr. Jos. Cummings" was present when the Army of Tennessee retreated from Nashville in the snow and freezing rain in January, 1865. The last will and testament of Joseph Cummings, Jr. is on file in Van Buren County, Tennessee. He and his wife Ann Denney are buried in Big Fork Cemetery in Van Buren County. Joseph Cummings III (1838-1892) may have been involved with Old Union. His wife Sophia (Kirkland) is listed among the members. Joseph III served with the 16th Tennessee Infantry in the 1860's War. He and his wife Sophia are buried at Eureka Cemetery in Warren County, Tennessee, near Highway 30. According to Masonic records, John L. Cummings (1840-1866), brother of Joseph Cummings, III, was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church ... and that would very likely have been Old Union Church. He is buried at Big Fork cemetery. He, along with his brother Joseph III, served in the 16th Tennessee Infantry in the 1860's War.

This Margaret died on Mary 22, 1871 in Van Buren County, TN. Was this Margurette Gamble, who joined Old Union in 1865, the wife of Robert Gamble, Sr. (a founding elder of Old Union)?
