Some conflicting information on the date of birth.


Descendent Report for Adam Cumming suggests 2/Jul/1841

Letter to B.M.Tulloch puts Adam Cumming as 27 years old on 21/Oct/1873, which would put a birth date of between 18/Oct/1848 and 17/Oct/1849 on him.

Some records Show a birth date of 24/Dec/1889 however, there was only one Donald Cumming born in 1889, and his birth was registered on 24th December 1889 so I believe they are the same person.
