In all the research I have done on both
sides of my family, the Cunningham side has proved to be the most elusive.
But at last I have found them. With the help of my first cousin Adelle Hinshaw
Newlon and materials that I recently
found in storage, my Cunningham family members are listed below, dating back
to John Cunningham who came to Virginia
in the mid-1670's. Our uncle, Orville Cunningham, traced the family, and much
of the information came from his work.
On July 24, 2000, I visited Spring Mill
State Park in Mitchell, Indiana. Its significance in the Cunningham Family
is that Lucina Sheeks who married William Imes Washington Cunningham (these
were my great-grandparents)
was the daughter of George Canote Sheeks and Artemicia Crawford. George's
father George and his
mother Elizabeth Canote built their home in Mitchell in 1816.
In it were raised twelve children, all of whom lived to young adulthood and
beyond.
This home was disassembled in 1933, the
logs carefully numbered, and reassembled in its present location
in the Historic Village which surrounds the original Spring Mill, built in
1817.
It was a moving experience to walk in this home, to see the huge fireplace,
to wonder at the loom that wove cloth with which to dress those twelve children.
It was more than that, though; it was a Pilgrimage for Papa.
My father never knew that his ancestors'
home was so close to the place we lived for eleven years,
Indianapolis, Indiana. So, for Harold Rasey Cunningham I made this journey.
If you have any relationship to or information
about these Cunninghams or the families that married into the "clan,"
please contact me via e-mail. Any connections
will be very welcome!
