John Cuming
Posted on | August 14, 2009 | Comments Off
John Cuming was a country doctor, Lt. Col. in the French and Indian War, and presided over 70 town meetings before and during the Revolution. He could not have done this without help to run his farm, which he found in his slaves Jem and Brister (who proclaimed his freedom after serving in the Revolutionary War alongside John Cuming). Brister’s Hill and Spring were named after him (See Brister and Fenda Freeman under Walden Pond)).Category: Historical Figures
