Avery and Ila had a son, Henry E. Cummings -- also known as "Captain Hank"
Captain Hank is a colorful character whom my mother came into contact with during her research on the Gibson family history. He has written at least two books about the history of the Gibsons.
I have autographed copies of both of these books, although I have yet to actually read them. However, I have used some of the information in the books (just today) to locate the graves and what information is available on the FindAGrave and FamilySearch websites.
