Avery Bryon 'Bill' Cummings died 24 June 2018, age 93

Bill was a descendant of Nicholas Gibson, through Nicholas' son William. 

Our line of descent is through Nicholas's son James W. Gibson. James was the great-grandfather of my great-grandmother Lora Gibson Burford. 

The reason I am familiar with Bill Cummings is that he was the father of "Captain Hank" Cummings, who has written two books about the Gibson family history. My mother became acquainted with Captain Hank when she was researching her family history.
