  Alexander Cummings
Alexander Cummings, the third governor of the Territory of Colorado from 1865-1867, was born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania on November 17, 1810.
Cummings was not in favor of statehood and tried to garner support and positive publicity by taking an extended trip through the mining region before convening the Territorial Legislature.
Cummings left his stormy territorial post to become the collector of internal revenue for the Fourth District of Pennsylvania, and was later unsuccessfully nominated for the position of Commissioner of Internal Revenue.

  Clan Cumming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clan Cumming, also known as Clan Comyn, is a Scottish clan from the central Highlands that played a major role in the history of 13th century Scotland and in the Wars of Scottish Independence.
At the beginning of the fifteenth century, Clan Cumming had been reduced to simply another Highland clan, although the Cummings, as the name is now often spelled, continued to play a significant part in the history and culture of the Badenoch, Strathspey, and Aberdeenshire regions of Scotland.
Clan Cumming was one of the leading castle-building families of Scottish history and are associated with many castles in Scotland, England, and Ireland.
