    Note that Sarah has gained 14 years since 1870.  The age in 1870 was 30, and we find in 1900 the age of 60 matches that, and is consistent with the birth date reported in 1900, May 1840.  The weight of evidence falls to the 1840 birth date.

    1900 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 24 June, Bayou Meto Township, District 2, page 3B, Hse/Fam #60

    Cummings, Athiel  Grandson W M Mar 1896  4 AR AR

    Notice that the child named James here matches the child Byron in 1880.  We can thus say that his name is James Byron.  I have not been able to figure out the parents of the two grandchildren here.  In 1910, we see Athel still in the household, but the Head of the Household is now Junius.  Single brother James Byron is still in the household.  Two other Cummings grandchildren of Sarah have also joined the household.

    I see that Vennis Cummings is 12 years old, which mean he was born before the 1900 census, so this adds to the mystery about his parents and family situation.  Vennis' older brother Athel was living with his grandmother while Vennis was somewhere else, but his mother had another child after that 1900 census, Arvilla who is now only 6 years old.  It is a good bet that both the Cummings parents are now dead, since all three children are together in their Uncle and grandmother's household.

    In 1920 Sarah is living with her son Junius (J C), listed under her nickname Sally.  Her son James Byron (listed in 1920 as Byron) is a also in the household of his brother Junius.

    1920 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 28 January, Garland Township, District 9, page 1A, Neighborhood Rd, Hse/Fam #7

    Again in 1930, we find Sarah (Sallie) in Junius' household, along with James Byron, and now joined by widowed Oscar.  Find more details in the Notes for Junius.
