Lydia Cummins was the daughter of Benjamin Cummins, who way back in the last century, was the teller in the bank that stood where the residence of C.B.

Rev. Jonas PERKINS - An Orthodox clergyman, born in North Bridgewater, Mass., October 15th 1790.
He graduated at Brown Universary in 1813, became Minister of Weymouth Union Church in East Braintree from 1815 to 1860.
He had a park named after him.
This land to the north of Stetson Street, bordering on Liberty, became the property of the Rev. Jonas Perkins. He was the pastor of the Weymouth and Braintree Congregational church for many years. When the town of Braintree widened Union Street at the corner of Liberty, they took off a corner of Jonas Perkins' barn. As a boy I remember perfectly that that was an outrageous thing to do, in the interest of economy.
He is buried in Village Cemetery at the landing.
