Christina Skakel Cumming, daughter of David Cumming and Janet ("Jessie") Wood, was born in Nova Scotia, Canada and baptized in Montreal, Quebec. (Parish records, Montreal) The name "Skakel" seems to have come from the name of a beloved teacher of the Cumming children.
Christina was called "Tenie" (pronounced "teeny")
Christina married Thomas Hogg of Gateshead, Durham, England in about 1859 and had four children.
After Thomas Hogg's death, Christina married her Mobile neighbor, Dr. Richard Wildman (b. 1827 Yorkshire, England; d. about 1880 Mobile, Alabama) in about 1878. The children of their first marriages blended well and took care of each other after the early deaths of Christina and Richard.

Steps away from Christina's unmarked grave is the grave of her sister, Kate Cumming, who wrote about her experiences nursing wounded Confederate soldiers at field hospitals during the Civil War.

Annie Radcliff Hogg, b. 1859 d. 1926 (m. James Tichnor)
