Was Matilda's maiden name the same as her husband's surname? If not, what was her maiden name? If the same, then the spouses could have some common ancestry.

Answer 1

Census data appears to confirm her parents as Alvin Cummings and Mary.  You might want to search for more records on her siblings to confirm the parent details.
