With a loop:
colsum = yourcellarray{1}(:, 1);
for cidx = 2:numel(yourcellarray)
colsum = colsum + yourcellarray{cidx}(:, 1);
end
With cellfun:
colsum = sum(cell2mat(@(m) m(:, 1), yourcellarray, 'UniformOutput', false)), 2);
Either way, the matrices in each cell must have the same height.
Note that if all the matrices in the same array are the same size, then storing them as an N-d array (where N = ndim(yourmatrices)+1) would make your life much easier:
allmatrices = cat(ndim(yourcellarray{1})+1, yourcellarray{:});
colsum = sum(allmatrices(:, 1), ndim(allmatrices));
