1113	Hunphrey de Bohun III Bard de Bohun, Lord of Hereford and Complete Peerage vol l p 22 has this line: Weiss Magna Charta Sureties -12154 This whole line is in Ancestral Roots by Frederick Weiss line #97.. Humprey IV father was Hunphrey de Bohun III Bard de Bohun, Lord of Hereford. Excerpted from Les Seigneurs de Bohon by Jean LeMelletier, Coutances: Arnaud-Bellee, 1978: Humphrey III, lord of Trowbridge and constable of England, was very close to Henry I and later Henry II. He assisted Empress Mathilda against King Stephen. Born in 1109, Humphrey died 6 April 1187. He married Margery (Marguerite, Margaret), eldest daughter of Milo of Gloucester from whom he received the heriditary right to the title of constable of England. Humphrey III was steward and chancellor to Henry I, perhaps following his father. He shared this post with Hugh Bigot/Bigod, Robert Haye, and Simon de Beauchamp. Sometimes he is confused with his father. We can follow Humphrey III in the entourage of King Henry I by the documents he signed at Arques and Dieppe (1131), various English towns (1131-1133), in Normandy at Rouen (1133 & 1134), and at Argentan (about the same time). When Steven of Blois, earl of Mortain, grandson of William the Conqueror and Adele, was crowned king of England after Henry I died (1135), Humphrey kept his duties as steward presiding over charters. Two were written at Evreux in 1137. One concerned infractions against God; the other gave land in Bramford (Suffolk) to St. Mary d'Evreux. In 1139 Empress Mathilda arrived in Sussex with her her half-brother, Robert of Gloucester, to reclaim the inheritance of his father. Humphrey, at the instigation of his father-in-law, Milo de Gloucester, rallied with Mathilda and defended Trowbridge against King Steven. During the troublesome years of the anarchy that followed, Humphrey passionately fought with Mathilda's loyal and true followers. He witnessed Milo being named earl of Hereford in recognition of his (Milo's) services on 25 July 1141. Humphrey's signature is found on several documents in many English villages. After initial success, the Battle of Winchester (1141) marked a turnaround and Humphrey was taken prisoner. In 1143 in Devizes (Wiltshire), Mathilda reinstated possession of lands and the office of chancellor of England to Henry in a written document. She also gave him new wealth and land: Melchesam, Boczam, Malmesbury, and Stokes-Wiltshire. (Humphrey had been relieved of his duties after the reign of Henry I.) Humphrey signed a document of Prince Henry in 1149/1150 at Devizes and another in 1150/1151 at Argentan. In 1150 Trowbridge Castle was taken by Stephen. When the abbey church of Montebourg was dedicated in 1152, Humphrey consented to the gift of the church of St. Gregoire de Catz by Ildebert de Catz and Steven de Magneville. After the death of his father, Geoffrey Plantagenet (1153), Henry was in England leading the army. Henry made an agreement with Stephen when Eustache, Stephen's son, died, whereby Henry would succeed him to the throne when he died (the next year). Henry II then confirmed Humphrey's inheritances in England and Normandy and his titles. Because of his role as lord chancellor and his signatures on numerous documents, we are able to account for Humphrey's whereabouts. He was in England with the king (1153-1154); in Normandy (1156) at Argentan, Falaise, and Quevilly (1174); with his peers in Chinon (1170-1173); back in England (between 1174-1179); and again in Normandy at Valognes, Cherbourg, and Bonneville-sur-Touques (1180 & 1182). In January 1164 Humphrey was one of the barons summoned to the Council of Clarendon where the constitutions were drawn up. In April 1173 when Prince Henry rebelled against his father, King Henry II, Humphrey stood by the king. With Richard de Lucy he invaded Scotland in an attack against King William the Lion who supported Prince Henry and the destruction of the bishop's palace at Durham. Humphrey and company burned Berwick and penetrated deeply into Scotland. But when they learned of the landing of Robert de Beaumont (earl of Leicester and friend of Prince Henry) in Suffolk (29 Sept 1173), they made a truce with William the Lion and marched against Beaumont. Humphrey battled with the help of the peasants and was taken prisoner with his wife at Fornham St. Geneviere near Bury St. Edmond (Suffolk) on 16 October 1173. The prisoners were taken to Falaise castle. The 1st of December 1174/5 in Falaise, Humphrey witnessed a peace accord between Henry II and William the Lion recognizing the sovereigncy of England over Scotland. Humphrey's fortune considerably increased with the death of his father- in-law, Milo of Gloucester, who without male heirs left a third of his wealth to each daughter. Humphrey also inherited the position of constable of England that was held by his father-in-law. In 1166 Humphrey inherited 3 1/2 parts of a knight's fees (rent) from his grandfather's provinces and 9 1/2 parts "de novo." His wife received 17 parts from Milo's provinces and 3 3/4 parts of her brothers' land. He kept in Normandy a part of the inheritance from Humphrey I, particulary land at Carentan and Pont D'Ouve. A document confirmed the gifts of his ancestors and the men of the Bohon priory. Among the witnesses of this act were Enjuger de Bohon, Robert of Bohon priory, duchess Margaret, and Henry de Bohon. A letter from Humphrey de Bohon to the men of Normandy and England stated that Humphrey and his son gave to the Blanchelande Abbey the title of Moulin de Biard with Pont D'Ouve. In 1181 with Alexander de Bohon he witnessed the foundation of Barbery Abbey. Across the Channel Humphrey founded the priory of Monkton Farley (Wiltshire) with his wife, supported by the Lewes Abbey. Near the beautiful forests and streams in England, his rich endowment provided them with a large yearly income. Among the benefactors associated with this foundation are Mathilda de Bohon (his mother), Ildebert de Catz (Chaz), Robert de Carentan, and his vassals; among the witnesses were William de Beuzeville and Humphrey de St. Vigor. Humphrey died 6 April 1187. He was buried at the Lanthony Abbey (Gloucestershire) founded by his father-in-law. He had a son, Humphrey IV, and a daughter Margaret, first wife of Waleran, earl of Warwick.	De Bohun, Sir Humphry (I2305)

1125	In 1703, Daniel Corwin received a deed for land at Aquebogue from Theophilus Corwin (possibly his brother), suggesting he was about to marry or had done so recently.	Corwin, Daniel (I5229)
1126	In 1835, William Skillin Jr. is listed in the New York Directory, working as a tailor at 166 Walker.	Skillin, William (I6960)
1127	In 1836, the year his fathers estate was settled, Moses Jr. was a resident of Big Flats, Chemung Co., NY, and apparently his step-mother joined him there, for Chemung Co. deeds of 1837 show a Cynthia Rumsey buying land.	Rumsey, Moses (I5403)
1128	In 1840 in Cayuga Co, Grover S. Stoyell was in Locke Tp, with a household of 1 male and 2 females under 5, 1 male and 1 female 20-29, and 1 male 30-39. The 1850 census of Moravia, Cayuga Co, NY had Grover S. Stoyell aged 45, a farmer with $1520. His wife Deborah was 38, and the children were listed as Amos 14, Lois 12, Charles 8, Ann 10, Jennette 6 and Ellen 4.	Stoyell, Grover S. (I5437)
1129	In 1840 in Summerhill, Crawford Co, Pa,, Ransaler Strong had 1 male under 5, and the parents were in their 20s. Ransaler Strong was in Jefferson Tp, Ashtabula Co, Ohio in 1850. He was a farmer aged 38, with $1600 in real estate. His wife Catharine was 39, and they had Horace 13, born in NY, George 9 and Rowena 8, born in Pa, and Martha J. 6, born in Ohio.	Strong, Rensselaer (I5435)
1130	In 1850 Charles P. Rumsey was a hotel keeper in Chester, Orange Co., NY. He was 26, his wife Mary was 22, and with them were Ann Degraw, 14 years old, and Oliver Rumsey. It is not known who Ann is, though she may be related to the Degraws which are listed with his brother William E. Rumsey in the 1860 census. In the 1855 state census, Charles P. Rumsey was in the 3rd Election District of Warwick, having lived there 25 years (?). He was 31, his wife Mary was 26, a resident of Warwick for 4 years, as were her first two children: Oliver, 6, and Charles H., 4, followed by Royal who was 2 years old. At this time Charles was a farmer. His framed house was valued at $100. In the 1859 will of his father, Royal S. Rumsey, Oliver and Charles Rumsey, two sons of Charles P., were to receive $150 each, the interest to be paid to their father during his lifetime. Charles P. Rumsey was of Erin, Chemung Co., NY at the time of probate of his father's will on 19 Sep 1859, though he doesn't show up there in the 1860 census. When the wills of his two unmarried sisters, Annie E. and Phebe V. Rumsey were probated in 1878 and 1879, he was living in Maryville, Nodaway Co., MO. Charles P. Rumsey is in Paterson, Passaic Co., NJ in the 1860 census, and now doing farming at age 36. Mary was 31, and living with them are their four sons, Oliver E., 11, Chas. H., 8, Fred, 4 and Irving, 2. In Orange Co. deeds, on 11 Mar 1861, Mary E. Rumsey of Paterson, NJ, and her husband Charles Phineus Rumsey, sold to Charles and Ebenezer Seely of New York city, land in Sugar Loaf Village, Chester Township. This may have been the property in Sugar Loaf Village which had been deeded to Mary E. Rumsey of Warwick by Martin and Caroline Litchult of Chester. In 1870, Charles was 47, still farming, and had moved to Fayette Co., IA. Mary was now 42 and living with them were Oliver, 21, Fred, 13, Irvin, 11 and their two daughters Mary, 7, and Bertha, 4. Grace does not appear on the 1870 census, so Mary must have been pregnant with her at the time it was taken (6 Jul 1870). He was found in Polk Township, Nodaway Co., MO in the 1880 census, in that section which was "east of K.C. RR." C.P. Rumsey was a farmer, age 56, Mary A. was 52 and with them were C.H., 29, and Fred, 23, both farming and both born in NY, and daughters Mary E., 16, Bertha, 14, and Grace, 9, all born in IA. From the above information, it appears that Charles P. Rumsey was living in Chester in 1850, but moved across the town line into Warwick the following year. In 1859 he was in Erin, Chemung Co., but in 1860 was in Patterson, NJ. By 1863 he had moved to IA, and between 1870 and 1878 went to Maryville, Nodaway Co., MO.	Rumsey, Charles Phineas (I4873)
1131	In 1850 in Summerhill, Crawford Co, Pa, Henry Dimon was 49, a farmer with $1200 in real estate. His wife Jane was 48, and their son Wm. was 18.	Dimon, Henry (I5431)
1132	In 1850 William E. Rumsey, 26, was living in Chester, Orange Co., NY with his wife Amada, 19. William was farming, and had a 20 year old black labourer named Morris. In Dr. Shelford's notes on this family, he gave the marriage of William Rumsey and Amanda Tuthill, the only child named being a son Fairfield. Mr Tuttle, Associate Professor of Economics, Ohio State University, said there had been a daughter Susan born about 1849, before Fairfield, but she did not appear on any census records with William. In the 1880 census there was a daughter Susie B. born about 1871, 20 years after Fairfield. This is quite possible, and perhaps was fatal to the mother.	Rumsey, William E. (I5102)
1133	In 1860 Merrill emigrated with his family to Old Tittsville, in the southern part of Nodaway Co., MO, where he engaged in mercantile business, but in 1861 when the Civil War broke out, being a Union man he moved in haste; in fact, his house was burned the night after by the Rebels. He went to Taylor Co., IA where he was for several years postmaster at Old Gravity. He also bought and shipped stock at this time. While living in Iowa and driving a herd of cattle to a railway station he was impressed into the Union Army, but hired a substitude for $800, who served through the remainder of the War. At the conclusion of the War, he moved to Xenia, Nodaway Co., MO, where he purchased sixty acres of land adjoining the town, and lived there until his death. At his death he owned about 800 acres of land in that locality.	Otis, Merrill Edward (I2241)
1134	In 1861, George enlisted in the 2nd Minnesota Cavalry and served in defense of New Ulm, Minnesota against the Indians. He re-enlisted in 4th Minnesota Cavalry as a 2nd Lieutenant and returned home at the close of the war as 1st Lieutenant.	Plowman, George (I8611)
1135	In 1869, the family moved to Sioux City, Nebraska, but moved to Marysville, Kansas shortly thereafter.	Cass, Aaron Jefferson (I6089)
1136	In 1870, Frances, now 32, has married Nathaniel Swasey, 34, and is running a boarding house. In addition to her Frances' son by her first marriage, William Morris, now 13, the family has 16 boarders living with them. Frances, 43, and husband Nathaniel, 45, continue to run the boarding house in the 1880 census. Living with them are their two children, Arthur, 9, and Grace, 6, along with 19 boarders.	Swasey, Nathaniel M. (I6947)
1137	In 1870, John and Mary are living with their son Albert in Wheeling, WV.	McCuskey, John (I5327)
1138	In 1874 he lived at Dalton, OH.	Otis, Ezekiel D. (I4762)
1139	In 1880 Pearl came with her parents to Guide Rock, Nebraska where she grew to womanhood.	Shelton, Pearl (I378)
1140	In 1905 he was living on a ranch in CO.	Otis, Ezekiel (I4736)
1141	In 1905 Jay moved to Kansas with his parents, where they resided on a farm southwest of Alton. In 1954 Jay and Jennie retired from active farm duties and moved into Alton after building a new home there. During his lifetime he was known as a prominent farmer and cattlemean, an occupation in which he excelled. He loved his cattle which were to him both a business and a hobby. He was a membr of the American Legion since its conception and has been interested in civic affairs for the betterment of the community. He was always interested and active in church work and was a member of the Alton Methodist Church to which he gave many hours of devoted service.	Carswell, Jay Lemuel (I102)
1142	In 1905 the family moved to Alton where they both lived until their deaths.	Carswell, David William (I370)
1143	In 1906 she was living at Clearfield, IA.	Otis, Alice (I4744)
1144	In 1906, he was said to be living in NE.	Otis, Merrill (I4737)
1145	In 1906, she was living at Washington, D.C.	Otis, Marilla (I4738)
1146	In 1906, she was living with her sister, Marilla, in Washington, D.C.	Otis, Anna (I4741)
1147	In 1908, Mary was living at Monrovia, CA.	Otis, Mary Frances (I2382)
1148	In 1920, Charles is residing next to Pearl Carswell in the census.	Paynter, Charles Edwin (I785)
1149	In 1920, Lewis Brown is 64 and has moved into his daughter's home in Collyer, Trego Co., KS with her husband Charles Razak and their two children, Fern and Kenneth. In the 1930 census, Lewis Brown can be found in the home of William Palkowsky and his daughter Nettie, still in Collyer, Trego Co., KS.	Brown, Lewis (I107)
1150	In 1927 Chettie state's that Rolla's whereabouts are unknown.	Dover, Rolla Ellsworth (I4870)

When the abbey church of Montebourg was dedicated in 1152, Humphrey consented to the gift of the church of St. Gregoire de Catz by Ildebert de Catz and Steven de Magneville. After the death of his father, Geoffrey Plantagenet (1153), Henry was in England leading the army. Henry made an agreement with Stephen when Eustache, Stephen's son, died, whereby Henry would succeed him to the throne when he died (the next year). Henry II then confirmed Humphrey's inheritances in England and Normandy and his titles. Because of his role as lord chancellor and his signatures on numerous documents, we are able to account for Humphrey's whereabouts. He was in England with the king (1153-1154); in Normandy (1156) at Argentan, Falaise, and Quevilly (1174); with his peers in Chinon (1170-1173); back in England (between 1174-1179); and again in Normandy at Valognes, Cherbourg, and Bonneville-sur-Touques (1180 & 1182).
In January 1164 Humphrey was one of the barons summoned to the Council of Clarendon where the constitutions were drawn up. In April 1173 when Prince Henry rebelled against his father, King Henry II, Humphrey stood by the king. With Richard de Lucy he invaded Scotland in an attack against King William the Lion who supported Prince Henry and the destruction of the bishop's palace at Durham. Humphrey and company burned Berwick and penetrated deeply into Scotland. But when they learned of the landing of Robert de Beaumont (earl of Leicester and friend of Prince Henry) in Suffolk (29 Sept 1173), they made a truce with William the Lion and marched against Beaumont. Humphrey battled with the help of the peasants and was taken prisoner with his wife at Fornham St. Geneviere near Bury St. Edmond (Suffolk) on 16 October 1173. The prisoners were taken to Falaise castle. The 1st of December 1174/5 in Falaise, Humphrey witnessed a peace accord between Henry II and William the Lion recognizing the sovereigncy of England over Scotland. Humphrey's fortune considerably increased with the death of his father- in-law, Milo of Gloucester, who without male heirs left a third of his wealth to each daughter. Humphrey also inherited the position of constable of England that was held by his father-in-law. In 1166 Humphrey inherited 3 1/2 parts of a knight's fees (rent) from his grandfather's provinces and 9 1/2 parts "de novo." His wife received 17 parts from Milo's provinces and 3 3/4 parts of her brothers' land. He kept in Normandy a part of the inheritance from Humphrey I, particulary land at Carentan and Pont D'Ouve. A document confirmed the gifts of his ancestors and the men of the Bohon priory.
Among the witnesses of this act were Enjuger de Bohon, Robert of Bohon priory, duchess Margaret, and Henry de Bohon. A letter from Humphrey de Bohon to the men of Normandy and England stated that Humphrey and his son gave to the Blanchelande Abbey the title of Moulin de Biard with Pont D'Ouve. In 1181 with Alexander de Bohon he witnessed the foundation of Barbery Abbey. Across the Channel Humphrey founded the priory of Monkton Farley (Wiltshire) with his wife, supported by the Lewes Abbey. Near the beautiful forests and streams in England, his rich endowment provided them with a large yearly income. Among the benefactors associated with this
foundation are Mathilda de Bohon (his mother), Ildebert de Catz (Chaz), Robert de Carentan, and his vassals; among the witnesses were William de Beuzeville and Humphrey de St. Vigor. Humphrey died 6 April 1187. He was buried at the Lanthony Abbey (Gloucestershire) founded by his father-in-law.
He had a son, Humphrey IV, and a daughter Margaret, first wife of Waleran, earl of Warwick.

In 1840 in Cayuga Co, Grover S. Stoyell was in Locke Tp, with a household of 1 male and 2 females under 5, 1 male and 1 female 20-29, and 1 male 30-39.

The 1850 census of Moravia, Cayuga Co, NY had Grover S. Stoyell aged 45, a farmer with $1520. His wife Deborah was 38, and the children were listed as Amos 14, Lois 12, Charles 8, Ann 10, Jennette 6 and Ellen 4.

In 1840 in Summerhill, Crawford Co, Pa,, Ransaler Strong had 1 male under 5, and the parents were in their 20s.

Ransaler Strong was in Jefferson Tp, Ashtabula Co, Ohio in 1850. He was a farmer aged 38, with $1600 in real estate. His wife Catharine was 39, and they had Horace 13, born in NY, George 9 and Rowena 8, born in Pa, and Martha J. 6, born in Ohio.

In 1850 Charles P. Rumsey was a hotel keeper in Chester, Orange Co., NY. He was 26, his wife Mary was 22, and with them were Ann Degraw, 14 years old, and Oliver Rumsey. It is not known who Ann is, though she may be related to the Degraws which are listed with his brother William E. Rumsey in the 1860 census.

In the 1855 state census, Charles P. Rumsey was in the 3rd Election District of Warwick, having lived there 25 years (?). He was 31, his wife Mary was 26, a resident of Warwick for 4 years, as were her first two children: Oliver, 6, and Charles H., 4, followed by Royal who was 2 years old. At this time Charles was a farmer. His framed house was valued at $100.

In the 1859 will of his father, Royal S. Rumsey, Oliver and Charles Rumsey, two sons of Charles P., were to receive $150 each, the interest to be paid to their father during his lifetime. Charles P. Rumsey was of Erin, Chemung Co., NY at the time of probate of his father's will on 19 Sep 1859, though he doesn't show up there in the 1860 census. When the wills of his two unmarried sisters, Annie E. and Phebe V. Rumsey were probated in 1878 and 1879, he was living in Maryville, Nodaway Co., MO.

Charles P. Rumsey is in Paterson, Passaic Co., NJ in the 1860 census, and now doing farming at age 36. Mary was 31, and living with them are their four sons, Oliver E., 11, Chas. H., 8, Fred, 4 and Irving, 2.

In Orange Co. deeds, on 11 Mar 1861, Mary E. Rumsey of Paterson, NJ, and her husband Charles Phineus Rumsey, sold to Charles and Ebenezer Seely of New York city, land in Sugar Loaf Village, Chester Township. This may have been the property in Sugar Loaf Village which had been deeded to Mary E. Rumsey of Warwick by Martin and Caroline Litchult of Chester.

In 1870, Charles was 47, still farming, and had moved to Fayette Co., IA. Mary was now 42 and living with them were Oliver, 21, Fred, 13, Irvin, 11 and their two daughters Mary, 7, and Bertha, 4. Grace does not appear on the 1870 census, so Mary must have been pregnant with her at the time it was taken (6 Jul 1870).

He was found in Polk Township, Nodaway Co., MO in the 1880 census, in that section which was "east of K.C. RR." C.P. Rumsey was a farmer, age 56, Mary A. was 52 and with them were C.H., 29, and Fred, 23, both farming and both born in NY, and daughters Mary E., 16, Bertha, 14, and Grace, 9, all born in IA.

From the above information, it appears that Charles P. Rumsey was living in Chester in 1850, but moved across the town line into Warwick the following year. In 1859 he was in Erin, Chemung Co., but in 1860 was in Patterson, NJ. By 1863 he had moved to IA, and between 1870 and 1878 went to Maryville, Nodaway Co., MO.

In 1850 in Summerhill, Crawford Co, Pa, Henry Dimon was 49, a farmer with $1200 in real estate. His wife Jane was 48, and their son Wm. was 18.

1132

In 1850 William E. Rumsey, 26, was living in Chester, Orange Co., NY with his wife Amada, 19. William was farming, and had a 20 year old black labourer named Morris.

In Dr. Shelford's notes on this family, he gave the marriage of William Rumsey and Amanda Tuthill, the only child named being a son Fairfield. Mr Tuttle, Associate Professor of Economics, Ohio State University, said there had been a daughter Susan born about 1849, before Fairfield, but she did not appear on any census records with William. In the 1880 census there was a daughter Susie B. born about 1871, 20 years after Fairfield. This is quite possible, and perhaps was fatal to the mother.

Rumsey, William E. (I5102)

In 1860 Merrill emigrated with his family to Old Tittsville, in the southern part of Nodaway Co., MO, where he engaged in mercantile business, but in 1861 when the Civil War broke out, being a Union man he moved in haste; in fact, his house was burned the night after by the Rebels. He went to Taylor Co., IA where he was for several years postmaster at Old Gravity. He also bought and shipped stock at this time. While living in Iowa and driving a herd of cattle to a railway station he was impressed into the Union Army, but hired a substitude for $800, who served through the remainder of the War. At the conclusion of the War, he moved to Xenia, Nodaway Co., MO, where he purchased sixty acres of land adjoining the town, and lived there until his death. At his death he owned about 800 acres of land in that locality.
