| 1151 | In 1944, at the time of his father's death, Charles was serving as a Private in the Army Medical Corps out of Camp Gruber, Oklahoma. | Paynter, Charles Raymond (I5288)

| 1154 | In his records, Rev. Silas Constant wrote, just before the marriage of Moses Rumsey to Lydia Ann Miller, "Rode to William Millers." (Roebling, Emily Warren, ed - Journal of The Reverend Silas Constant (1903), p.48) Perhaps William Miller was father of the bride. Moses Rumsey served as Minute Man in Col. John Hathorn's 4th Regiment, New York Militia, during the Revolution. (Roberts: New York in the Revolution, p.166; DAR Lineage Books 12:98; 19:38; 35:129,293). He has not been found in the 1790 census. His brother James Rumsey went to live with Moses in Aurora, Cayuga Co, in 1800 and stayed for five or six years. Deeds in Cayuga Co, or in Onondaga Co from which Cayuga was formed in 1799, have not been checked to determine how soon after the end of the war Moses left Orange Co. It was said to have been 1780, but the war was still going on then. In the 1800 census of Scipio, Cayuga Co, Moses Rumsey's household consisted of 2 males under 10, 1 male 16-25, 1 female 26-44, and 1 male 45 or over. Thus all his daughters were missing, and there was an extra male too young to be his brother James. He was in Scipio again in the 1810 census, having 2 boys and 3 girls under 10 (John H. & ? , Phebe Ann, Jane & ? ), 1 boy and 2 girls 10-15 (Isaac, Mary, Elizabeth), 1 male 16-25 (Moses), 1 female 26-44 (2nd wife Cynthia), and Moses was 45 or over. The extra boy and girl under 10 might be children of Cynthia by her previous marriage. Moses Rumsey of Scipio, Cayuga Co, wrote his will 29 Jul 1816, and Petition for Probate was dated 30 Sep 1816. He left two thirds of his farm to his son Isaac, and the remaining third to his other two sons, Moses and John. It was Isaac's duty to bring up the children. He made bequests to his daughters Elizabeth and Polley, and to his younger daughters Jane, Phebe Ann, Lucey and Marabah when they reached the aged of 21. Witnesses were David Thomas and Moses Kump. Administration was granted to Moses Rumsey. (PR Wills B1:48) The final accounting was not made until 17 March 1836. Moses Rumsey, the Administrator, stated that he had built a house on that part of his father's farm which had been set off to him; that Isaac Rumsey was a resident of Newfield, Tompkins Co, NY; John was also of Newfield; Elizabeth Rumsey lived in Seneca Co; Polly was married, but the name of her husband was unknown to Moses, [which seems unlikely since she married her first cousin and brother of her sister's husband]; Jane Gilmore's residence was Ohio; Phebe Ann, wife of Joseph Patterson was of Ovid, Seneca Co; Nancy, wife of Silas "Dawson", was of Newfield; Lucy, wife of James Ford, lived in Ohio; and Marabah (no married name). (PR Box 4) There was no mention of widow Cynthia in either the will or the final accounting. The only place her name appeared in the proceedings was her signature on the Bond, with those of Moses and Isaac Rumsey and Benjamin Almy. Perhaps she and Moses had made a prenuptual agreement, since she undoubtedly had property from her former husband. "Syntha" Rumsey was in the 1820 census of Scipio, Cayuga Co. Her household had 3 females under 10 (Marabah, Lucy, Nancy), 1 female 10-15 (Phebe), 1 male 16-18 (John) and another 16-25 (Isaac), 1 female 16-25 (Jane), 1 female 26-44, and 1 male 45 or over. In 1836, the year the 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 (LR 4:52,83). And in 1843 Cynthia Rumsey of Veteran, widow, sold land on 22 March to Wessel Vernooy and others (LR 27:197). The contents of these deeds have not been checked. | Rumsey, Moses (I4945)

| 1159 | In Selkreg's book on Tompkins County (Landmarks of Tompkins County, New York by John H. Selkreg, 1894; D. Mason & Co., Publisher), Aaron is mentioned on page 283: "Aaron and John Cass went to Canada." So perhaps he moved from California after 1860 with his brother John to Canada. Further research is required to substantiate this. | Cass, Aaron (I6323)

| 1160 | In the 1820 census of Hillsdale Tp, Columbia Co, NY, Joel Curtis was over 45, his wife was under 45, and in the family were 2 daughters under 10 to fit the age of Julia. Sarah was already married so was not included, if of the same family. | Curtis, Julia Ann Caroline (I5447)

| 1161 | In the 1820 census of Monroe, Elizabeth Rumsey had 1 female under 10, 1 male 10-15, 1 male 16-18 and 1 male 19-25, and she was over 45. In 1830 she was alone in Monroe, aged 60-69. In 1840 she was undoubtedly the older woman in her 70s, in Warwick with her son Royal S. Rumsey. For in 1850 she was "79" in Chester with Royal S. Rumsey, and again with him in Chester in 1855 when she was 85. Mrs. C. Sebring Howell of Watkins Glen (#112-8-ii), in 1981 reported that she had "a picture of Elizabeth Earl when she was quite old. On the back - S.M. Towle photographer, Warwick, Orange Co, NY, negatives preserved. She has on a white bonnet and fancy shoulder shawl. Mary wife of Benjamin [Earle] I read once was also [an] Earl.

The senior John White was a farmer and teamster, and for many years drove a team from Baltimore tho Pittsburgh and Wheeling, West Virginia, making regular trips. The last two years of his life were spent in Peoria County, Illinois, where he died at the age of 75 years. His wife's death occurred in West Virginia, six years before his. They were Presbyterians in faith. Williamm White, paternal grandfather of our subject, was a native of Virginia who moved to Kentucky in the early history of that state. He had a small family. The maternal grandfather of our subject was William Carper. He was of Dutch decent and the father of two sons and three daughters and died in his native state, Virginia, when past middle life. When John White, the direct subject of this review was ten years old his parents removed with their family from the eastern part of Virgnia to what is now known as West Virginia, where he lived until 1850. That year he came to Illinois making this journey by way of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers and landing at lLacon, Illinois. He first located nine miles east of Lacon, where he rented land for six years. The next four years he rented land in Osage Township, LaSalle County, and following that were five years on a rented farm in Goveland Township. In the spring of 1866 he bought his present home farm, 160 acres in Groveland Township, which he has since occupied, carrying on general farming operations. In 1839 Mr. White married Miss Mary Ann Whetzel, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Darnell) Whetzel, whose life was happily blended with his from that time until 1883 when she died at the age of 63 years. She was a consistent member of the Christian Church as also is Mr. White. To them were born 11 children, three sons and eight daughters, all of whom reached adult age except two who died in infancy, and the grandchildren of this worthy sire now number 40, and the great grandchildren 20. Off Mr. White's charen we record that Rachel, the widow of Egbert Dresser, has six children, Chauncy Orris, Fred, Elmer, Charles, and Cora; Margaretta, the wife of George Studivian lives in Compton, Newton County, Arkansas and their six children are Sylvester, Sene, John, Lucinda, Ellis and Grant; Elizabeth, the wife of Henry Bane of Eurreka, Kansas is the mother of six children, Ida, Alvin, mary, Nellie, John and Frank; Jane, wife of James Bane of dana, Ill, has ten children, Austin, Anna, Arthur, Herbert, Charles, Henrietta, Edward, Roy, and Clinton and Gilbert; Mary Ann, wife of Daniel Winans of Dana, Illinois, has three children living, Cassie, Dial, and Curtis; James who married Carrie Austin and has one child, Henry; Richard, who married Julia Winans, has eight children, ernest, chloe, Ethel, Pearl, Harvey, and Leo, Lila and Leala (triplets); and Frank, who married Dora ohe, and has one child, roy. Politically Mr White is a Democrat. According to military record, John White, Jr. mustered on the 25 Aug to November 24th, 1814, for a total term of service of 23 days.

| 1196 | Isaac Rumsey was in the 1800 census of Montgomery, Orange Co, NY. He and his wife were between 26 and 44, and had 1 boy and 1 girl under 10. In 1810 Isaac Rumsey was in Scipio, Cayuga Co, NY. His household held 2 males and 3 females under 10, 1 male and 1 female 10-15, his wife was still under 45, but he was over 45. He joined his brother James in Enfield, Tompkins Co, in 1817, (the year Tompkins Co was formed), where he built the first grist mill at Enfield Falls (LTC). In 1820 he was enumerated in Ulysses Tp (that part which later became Enfield), Tompkins Co, NY. He and his wife, both over 45, had 1 female under 10, 1 male and 2 females 10-15, 2 males 19-25 and 1 female 16-25. Isaac Rumsey and his wife Jane of Enfield sold 87 acres in Section 74 of Enfield to Joshua Nicholson in 1825 (LR I:468). Isaac died before the 1830 census. The probate of Isaac Rumsey of Enfield is the first Rumsey estate indexed in the surogate records of Tompkins Co. His will was dated 24 Aug 1829, and probated 27 Nov 1829. His wife Jane was to have the use of his new frame house, among other things. His second son Isaac N. Rumsey ["N" for phonetic Knapp] land with bounds including the NE corner of Great lot Number 76, high bridge Brook near five mile Creek, land owned by Charles Woodward. To his youngest son Oliver he gave an adjoining parcel. His oldest son Jacob was to have $600 to be paid by Isaac in 6 annual payments. He gave $150, to be paid by Isaac and Oliver at various times, to his daughters Eliza Doolittle, Charlotte Rumsey (plus a good milch cow), Mary Ann Townsend, Jane Arrilla Smith. His daughter Maritta Rumsey was to have $200 and the equivalent of what was given to her sisters at their marriage. "I also Will and devise to my son Isaac N. Rumsey the privilege of taking the water from any parts of the five mile creek in the time of a drouth on the premises hereinbefore devised to my son Oliver Rumsey for the use of the Grist Mill and for no other use on this express condition that he is not to take so great a share of water out of said Creek as to injure any machinery that may be erected hereon, to hold said privilege while the said Isaac Rumsey shall own said Grist Mill and no longer." He named as executors his wife Jane Rumsey, Squire J. Nobles (#96), James Rumsey Jr, and Gilbert J. Ogden. The witnesses were George W. Shepherd, Ira Winchel and Jesse H. Brown, (PR B:132) (Also: Gertrude A. Barber - Abstracts of Wills of Tompkins Co, NY (1941),p.31.) In the 1830 census of Enfield, his widow Jane was listed as "Mrs Rumsey". She was in her 60s, and with her were 1 male and 2 females in their 20s. These might be Jane Arilla and her husband Bartemus Smith, who have not been found in the 1830 census, and Maritta, the only child not yet married. On 23 Nov 1830, Oliver Rumsey of Enfield sold to Ashbel and Jerad Treman of Hector, the water rights out of Five Mile Creek. Mentioned in the deed was the grist mill now owned by Jacob Rumsey which had been devised by Isaac Rumsey deceased (LR S:394, rec 1831). Recorded the same year though not checked for date of the transaction, Jacob and Sally Rumsey conveyed to Jared Treman 25 acres in Section 76 (LR S:184). In 1835 Jane Rumsey was listed next to her son Oliver in Enfield, and had only one unmarried female (Maritta) with her who was over 16. She had no land under cultivation, but did have two cows and two sheep. In 1840 Jane Rumsey was between 60 and 69 years old, listed next to her son Isaac N. Rumsey in Newfield. With her was 1 female 30-39, possibly her daughter Mary Ann Townsend who was perhaps divorced by then from her unidentified husband. (Though only two persons were marked in the columns, the census gave a total of three in the family, one being engaged in agriculture. Was there actually someone else in the household?) Jane has not been found in the 1850 census, so may have died before then. | Rumsey, Isaac (I5048)
