401 A Samuel Davis appears in the 1790 census of New Cornwall, Orange Co, NY. The household had 1 male over 16, 3 males under 16, and 1 female.

In Blooming Grove, Orange Co, in 1800, a Samuel Davis had 3 females under 10, 2 males 10-15, 1 female 26-44, and 1 male 45 or over.

In 1810, Samuel Davis of Blooming Grove had 1 male and 1 female 10-15, 2 males and 2 females 16-25, 1 male and 1 female 45 and over. (The above birth date for Ruth would make her 46 years old in 1810.)

In 1820 there were two Samuel Davis households in Blooming Grove. The older one had 1 male 16-18 and 1 male 18-25, 1 female 16-25, and the parents both over 45. The younger one, possibly a son, had 1 male and 3 females under 10, 1 male and 1 female 26-44.

In 1830 there were two Samuel Davises listed in Minisink, Orange Co, but the older couple were only in their 40s. There was none indexed in Blooming Grove that year.

There is no proof that any of these were the husband of Ruth Rumsey. Ruth's brother, David Rumsey of Warwick, Orange Co (#20), in 1829 named his "nephew Isaac Davis" as executor of his will. This may be a son of Ruth (Rumsey) Davis. 		Davis, Samuel (I5051)
 
402 After first listing the known and possible marriages of Rose Buck to John Nicholas, Gilbert O'Gire, --- Trowe, Tuttle, --- Brady and Krabbenhoft, she wrote:
"The only one I question is Brady. I am not sure if there was a marriage or a
name change. There is a marriage license for John Nicholas, Tuttle and
Krabbenhoft [see xeroxes she enclosed]. Gilbert O'Gire marriage is listed in
the book in Mason City, but the license book is gone. They lost some of the
older books in a fire. That is a reason I cannot get a copy of John Nicholas'
death certificate and get an accurate date on that. The reason I have listed a
Troner-Trowe or whatever it is [and she asked for opinions on interpretation of
that name], is because of the marriage certificate to my grandfather. If you
notice her last name was that. Apparently, when John died people wanted to
take the girls away from her. My Dad said that she changed her name a lot,
whether married or not, no one really knows. There also was a child that was
born before Dad, but died. That was with Tuttle.
I also sent a copy of my Dad's birth certificate. When we received it, we
noticed his last name had been tampered with. It looks like it had been taken
off and then put back on. Then on the bottom it has corrected 3-15-42. That
is the year my Dad changed his name to Nichols. I suppose when he had his name
legally changed someone changed the certificate and then realized that they
could not do that. When Tuttle left, his mother made him use Nicholas, when he
was about 18 he changed it to Nichols, because in school the kids called him
Nichol ass and he did not want his kids to go through that. He never did
anything legally until 1942. He and my mother had been married for 2 years.
She did not even know that his name was not Nichols."

Miss Rose Buck and Mr. John Nicholas were married 1 Jan 1890, by J.B.Albrook, M.E. Minister. Rosa M. Trowe and V.R. Tuttle were married by John G. Van Ness [no title such as min. or JP]. Vina Nicholas and Richard H. Krabbenhoft were married 3 Oct 1925 by ? [& no title], witnessed by Lila L. Davenport and Lillian L. Davenport of no connection known to me, JR.

The birth certificate for Byron Leroy Tuttle reported that his mother, Rosa M. (Buck) Tuttle had had 6 "previous" children, the number "now living (in all)" being 4, (i.e. 3 Nicholas children and the current 1 Tuttle). But there was said to have been 3 more "previous children" than known or reported by JNE.

The death certificates for Rose Melvina and Richard Krabbenhoft were posted on the Internet by the Minnesota Historical Society, as reported by Al M. Fischer. 		Buck, Rose Melvina (I10548)
 
403 Andrew Rumsey, son of Timothy, was 6 years old and born in Ohio, in the 1850 census of Cass Tp, Fulton Co, Ill.

In 1870, Andrew Rumsey "Jr", born in Ohio, was 27 in Jackson Tp (P.O. Corydon), Wayne Co, Iowa. The age and birthplace are compatible with the son of Timothy, the "Jr" should perhaps be just the initial J. as for his son in 1880. He was a farmer with $510 in personal property only. His wife Eunice was 25, also born in Ohio, their son John was 5, born in Illinois, and their daughter Emma was 4 months old, born in February in Iowa. (John might be named for Andrew's Rumsey grandfather.)

Widow Eunice Rumsey was the head of household in the 1880 census of White City, Rolling Prairie Tp, Morris Co, Kans. She was 35 and born in Ohio, her son John aged 14 was born in Illinois, identifying them as belonging to Andrew Rumsey of 1870 in Iowa. Emma was missing and probably had died. There was a daughter Ivy May who was 8, and a son Andrew J. 6, both born in Iowa, followed by Frona 1 year old, born in Kansas. Perhaps her full name was Saphrona, for Andrew's Rumsey grandmother. Eunice's parents were born in Pennsylvania and Ohio, which was dittoed for the rest of the family in error.

Eunice was called Eula Rumsey aged 50, widow, in 1900 in Osawatamie City, Miami Co, Kans, and had a daughter Byrdie who was 18. She was credited with only the 1 child, probably because she had only one with her. Andrew was also in Osawatamie City, and John T. was in Council Grove City, Morris Co, Kans, where he was a railroad conductor. (See their pages)

In 1910, Unice M. Rumsey was in the 3rd Ward of Saline City, Saline Co, Kans, living at 136 South Seventh. She was 62, and this time had borne 8 children, with only 3 living. She was mother of widow Byrde U. [for Unice/ Eunice?] Parker who headed the household of two. Byrde was 29, employed as a milliner, and had no children. Eunice's mother was born in Ohio in all three enumerations 1880-1910. In 1880 her father was born in Pennsylvania, but in 1900 and 1910 his birthplace was New York.

If Byrde was born in June 1880, instead of 1881 as the 1900 census had it, she could have been a posthumous daughter of Andrew, and he could have died between October 1879 and June 1880. 		Rumsey, Andrew (I10088)
 
404 Charlie and Dollie were Seventh Day Adventists. Charlie was a painter-paper-hanger; he died at daughter Nora's home. (AMF, who supplied all above data obtained from various members of family.)

Charles and Dollie Quine were in the 1910 census of Platte City, Charles Mix Co, SD, living on 4th Street West, in the 3rd Ward. He was a painter aged 46, Dollie was 45, and they had been married 24 years Three of Dollie's 4 children were living, but only her son Laverne was with them, at age 13.

Dollie Quine was of Platte, SD, when her mother died in 1919.

Lawrence Horner was a Northwest Airlines Captain for 15 years. In 1949 he flew out of Portland, OR, but the family lived in Vancouver, WA. He later flew out of Seattle, but had to give up flying when he developed diabetes.

Shirley (Quine) Homer supplied AMF and me with most of the above data about the Quine family. She said that each of her parents had died at her home, and were buried beside each other. Shirley is (in 1992) confined to a wheel chair as a result of polio in 1946. She said her Quine grandparents were Seventh Day Adventists. 		Quine, Charles Thomas (I10541)
 
405 Cornelius O. Rumsey witnessed a deed of 1796 in Orange Co, NY, wherein Elizabeth Rumsey and Thomas Osborn were listed among the heirs of Cornelius Osborn dec'd of Fishkill, Dutchess Co, NY. Elizabeth apparently named her son for her father, and her grandson, Thomas Osborne Rumsey, was probably named for her brother.

On 25 Aug 1827, Cornelius and Hannah Rumsey of Newburgh sold to David Munn of Marlborough, Ulster Co, land on the Hudson River in the town of Newburgh, Orange Co, which he had purchased 8 March 1809 (two months after his marriage) from John C. Carman and his wife. (See #39.) (LR FF:310)

Cornelius Rumsey was in Newburgh in the 1810 census of Orange Co, NY. There were 2 boys and 1 girl under 10, the mother who was 16-25, and Cornelius who was 26-44. (There were no boys in the family born before December 1810, so those under 10 are unidentified.) He was listed next to several Carman
families, headed by Cornelius (possibly his brother-in-law), John C., James, and John Jr.

In 1815, Cornelius Rumsey was in the Militia of Orange Co, 14th Regiment. (Military Minutes of the Council of Appointment of the State of New York - Vol.1:1547)

The family was in Newburgh in the 1820 census. There were 3 boys and 1 girl under 10, 1 boy and 1 girl 10-15, and the parents who were 26-44.

In 1830 Cornelius Rumsey of Newburgh was in his 50s, his wife in her 40s, and they had 1 male and 1 female under 5, 2 males 5-9, 2 males 10-14, 2 males and 1 female 15-19, and 1 female 20-29.

Recorded in 1829 was an Orange Co deed from Alexander and Jean Stark of Newburgh to Cornelius O. Rumsey. Recorded in 1831, Cornelius Carman and his wife of Newburgh, and Alexr Stark and his wife of Newburgh, sold to Cornelius O. Rumsey. That same year, Cornelius O. Rumsey and his wife Hannah of Newburgh sold to Silas D. Gardner. (LR 37:222; 41:222, 224, 226). (See #39,40)

In the same year of 1831, Cornelius O. Rumsey purchased land in Ogden and Chili townships, Monroe Co, from Isaac Voorheis (LR 22:33). Other Monroe Co deeds, recorded in 1850 and 1849, but not checked for date and details of transaction, show Cornelius O. Rumsey and his wife Hannah conveyed to Mary Ann
Pettengill "et al", Lot 22 in the town of Ogden (shd this be Lot 212?); and Cornelius O., Hannah, John W., Mary A., Thomas O. and Matilda, all conveyed Lot 212 in Ogden to Alexander S. Rumsey (LR 81;539; 90:537).

In 1840 C. Rumsey was enumerated in Ogden, Monroe Co, NY. The family consisted of 1 male 10-14, 2 males and 1 female 15-19, 1 female 30-39, 1 female 50-59 and 1 male 60-69. Three in the household were engaged in agriculture.

Cornelius Rumsey of Ogden wrote his will 27 June 1849, the day he died. He left to his wife Hannah the west part of Lot 212, consisting of 54 acres, and to his son Alexander the home farm in the towns of Chili and Ogden, consisting of 105 acres, and Lot 211 in the town of Ogden containing 22 acres. Alexander was also to have all the stock and tools on the farm. However, when he took possession of the farm he was to pay to Catharine $2000, and to allow Catharine and her mother to live in "so much of the house as they shall need for their convenience." Alexander was also to pay $500 to his brother Samuel Rumsey, and $100 to granddaughter Elizabeth Rumsey [daughter of James]. At the death of their mother, sons Thomas O. and John W. Rumsey were to have the 54 acres of Lot 212: John was to have one half, and Thomas was to pay his sister Mary Ann Pettengill $400 from his share. He named as executors Alexander Rumsey and Moses Pettengill, and the will was witnessed by Robert Fulton and John Lynde of Chili. (PR Wills 4:287)

Petition for Probate was entered 15 July 1849 by the two executors. The list of heirs consisted of Hannah Rumsey, widow, Catherine Rumsey, Mary Ann Pettengill wife of Moses Pettengill, Alexander Rumsey, all of full age and residents of Ogden; John Rumsey of New York City; Sarah, Hellen and Elizabeth Rumsey, children of James Rumsey deceased, all infants under the age of 14 residing in Ogden, Leonard Adams being their special guardian; and Thomas Rumsey residing in Westchester Co, NY.

The petition for final settlement, was dated 10 July 1851. Hannah, Catharine and Samuel were still in Ogden; Mary Ann Pettengill was "since dec'd", Moses Pettengill of Ogden, and Hannah and Ann Pettengill minors under 14 were residing in Ogden; Sarah, Hellen and Elizabeth Rumsey were of Ogden; Margaret, Hannah Maria, Emma, Matilda and Thomas Rumsey, all minors under 14, were of New Rochelle, Westchester Co, NY. (These last were children of Thomas O. Rumsey who had died in 1850.) Leonard Adams was guardian for these, as well as for James Rumsey's children as above. Final Settlement was made 8 Sep 1851. (PR (File 1849:66)

In the 1850 census of Ogden, Monroe Co, taken 22 October, Alexander Rumsey headed the household at age 22, owning $8000 in real estate. With him were his mother Hannah aged 62, and his sister Catherine aged 41. They also had two Irish laborers, and an English domestic servant. A second listing was made 24
October, in which Hannah headed the household at the age of 69. (Her age in the previous listing is closer to her age on her gravestone.) With her were Catherine 41 and Alexander 22, and no empoyees. No real estate was shown for any of them.

Alexander was married before the state census of 1855 was taken, when he still had with him his mother Hannah aged 68, born in Orange Co, as was his sister Catharine aged 45. Also in Ogden were Samuel and Martha Rumsey, the widow Amy Rumsey, and Moses Pettingell with a second wife.

(See also the estates of Alexander and Samuel Rumsey.)

Catherine Rumsey was "63" in the June 1870 census, with Moses Pettengill and his second wife E.A.H., in Niles City, Berrien Co, Mich. 		Rumsey, Cornelius Osborn (I5314)
 
406 Dora B. Rumsey, daughter of Geo. Hummer and Jane Kirkeff, was 28 and a resident of Enfield Falls when she married Frederick Harris of Van Etten in 1903. It is not known if she was actually married to Raymond Lanning. Recorded in Enfield as of 6 Oct 1908 is the birth of Edna Lanning to Dora Rumsey 34, born NJ, and Raymond Lanning 19, a farmer born in Enfield (VR 1:385a). Ray S. Lanning was aged 3 in the 1892 census of the 1st Election District of Enfield, with Monroe J. and Eliza R. Lanning. In the 1900 census of Enfield, Ray S. was 9 years old, with James M. and Eliza R. Lanning.

The October 1912 marriage of widow Dora B. Rumsey to James F. Goff was called her third, having been divorced (annulled from Harris) in May 1912 at Canastota, Madison Co., NY. This was James F. Goff's first marriage, and both were residents of Enfield Falls. He was 29 years old, born in Kansas. There was a James F. Goff, born in Kansas, who was 17 years old in the 1900 census of Ithaca's 4th Ward. He was working as a dish washer in Sage College, where Lula Rumsey (#114-14) was a stenographer. 		Hummer, Dora B. (I9695)
 
407 Frank W. Rumsey (#60-72, b 1884) gave the name of his great grandmother as Lorinda, saying he "remembered her quite well." He reported Mrs. Arnold's copy of her gravestone as Lorinda Shook Rumsey, though it was printed by the Western Reserve Historical Society as Lorana Shook Rumsey. Most census records are closer to "Loranna." The obituary of her son Loren had the name as "Lowena."

George Rumsey was in the 1830 census of Jerusalem, Yates Co, NY, in his 20s as was his wife, and they had one son under 5.

In 1840 they were in Clarksford Tp (now appears to be Clarksfield Tp), Huron Co, Ohio, which is directly north of New London Tp. The household consisted of 1 male and 1 female under 5 (John, Lodema), 1 of each 5-9 (should be 2 females: Catharine, Mary), 1 of each 10-14 (Loren, ? ), 1 of each 15-19 (bro Elisha?, ? ), his wife 30-39, and he 40-49.

The 1850 census listed George Rumsey in New London Tp, Huron Co, at the age of 49, a farmer but not a land owner. Loranna was 43, born in Conn, and could not read or write. With them were Mary 19, Catharine 16, Lodema 14, all b NY, and John 11, b Ohio. The family left New York in the spring of 1837 according to Loren's obituary. Loren was 21, working for Augustus and Clarissa Barret in Clarksfield as a farmer. Not far from George in New London were his cousins John Rumsey and John Hoffstatter (#61-1,3), (a son of the latter was to marry Lodema), and his sister Watey Bristol (#60-7) with their mother Salomy Rumsey. Frank W. Rumsey wrote that: "Waity Bristol and Geo. P. Rumsey...were brother and sister. I well remember my Grandfather L. W. Rumsey always said that Waity Rumsey Bristol was his real aunt."

In 1860 in New London, George was 59, with $1500 in real estate and $400 in personal property. His wife Lorania was 53, John was a farm laborer aged 21, and they had an Irish farm laborer with his English wife.

In 1870 George and Lorannie were alone, George aged 70 with no occupation, and Lorannie 63. There was no property valuation for him.

The death notice for George Rumsey, who died in Norwalk, March 8, 1873 in the 73rd year of his age, appeared in Firelands Pioneer (O.S.Vol.11 (1874), p.112). Frank Rumsey said the widow was living with her daughter, Catharine Chandler, when she died in 1890. In 1880 she was 73, with Catherine and I. H. Chandler in Norwalk Tp. 		Rumsey, George P. (I5903)
 
408 From among Victor E. Shelford's "Rumsey" correspondence, I took very rough notes of a Rumsey bible record sent by a Tuttle. It contained the following information, though not in the form in which it was presented.

Phineas Rumsey born Nov 14 1769 died June 22 1816
married - when he was aged 32yrs 2mos 22ds, and she 17yrs 10mos 2ds
Margarat [sic] Hawkins Feb 6 1802
born Apr 4 1784 died May 15 1820

Children:
Mary born Sept. 29, 1803
Julia born July 23, 1805
Phineas born July 25, 1807
Sarah born Aug. 28, 1809
Phebe born Dec. 25, 1811 - - - - died May 15 1816
Elizabeth born Oct. 11, 1813 - - died July 25, 1817
William born Nov. 11, 1816

The cemetery in the East Division of Goshen where the family is buried, is on the old Phineas Rumsey farm which. When I copied the stones in 1961 it belonged to Mr. and Mrs. Richard Wallace.

In the 1810 census of Goshen, Phinehas Rumsey's household contained 1 male and 3 females under 10 (the 1st 4 children), 1 male and 1 female 10-15, 1 female 16-25 (his wife), and 2 males 26-44, one of whom was Phineas, the other possibly his youngest brother Peter who was 29 and single.

On 19 Jun 1812 Margaret, "wid" (per publ.ed., should be wife) of "Phins." Rumsey, was admitted to the Goshen Presbyterian Church, "(never before in communion)". On 10 Jan 1807 there was a marriage between "Zadock servant of William Hudson and Amy servant of Phinehas Rumsey." (GPC p.55,24)

Administration on the estate of Phineas Rumsey of Goshen, who died intestate, was granted 8 July 1816 to his widow Margaret, his brother-in-law William Horton (#48), and John B. Horton a friend of the deceased. (PR Admn E:40)

The will of Margaret Rumsey of Goshen was dated 15 May 1820 and probated two weeks later on 29 May. She left "all estate of my own right" and property to her son "William Horton" [i.e. William Hawkins Rumsey]. She named as executors William Horton and David R. Arnell, and did "Appoint said son [sic] William Horton guardian of my said son William." Witnesses were Nathan Cooley, Ila Watkins and Jemimah Lamoreaux. (PR Wills F:338, orig.doct.not seen)

The will of David Hawkins, dated 18 July 1821 and probated 15 Aug 1825 in Orange Co, mentioned his wife Sarah and, among his children and grandchildren, the (unnamed) children of his daughter Margaret Rumsey now deceased. John B. Horton and William Horton were to be his executors. (PR Wills H:24)

On 27 Aug 1828, Phineas Rumsey [Jr] was appointed guardian to William and Sarah Rumsey, minor children of Phineas Rumsey of Goshen dec'd, since they came into an estate at the death of their father, and of their grandfather David Hawkins. William Rumsey became 11 years old on 11 Nov 1827, and Sarah became 19 on 28 Aug 1828. (PR Guardianship Letters B:37,38)

When Peter4 Rumsey died in 1843, the estate listed the children of his deceased brother Phineas as: Phineas Rumsey of Goshen, William H. Rumsey of Wallkill, Julia wife of George M. Newman of Wallkill, and Mary wife of Alexander H. Fink of Elmira. (PR Letters Test. A:260)

William5 Rumsey, son of Phineas, was probably the one who was of Goshen when he sold land to B. R. Conkling of Goshen, in a deed recorded in 1842 but not checked for date and details of transaction (LR 75:314). William H. was of Wallkill, probably with his sister Julia Newman, a year later (above).

William H. Rumsey was of Goshen when he wrote his will 12 Dec 1849, naming George M. Newman as executor, and making his sister Julia Newman his sole legatee during her lifetime. At her death the estate was to revert to William H. Newman, son of his sister Sarah. Hiram Newman (possibly a brother of George, who was 37 in the 1850 census of Goshen) was appointed guardian to William H. Newman who was a minor. The estate papers said that William H. Rumsey had died "of Bilious fever terminating in a hasty consumpton", at the house of Alexander Fink in Elmira, whose wife was his eldest sister. His only legal heirs were his brother Phineas Rumsey, sister Julia Newman, and nephew William H. Newman, all of Goshen. (Orange Co PR Wills Q:171; Letters B:313) 		Rumsey, Phineas (I5128)
 
409 Gabriel Horton was in the 1830 census of Goshen, Orange Co, NY, in his 30s. His wife was in her 20s, and with them were 3 females under 5, 1 male and 1 female 5-9, and 1 male and 1 female 10-14. He also had 2 free colored persons - 1 male 24-36, and 1 female 10-24.

In 1840 there was a Gabriel Horton in Minisink, Orange Co. The household contained 1 male under 5, 1 male 5-9, 1 female 10-14, 1 male 15-19, 1 male and 1 female 20-29, 1 male and 2 females 30-39, 1 female 40-49, and 1 female 70-79. (This does not match the family of Gabriel in 1850 below.)

In the 1843 estate of Peter4 Rumesy, Gabrial Horton was in Cayuga Co. In the 1850 census, Gabriel Horton was in Niles, Cayuga Co, NY at the age of 54. He was a farmer with $4200 in real estate. His wife Eliza was 48, and with them were Henry 26, Sarah 25, Mary 24, Caroline 20, Adelia 17, Charles 14 and Harriet 8. Because Sarah is crowded in between Henry and Mary, it may be she was Henry's wife instead of sister.

Gabriel Horton has not been found in 1860. But in Winona City, Ward 3, Winona Co, Minn, where he was buried 8 years later, Harriet Horton aged 18, was with L. C. Porter and his wife Adelia. Porter was a merchant with $1000 in real estate and another $1000 in personal property, aged 37. Adelia was 27, and they had one child named Horton who was 6 years old and born in New York. Living not far from them in a boarding house, was Charles Horton aged 24, a day laborer. 		Horton, Gabriel (I5641)
 
410 Galen Terry was in Kingston, Ulster Co, NY in the 1830 census. His family consisted of 1 male and 1 female under 5, 2 females 15-19, 2 males and 1 female 20-29, and 2 males 30-39. Eunice was probably born before 1800, so the female 20-29 would be a little too young.

In 1840, Galen Terry was found in Newburgh, Orange Co, NY, where he and his wife were both 30-39. This female matches the one in 1830, but the male matches one of those who were in their 20s, rather than those in their 30s. With them were 1 male and 2 females 10-14, and 1 female 15-19.

VCY, which gave names of the two girls above, gave no dates for Eunice or any of her family.

The Terrys have not been found in later enumerations. 		Terry, Galen (I5754)
 
411 George C. Day, 75, father of Attorney Richmond H. Day and Mrs. C. P.Ennis, both of Galesburg, died at his home in Avon, Friday night. Mr. Day, who had spent all his life in that vicinity and in his active years had been a farmer and teamster, died at 8 a. m. following a stroke of apoplexy.

He was born in the Virgil neighborhood, near Avon, May 2, 1862. His widow survives, and there are two brothers, Levi Day of Abingdon and William of Bartonville. There are also nine children, Attorney Richmond H. Day and Mrs. Joanne Ennis, of Galesburg; Edwin of Avon, Andrew of Bushnell, Mrs. Reona Lindstrum of Pittsburgh, Pa., Mrs. Florence Singleton of Avon, Mrs. Orel Moffet of El Paso, Tex., and Mrs. Alice Irons and Mrs. Bernice Irons, of Abingdon.

The body will be at the K. R. Clugsten funeral home in Avon until the time of the funeral, which will be at 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon in the Avon Methodist church. The pastor, the Rev. Robert Swaine, will officiate. Interment will be in the Virgil Cemetery. 		Day, George Calvin (I10499)
 
412 Hannah Rumsey of Blooming Grove married Selah Tucker in the Presbyterian Church in the Village of New Windsor (Historical Society of Newburg Bay and The Highlands Vol.3:16), where her brother Jonas had married a Tucker girl as his second wife, three years before. (New Windsor was still part of Ulster Co at that time.)

In the 1790 census of New Cornwall, Orange Co, Selah Tooker's household consisted of 2 males over 16, 1 male under 16, 4 females, and 1 slave. His name was among the early settlers of Cornwall, from which Blooming Grove was formed (R&C p.757-8).

In 1800 Selah Tooker was listed in Blooming Grove, next to Daniel Goldsmith (see #37). The family included 1 female under 10, 1 male 10-15, 1 female 16-25, 2 males and 1 female over 45.

In 1810 in Blooming Grove, Selah Tucker had 1 female under 10, 1 male 10-15, 1 female 16-25, and he was over 45. From this it would appear that his wife had died since the 1800 census. He was not indexed in 1820, 1830 or 1840. 		Rumsey, Hannah (I5149)
 
413 Harry Hawkin Smith said that Samuel Rumsey had a twin brother who died. I have been unable to discover any record of this, and he gave no proof. On the other hand, Hannah Smith was baptized in the Presbyterian Church at Goshen with her twin sister Priscilla.

Samuel Rumsey appeared in the 1810 census of Wallkill, Orange Co, NY, when he and his wife were both in the 26-44 age bracket. With them were 1 boy and 2 girls under 10 (Phineas, Evelina and Emily), and 1 girl 10-15 who may have been domestic help.

Samuel Rumsey died of consumption at the age of 45, according to the Goshen Presbyterian Church records. His infant child had died only a few months before of inflamation of the lungs. Consumption was the cause of death for both Phineas and Elizabeth, according to the church records.

Administration on the estate of Samuel Rumsey of Wallkill was granted 7 Oct 1818 to his widow Hannah and John Barker, his "brother-in-law." (In Hannah's estate he was called her brother-in-law. He had married her twin sister Priscilla in 1803 (GPCh p.23).) (PR Admn E:310)

In the published Goshen Presbyterian Church records, "Elizabeth" Rumsey, [i.e. Hannah] widow of Samuel Rumsey, was registered as a member on 1 Feb 1819, "never before in communion" (GPCh p.61). Elizabeth Rumsey [daughter of Samuel] was baptized adult and admitted to the church 2 Feb 1832, "(never before in communion)" (GPCh p.67,140). This was about three weeks before she died. Samuel Rumsey [Jr] was suspended 29 Oct 1831 (GPCh p.67).

In the 1820 census of Wallkill, Hannah Rumsey had a household of 2 males and 1 female under 10 (William, Samuel, Elizabeth), 1 male and 2 females 10-15 (Phineas, Evelina, Emily), 1 male 16-25 (farm laborer?), and Hannah who was 26-44. Two members were engaged in agriculture.

Administration on Hannah's estate was granted 11 March 1824, to John Barker her brother-in-law. Both were of Wallkill. In the file is a document signed by Henry Smith which reads: "I Henry Smith hereby renounce all right to administer the goods and chattels and credits of Hannah Rumsey, my deceased sister, and request you to grant administration thereof to John Barker." (PR Admn E:282).

Guardianship papers for Hannah's daughter Elizabeth show that she became 10 years of age on 21 Jan 1824, and papers for William that he became 9 years of age on 21 Feb 1824. (PR Guardianship A:35, 36)

The estate of Phineas Rumsey was probated in Orange Co 24 May 1832. He was of Goshen, but had died 22 January "last past" of consumption, at St. Augustine in the Territory of East Florida. His heirs were listed as his sisters Elizabeth Rumsey and Emily, wife of Henry Smith, and brothers Samuel and William Rumsey. Elizabeth and Emily were both deceased since his death, and William was a minor under 21. (PR File 154)

The estate of Elizabeth Rumsey was probated the same day. She had died 27 Feb "last past", in Goshen at the house of Henry Smith, her brother-in-law. The heirs in this case were brothers Samuel and William, the latter under 21, and Emily Smith wife of Henry who was since deceased. Their brother Samuel Rumsey was named administrator of both estates. (PR File 155)

When Peter4 Rumsey died in 1843, Samuel (Jr) and William, both of Goshen, were the only surviving heirs of his brother Samuel Rumsey dec'd. Nothing has been learned about William after that date.

A thorough check of land records in Orange Co has not been made. But the first deed indexed in Samuel's name was 6 July 1808, when he purchased from Charles Borland and his wife Rebecca (LR L:85, rec. 1809). 		Rumsey, Samuel (I5134)
 
414 Henry R. Nowland was in Huron, Wayne Co, Mich, in the 1850 census, a farmer with $300 in real estate. He was 30, his wife Celinda was 23, and they had Cornelius 2 years and Mary Jane who was 1? month old.

In 1860, Henry R. Nowland of Huron had land worth $1000 and personal property worth $500. He was 37, Selinda was 33. With them were Cornelias aged 11, Mary Jane 10, and Charles 3.

By 1870 the value of farmer Henry B. Nowland's property in Huron had risen to $2000 and $600. He and Selinda were 47 and 43. Of the previous children, only Charles was at home, now 13, and they had added Thomas 7 and William 4.

In 1880 Henry and Salinda of Huron were 57 and 53 respectively. At home were Charles N. 23, a farm laborer, Thomas 17 and William 14.

Not far away was his son Cornelius Nowland who was 31 and a farmer. His wife Hannah was 33, and they had Selwin 13, Henry 8, Wallace 7, Nellie 5, Guy 2, and Mark 6 months old.

Neither Henry nor Celinda Nowland were found in Michigan in 1900.

Their youngest son William C. was in the Village of Charlevoix, in the town and county of the same name. He was 34, a day laborer. His wife Clora J. was 30, they had been married 11 years, and both of their children were with them - Dora A. who was 6, and Jennie E. who was 3.

Their next older son, Thomas O., was in Marion Tp, Charlevoix Co, where he was a farmer. He was 37 and had been married 7 years to Olive who was 29, but they were childless. 		Nowland, Henry B. (I10247)
 
415 HIA "gives details of the families of John, Gabriel and Matthias, giving their birth dates as 1785, 1796 and 1812 respectively." -(AJW) "Silas Horton lived where Samuel Rumsey resides. Mathias Horton was a son of Silas." -(R&C p.526)

Mrs. R. A. Wernecke reported that her grandmother's record of the family shows the birth date of Gabriel Horton, Mrs. Wernecke's grandfather, to be 26 Jan 1796.

In the 1800 census of Goshen, Orange Co, NY, the household of Matthias Horton had 2 males and 2 females under 10, 2 males and 1 female 16-25, 2 males and 1 female 26-44. (Matthias was not indexed in 1790.)

In 1810 in Goshen, Matthias Horton had 1 male under 10, 1 male and 1 female 10-15, 1 female 16-25, he and his wife being 26-44. Next to them was James Horton with 2 males under 10, 1 female 10-15 and 1 male and 1 female 16-25. John Horton was in Goshen, his age 26-44, his wife under 26, with 1 female under 10, and 1 male 16-25.

In Goshen in 1820, on different pages, were:
Sarah Horton over 45, having with her 1 female under 10, 2 males and 1 female 10-15, 1 female 16-25, and 2 males 19-25. Two were engaged in agriculture.
James Horton who was aged 26-44, with a wife who was 16-25, and 2 boys under 10. One was engaged in agriculture.
James Horton and a wife who were both 16-25, one person in commerce.
John Horton and his wife, both over 45, too old.

John Coleman was not indexed in Orange Co in 1830.
Gabriel Horton was in Goshen in 1830, and in Minisink in 1840, (see his page for details).
Hector Tuttle was in Sempronius, Cayuga Co in 1830 and 1840 (see his page).

In Goshen in 1830 there were a James Horton and wife, both in their 30s, 1 female under 5, and 2 males 10-14.
And in Warwick was another James Horton whose household had 1 male under 5, 1 male 5-9, 1 male 15-19, 1 female 20-29, 1 male 30-39, and 1 female 40-49.

In 1840 there was a John C. Coleman in Goshen who was in his 50s, and had 1 female under 5, 1 female 10-14, 1 female 15-19, 1 female 20-29, and 1 female 40-49. (A John Coleman mar in Goshen Presby.Ch. 7 Jul 1808, Letty Thew.)
(There was another John Coleman in New Windsor who was also in his 50s. He had with him 1 female under 5, 1 male and 1 female 5-9, 1 male 10-14, and 1 male and 1 female 20-29, possibly a son and his wife?)

There was a James Horton in Salina, Onondaga Co, NY, in 1840. (Sarah's son James was in Syracuse, Onondaga Co, in 1843 - see below - and Syracuse is in Salina Tp.) In his household were 1 female 5-9, 1 female 10-14, 2 males 20-29, 1 female 40-49 and 1 male 50-59. Two in the family were engaged in commerce.

In the 1843 estate of Peter4 Rumsey, the children of his deceased sister Sarah Horton were listed as: Gabriel Horton, and Julia wife of Hector C. Tuthill, both of Cayuga Co, (both confirmed there by the 1850 census); James Horton of Syracuse (not indexed there in 1850); and Hector Horton of Maryland.

A Hector Horton was found in Woodsboro, District No. 11, Frederick Co, Maryland, in 1850, a laborer aged 48, with John and Margaret Myers, both born in Maryland.

A possible sequence for the children, from the above census records:

416 Hiram Nowland was not with his parents in the 1850 census, so may have been married by then.

The only census in which he has been found so far is 1880, when he was in the Village of New Boston, Huron Tp, Wayne Co, Mich. He appeared to have a middle initial of R., but that interpretation is not certain. He was 56, and employed as a Nursery Agent. His (second) wife Eliza was 52, born in Michigan, both her parents born in New Jersey. With them were John and Edna O'Coner, aged 25 and 21, undoubtedly the daughter Edna reported by CWW. John was a brick mason.

There was a widow Eliza Nowland in New Boston in 1900, born Dec 1824, who could be Hiram's widow, shaving her age about 4 years. But this Eliza was born in New York, and both her parents too instead of New Jersey. She was with John and Mina Neaman in their 40s, both of German parents, and Mina was born in Germany also. There were children in the household, then "Father" Cristan Kahl aged 74 and born in Germany, followed by Eliza Nowland who was called "Sister". How she could be sister to either John or Mina Neaman is hard to fathom, since there was no sign of a German background. So she still remains a mystery. Mina Neaman and Cristan Kahl had both come to America in 1874.

DBRX gave only one wife for Hiram - Eloisa Jane Smith, b ca 1829 - Mich. the names "Eliza" and Eloisa" could have been confused by the census taker, and be the same person. CWW's source for the name Cornelia is not known. 		Nowland, Hiram (I10249)
 
417 Horace Hudson was listed in the 1820 census of Monroe, Orange Co, NY, next to his father John. He was aged 26-44 and engaged in agriculture, his wife was 16-25. A Horace Hudson was in Cornwall in 1830, in his 40s, and with him were 1 female under 5, 1 male and 2 females 5-9, 1 female 10-14, and 1 male and 1 female 20-29. Yet Horace was not know to have any children by 1830.

In 1840 Horace was back in Monroe, and in manufacturing or trade. In his household there were 2 males under 5 (Phineas, Robert), 2 males 5-9 (Leonard, Horace), 1 female 15-19 (Mary would be only 5-9), 1 female 30-39 (his wife), and he was 50-59.

In Monroe in 1850, Horace Hudson was a farmer with $500 in real estate. He was 60 years old, Cathe was 49, and the children still at home were Mary A. 19, Leonard B. 15, Robt V. 14, Phineas R. 12, Cathe 8 and Jno B. 4. Horace Hudson Jr was also in Monroe, a shoemaker at 18, probably learning the trade from Jos(?) Thorn 30, with a wife Drusilla 20, with whom he was listed (almost illegible).

In the 1855 state census, Horace Hudson was in the 2nd Election District of Monroe, a farmer aged 65 who was a landowner. His framed house was valued at $400. His wife Catharine was 55, a life long resident of Monroe, as were her children. Leonard B. was 20, Hendric 18 (was he the Robert V. of 1850? No 1880 Soundex that name), Phineas 16, John 9, Catharine 13. Horace Hudson Jr, shoemaker aged 22, was boarding with Sally Ann McGarrah,43, and her children.

In Monroe in 1860, Horas Hudson was 70, and now owned $1000 in real estate and $400 in personal property. He was still a farmer. With him were Catherine 59, Horas Junr 27, also a farmer, John B. 12, and Catherine 18. John was reported as "idiotic", but this more likely applies to Catherine who never married. Phineas R. Hudson was also in Monroe, working as a farm laborer for a wealthy farmer named John Brooks aged 80 and his wife Sarah 74.

L. B. Hudson was in Goshen, a farmer aged 26. He had a wife Margaret who was 23, and an 11 month old son Charles. They had a farm laborer and a domestic servant with them.

In 1870, farmer Horace Hudson of Monroe had $13,000 and $2,200 in real and personal property. He was 80, his wife Catharine was 70. At home were Phineas R. 30, Catharine 25 and an Ella J. 23, who turned out to be wife of Phineas in 1880. They also had a domestic servant and a farm worker.

Horace and Catherine Hudson have not been found in the 1880 census. In Monroe that year, "Phin.R." Hudson was a farmer aged 42. His wife Ella J. was 32, and their children were Horace 9, Emma L. 6 and Phil.C. 4. There was also a niece Margaret Hudson, 14 years old, probably daughter of Leonard B. and Margaret Hudson, and named for her mother. There was also a farm laborer.

In Chester in 1880, John B. Hudson was 34 and a farmer. His wife Mary was 33, and there were three children - George 8, Lilly 4, and Maud 11 months old, born the previous July. They had a domestic servant and a farm laborer.

Horace Jr, Leonard B. and Robert V. Hudson have not been found in the 1880 census. "Robert" has not been found since his only appearance in 1850, and as "Hendric" in 1855. 		Hudson, Horace (I5600)
 
418 In 1800 there was a Daniel Seward in Wallkill. The houshold consisted of 2 males and 1 female under 10, 1 female 10-15, 2 males and 3 females 16-25, 1 male 26-44, and 1 male and 1 female over 45. The younger man could be Juliana's husband, and she could be one of the three females under 25, though her age at death puts her just over 25 in 1800. Daniel Seward of Wallkill was assessed for $900 in real estate in 1803 (R&C p.440)

In 1810 there was a Daniel Seward in Southold, Suffolk Co, Long Island, where there were 1 female under 10, 1 female 10-15, and the parents 26-45.

In 1820 a Daniel Seward was in Goshen. He had 2 females under 10, 1 male 10-15, 2 males and 1 female 16-25, 1 male 26-44, and 1 male & 1 female over 45.

The Daniel Seward in Goshen in 1830 had 1 female 15-19 (Julia?), 1 male 20-29, 1 female 30-39, 1 female 50-59, and 1 male 60-69. These last two appear to match Daniel and Juliana, and seems to include their daughter Julia. The male in his 20s could be the male 10-15 in 1820.

There is no telling how many of the above might be Dr. Daniel Seward, husband of Juliana Rumsey.

Julia Ann Seward, wife of Doct. David [sic] Seward was admitted to the First Presbyterian Church of Goshen 6 August 1831, and baptized the following day as wife of Dr. Daniel Seward (GPCh p.66,139).

Julia/Juliana was not indexed in the 1840 census. In 1843 when her brother Peter died, his sister Julia Seward of New York City was listed among his heirs.

The death notice for the daughter Julia, in The Whig Press of 20 Dec 1854, called her "(Mrs)" Julia Seward, and reported that she was Principal of S. S. Seward Institute in Florida [NY]. Samuel S. Seward established the Insitute bearing his name in 1846. "The first principal of the separate female department was Miss Seward." (R&C p.571). "Goshen Female Seminary was established in Goshen in 1851. Julia Seward became the second principal of the school" (ibid p.522)

419 In 1810 Nath'l Carpenter was listed in the census of Goshen, aged 26-44. With him were 1 male under 10 (John C.), 2 males and 1 female 16-25 (Philotta).

In 1820 Nathaniel Carpenter was in Wallkill. In his household were 1 male and 2 females under 10 (Oliver, Mary, Julia), 1 male 10-15 (John C.), 1 male and 1 female 16-25, 1 male and 1 female 26-44, and 1 male 45 and over. (Nathaniel was 42 that year, Philotta 35.)

He was in Hamptonburgh in 1830, in his 50s, his wife in her 40s. With them were 1 male 5-9 (William), 2 females 10-14 (Mary, Julia), and 2 males 15-19 (John?, & a farm laborer?). (John would have been 20.)

Again in Hamptonburgh in 1840, Nathaniel was in his 60s, and had 1 male and 2 females 15-19, 2 males 20-29, and 1 female 40-49. (This does not match the family of Nathaniel Carpenter very well.)

Phila, wife of Nathaniel Carpenter of Hamptonburgh, was listed among the heirs of her uncle Peter Rumsey in 1843.

In 1850 John C. Carpenter headed the household in Hamptonburgh at the age of "35". With him were Julia A. 30, Mary C. 28, William 24, and "Farotte" (their mother) aged 59. John and William were farmers.

In the 1855 state census of Hamptonburgh, William "C." Carpenter headed the household at age 27. Following him was his mother "Phitola" who was 68 and a widow, brother John C. 40, and sisters Julia A. 33 and Mary 30. There were also two domestic servants. The Carpenter family had lived in Hamptonburgh for 36 years. Their frame house was valued at $1200.

In 1860 William H. Carpenter was head of household in Hamptonburgh. He was 32, a farmer with $13,600 in real estate and $3,000 in personal property. Listed next was "Christina" Carpenter aged 70, then John C. 40, Julia A. 35, Mary C. 26, and two farm laborers.

Nathaniel Carpenter was born in the East Division of the town of Goshen. He learned the trade of mason at Washingtonville [in Blooming Grove], but settle in Hamptonburgh as a farmer.

His son Oliver, born in the East Division of Goshen, spent most of his youth in Hamptonburgh. In 1851 he purchased a farm in Wawayanda township, where he was living in 1881, "engaged in dairying." He was a Democrat, but seldom participated in politics. He joined the Congregational Church of Middletown in 1850, and he and his wife were active supporters in 1881. (R&C p.691) 		Carpenter, Nathaniel (I5672)
 
420 In 1810 there was a Platt Rogers in Half Moon, Saratoga Co, NY. The household contained 1 female 10-15, 1 male 16-25, 1 female 26-44, and 1 male over 45. Platt would be 22 that year, so this might be his father who headed the household which included young Platt.

In 1820 Platt Rogers was enumerated in Warwick, Orange Co, NY, His household contained 2 males under 10, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 16-25, 3 males 26-44, and 1 female over 45. The female 16-25 could be Julia Ann, if she had already married Platt, one of the 26-44 males. The two youngest might be theirs.

The place of Julia Ann in the VCY family outline suggests she was older, but she was listed after Eunice in her father's will, and was probably 10-15 in the 1810 census, and under 10 in 1800, so older than Oliver who was born in December 1800.

In 1830 there were two Platt Rogers in Huntington, Suffolk Co, Long Island, NY, listed almost next to each other. One had only 1 female 20-29, and 1 male and 1 female 60-69. The other had 1 male and 1 female under 5, 1 male 10-14, and both parents 30-39. This would appear to be father and son, but needs to be proved.

In 1840 Platt Rogers was in Clifton, Saratoga Co, NY. He had 1 male and 1 female 15-19, 2 males and 1 female 20-29, 1 female 40-49, 2 males 50-59 (one being Platt), and 1 female 70-79 (probably his mother).

In 1850 Platt Rogers was still in Clifton, Saratoga Co. He was 62, a farmer with $7280 in real estate. His wife had apparently died, for he had only Stephen 28 and Caroline 19 with him. Probably Caroline was Stephen's wife rather than sister, since there was no female under 10 in the family in 1840.

Proof that any of the above Platt Rogers had married Julia Ann Youngs needs to be found. These census records are shown as a basis for further research. 		Rogers, Platt (I5744)
 
421 In 1820 Oliver Coleman was living alone in Blooming Grove, next to his brother Joel. He was 16-25.

In the 1830 census of Wallkill, Orange Co, Oliver Coleman and his wife were in their 20s. With them were 1 male and 1 female under 5 (William, Mary), and 1 female 5-9.

In 1840 Oliver Coleman was in Jerusalem, Yates Co. His household consisted of 1 female under 5 (Elizabeth), 1 male 5-9 (William), 1 female 10-14 (Mary), and 1 female 30-39 and 1 male 40-49.

In the 1843 probate of his uncle Peter Rumsey's estate, Oliver Coleman of Penn Yan [Yates Co], NY, was listed among the heirs. [The village of Penn Yan is partly in Jerusalem Tp and partly in Milo Tp.]

In the 1850 census of Jerusalem, Yates Co, Oliver Coleman was 53 and had a farm valued at $5520. His wife Nancy was 43. With them were Mary 22, William 20 (also a farmer), Elizabeth 14 and Henry 6.

In 1860 in Jerusalem, Oliver was 63 and now owned $7000 in real estate and $500 in personal property. Nancy was "50", her birthplace given as NJ instead of NY as in 1850, and she had $150 in personal property. (An inheritance from her father?) Their son William A. was with them at age 30 and probably his wife Margaret who was also 30. Sarah was 23, probably the Elizabeth of 1850, and Henry was 17.

They were not found in Jerusalem in 1870. 		Coleman, Oliver (I5686)
 
422 In 1840, Andrew Nowland was listed in the census of Huron, Wayne Co, Mich, next to his brother John. His household consisted of 1 male and 1 female under 5, and 1 male and 1 female 20-29. Perhaps the unidentified daughter was Maryann or Ida from CWW's list, and died young before 1850.

In the 1850 census of Huron, Andrew Nowland was "26", a farmer with $500 in real estate. His 2nd wife Rachel was 20, and with them were William 12 (by 1st wife), Sarah 8 and Alonzo 7 (children of Andrew's brother, iv-William), and Rachel's son Andrew who was 1 year old. Also in the household was Catharine "Felton" aged 59, probably Rachel's mother. CWW had reported Rachel's maiden name as Feltar.

In 1860 Andrew's age was 47, in Huron. He now had $1000 in real estate and $750 in personal property. Rachel was 30, and the children were William 21, Andrew "T." 11, Theresa 7, Ida P. 6, Silas S. 3, and Albert who was 3 months old. Catharine "Felter" was still with them at age 67.

Andrew had moved to Marion Tp, Charlevoix Co, Mich before the 1870 census, where his farm was valued at $1000, and his personal property at #400. He was 58 Racheal was 42, and at home were Teressa 18, Ada 15, Silas 13, Albert 11, Eddy 6, and Samuel 2.

His son William T. Nowland was still in Huron, Wayne Co, aged 32, a farmer with $2000 and $600 in real and personal property. His wife Mary H. was 33, and their son George was 4.

Andrew "A." Nowland, 21, was also in Huron, a sawyer with $800 and $100 in property. His wife Lucina was 23, and their two children were listed as "Rachel" 2 years and "Albert" 8 months old. These names were double checked, for later records had Richard and Martin who were these ages. Apparently Rachel was correct, for DBRX had a death for her. And Martin was in 1880 and 1900, but no Albert.

In 1880, Andrew Nowland was a widower. With him in Boyne City, Evangeline Tp, Charlevoix Co, Mich, were his son Albert "28" and daughter Tressa 27.

His son Andrew was a Deputy Sheriff in Boyne Valley, Charlevoix Co, with his wife "Lucinda" and five children. He was 32, she 36. Their children were Richard 12, Martain 10, Ann E. 8, Magie 4 and Guy 1 year old.

William T. Nowland had remained in Huron, Wayne Co, with his wife Mary H. He was a farmer aged 42, she was 43. Their sons George E. and Walter G. were 14 and 9. With them also was Nellie Norton 10, attending school. No relationship was shown, but she may be the daughter of Emily (Nowland) Norton (iv-5.), whose older brother and sister, Sarah and Alonzo Nowland, had been with Andrew in 1850.

In 1900 Andrew (Jr)'s widow Lusena M. Nowland kept a boarding house in Boyne Valley Tp. At the time of the enumeration, her boarders were four men of varying ages, origins and occupations. Her son Martin P. was 30 and unmarried, a laborer boarding with a younger man born in Illinois of German parents, who was a laborer in the woods.

Also in 1900, Albert, Edward and Samuel Nowland were farmers in Wilson Tp, Charlevoix Co living next to each other with their families:

Albert was 39, and had been married 16 years to Edith who was 31. Six of Edith's ten children had died. Since she did not marry Albert Nowland until she was about 25, it is possible some were by a previous marriage. The four survivors were Grace, Ora, Ray and Roy Nowland. A nephew, Sidney Thompson aged 21, was with them as a farm laborer. He may have been Edith's nephew, as the only possible relationship to Albert would be if his older sister Ida had married a Thompson after 1870.

"Eddy" Nowland was 35, his wife Alma was 29, and they had been married 14 years, their only two children being Teresa and Charles.

Samuel had just been married within the census year, so had no children yet. He was 31, his bride "Cesil" was only 19.

Of William's two sons, George was in Wyandotte, Wayne Co, and Walter was still in Huron, both married, but only Walter had a child. 		Nowland, Andrew Hudson (I10230)
 
423 In a letter of 11 Jan, probably 1846, written by Pamelia (Rumsey) Reeder of Blooming Grove, NY, daughter of Jesse4 Rumsey (#34), to her brother Hiram W. Rumsey, she reported that "Uncle Daniel Goldsmith is very low the consumson of the throagt is what ales him and old age together." There is no proof that Daniel Goldsmith's wife was a sister of Jesse Rumsey, and he could be related to Jesse's wife, Lucinda (Terry) Rumsey, instead.

There was a Daniel Goldsmith in the 1790 census of Southold (where the Rumsey family first settled), Suffolk Co, Long Island, NY. He was the only male over 16, and had 2 males under 16 and 3 females. This might be the same Daniel who appeared subsequently in Orange Co.

In the 1800 census of Blooming Grove, listed next to Selah Tooker who had married Jesse Rumsey's sister Hannah, Daniel Goldsmith and his wife were between the ages of 26 and 44. With them were 3 females under 10, 1 male and 1 female 10-15, and 1 male 16-25.

In Blooming Grove in 1810, Daniel and his wife were again 26-44, and now had 2 males and 4 females under 10, 2 females 10-15, and 2 males 16-15. He was not indexed in the 1820 census of New York.

In 1830 Daniel Goldsmith was enumerated in New Windsor, Orange Co. In the household were 2 males and 1 female 10-14, 1 female 15-19, 2 males and 1 female 60-69. Daniel was not indexed in 1840, nor was he found in Blooming Grove, and was probably living with one of his children. 		Rumsey, [Daughter] (I5311)
 
424 In a letter written 11 Jan, prob 1846, by Pamelia (Rumsey) Reeder of Blooming Grove, NY, daughter of Jesse4 Rumsey (#34), to her brother Hiram W. Rumsey, she spoke of "Aunt Ruth Coleman" as "liveing yet and injoys pretty good helth for one of her age she is 84 years old." This could refer to a sister of either her father or her mother. In order to record what I have found on Ruth Coleman, she is tentatively placed here as a Rumsey, but needs to have her relationship proved.

Not knowing her husband's given name, it is impossible to identify this Coleman family in the early census records. But he had apparently died before the 1840 census of Blooming Grove, when Ruth Coleman was enumerated with 1 male and 1 female 10-14, 1 female 30-39, she herself being in her 70s.

In the 1850 census of Blooming Grove, Ruth Coleman was living alone at the aged of 86. She had $1500 in real estate. 		Rumsey, Ruth (I5151)
 
425 In deeds recorded 1831, but not checked, Cornelius Carman and his wife, and Alexr Stark and his wife Jean were all of Newburgh, Orange Co, when they sold land to Cornelius Rumsey. The date of the deed was possibly before 1820, for the Carmans had been in Newburgh in the 1810 census, but were in Fishkill, Dutchess Co in 1820 and 1830. Cornelius Carman had married a Mary Rumsey, and the close association of the Carmans and Starks with Cornelius Rumsey, leads one to think Jean Stark may also have been a Rumsey, though this still needs to be proved or disproved. It may be significant that Cornelius4 Rumsey named his youngest son Alexander S. Rumsey.

In the 1830 census, Alexander Stark was in Newburgh, Orange Co. He and his wife were in their fifties and had no children with them.

In 1840, there was an Alexander Stark in Moravia, Cayuga Co, NY, he in his 60s, his wife in her 50s, living by themselves. This might be Alexander and Jean, or Alexander and a second and younger wife. I have no proof that this was even the same Alexander. He was not indexed in 1850. 		Stark, Alexander (I5319)
 
426 In the 1810 census of Blooming Grove, Orange Co, Rumsey Coleman and his wife were under 26 years of age, and had with them 1 male and 1 female 10-15.

In 1820 in Blooming Grove, Phinehas R. Coleman and his wife were 26-44, and had 2 females under 10 and 1 who was 10-15.

In 1830 Rumsey Coleman was in Hamptonburgh, and had 1 male and 1 female under 5, 2 females 10-14, 1 female 15-19, 1 male 20-29, his wife who was in her 30s, and he in his 40s.

In Hamptonburgh in 1840, Phineas R. Coleman had 1 male under 5, 1 male and 1 female 5-9 (Albert & ? ), 1 male and 1 female 10-14 (Phineas, Julia), 1 female 15-19, 1 male 30-39, 1 female 40-49 and 1 male 50-59.

Phineas Coleman of Hamptonburgh was one of the heirs in the estate of his uncle Peter Rumsey, in 1843.

In the 1850 census of Hamptonburgh Phineas R. Coleman was 64, a farmer with $6000 in real estate. His wife Sarah was 58, and with them were Julia 22, Phineas R. 21, Albert "11" (poss 17?), and 12 year old Emily Rumsey - a granddaughter.

In 1850, their daughter Elizabeth R. was in Montgomery Tp aged 31, with her husband William C. Brewster, a farmer aged 36 with $4300 in real estate. Their four children were Catharine A. 11, Nathaniel 8, Oldfield 6 and John 2.

In the 1855 state census, Phineas Coleman of Hamptonburgh was 69, a farmer and a land owner, Sarah was 63, and they had lived in Hamptonburgh for 40 years. At home were only Julia 25 and Albert 23. Granddaughter Emily Rumsey was still with them at age 19, and they had an Irish laborer. Their frame house was valued at a modest $400. They were living very close to their widowed aunt, Philotta Coleman, and her grown children.

In Goshen in 1855, Phineas R. Coleman (Jr) was 26, and had a wife Mary H. who was 19. They had lived in Goshen 3 years, where he was a farmer and owned land. They had one son "Fredrc" Coleman who was 3 months old, and an Irish domestic servant. Their frame house was valued at $1000.

In 1860, Phineas R. Coleman (Sr) was still in Hamptonburgh, aged 74. He now owned $5440 in real estate and $1000 in personal property. Sarah was 68, and Albert L. was still at home, aged 28. With them this time was Samuel E. Rumsey aged 23, their other Rumsey grandchild and a farmer, as was Phineas. There was also a young domestic servant.

In Goshen in 1860, P.R. Coleman (Jr) was a farmer with $10,900 in real estate. He was 30, his wife Mary H. was 24, and their sons were Frederick 5 and William B. 1 year old. With them was Thos. Robinson 19 who was Mary's brother. They had an Irish farm laborer working for them. 		Coleman, Phineas Rumsey (I5673)
 
427 In the 1810 census of Fayette, Seneca Co, NY, David Rumsey headed a household containing 2 males and 1 female under 10, 1 female aged 16-25, and 1 male 26-44. In 1820 there were 4 males under 10, 2 males and 1 female 10-15, 1 female 26-44, and 1 male 45 or over.

In 1827, David Rumsey and the widow Elizabeth Rumsey were executors of the estate of his brother Moses Rumsey, and in that capacity they conveyed property from the estate in Seneca Co. On 26 Feb 1829, David Rumsey and his wife Jane of Fayette conveyed land to John Lambert (LR U:192). David received a payment from his father's estate which was probated in Seneca Co in August 1829.

"David moved from Fayette, N.Y. to Jerusalem twp, Yates Co, N.Y. near Bluffs point in 1828. William Knowland (husband of Elizabeth)[his sister #67] sold the farm to David and moved to Wayne Co., Mich. In 1835 David moved to Huron Co., Ohio. Most of his children came by boat from Canandaigua to Buffalo to Fairfield, Ohio, arriving on Oct. 16, 1835. David was injured on the trip from Northumberland, up the Susquehana to Fayette when he was caught between a shire pole and a barrel of flower." (JSR, derived from Mrs. Sanford's notes and those of Spencer B. Rumsey, [son of Caleb C.6 & uncle of JSR].)

In the 1830 census of Jerusalem, David "Rusey" had 1 girl under 5 (Eliza Jane), 2 boys and 1 girl 5-9 (Caleb, George, Elizabeth), 2 boys 10-14 (Jacob, Adam), 1 boy and 1 girl 15-19 (David or Hiram, & a domestic?), 2 males 20-29 (John, & a farm laborer?), his wife in her 40s and he in his 50s. (Baby Charles is missing; perhaps he was born Jan 1831 instead of 1830.)

The Presbyterian church in Branchport, Jerusalem Tp, Yates Co, was organized 24 Jul 1832, and David Rumsey was chosen one of two Ruling Elders. The 18 original members included Mrs. Sophia Rumsey (wife of Thomas), and Mrs. Eliza Rumsey (probably wife of David's son John, who was also John's first cousin). There was also a "Miss" Jane Rumsey listed, who probably should be "Mrs." Jane, the wife of David Rumsey (HDY). The original church records have not been examined to verify the marital status of these two.

In the NY state census of 1835, David Rumsey was still in Jerusalem Tp, with a total of 7 males and 3 females in the household. Two of the males were subject to militia duty (Hiram & Adam), and two were eligible to vote (John Sr & Hiram). One of the females was married, and two were under 16 (Elizabeth & Eliza Jane). David had 75 acres of improved land, 17 neat cattle, 5 horses, 42 sheep, and 24 hogs. Within the past year the family had produced 45 yards of fulled cloth, 46 yards of woolen cloth, 85 yards of linen, cotton or other thin cloths. His sons David and John had their own households in Jerusalem, as did his younger brother Thomas. His old brother John had just left for Huron Co, Ohio.

The first deed in Huron Co, Ohio, recorded to David Rumsey Sr was dated 25 Oct 1835, for 87 acres in Lot 19, Section 2, New London, from William and Philinder Blackman of New London, for which he paid $872 (LR OS-10:471). (His son David "Ramsey" Jr had a deed dated 22 May 1835, for land in Fairfield Tp. And his brother Thomas "Ramsey" had one dated 25 May 1835, for land in New London Tp (LR OS-9:516, 520).

In the 1840 census David Rumsey was in New London Tp, Huron Co, Ohio. In his household were 1 male 5-9, 1 female 10-15, 2 males and 1 female 15-19, 2 males and 1 female 20-29, and David and his wife both in their 50s.

David died in July of that year, and Letters of Administration were granted 12 Oct 1840 to David Rumsey Jr. (PR OS-153,158). On 22 May 1846 there was a quit claim for $175, from Caleb C. Rumsey and his wife Phebe to Adam Rumsey, for 87 acres in New London formerly conveyed to David Rumsey dec'd by Wm. Blackman on 25 Oct 1835, and deeded to sd David by E. Lane and P. Latimer 8 Nov 1836 (LR OS-20:174). Between 1846 and 1848, the following heirs of David gave quit claims to John Hoffstatter: William and Betsey Gates, Adam Rumsey, John and Eliza Rumsey, Hiram Rumsey, Jacob B. and Esther Rumsey, and George Rumsey (LR OS-19:101; OS-20:249,587; OS-22:176,177).

On 15 April 1848, Ebenezer Lane and Pickett Latimer gave a deed to the Heirs of David Rumsey Dec'd, for $538.50. They were named as: David, John, Hiram, Adam, Jacob, George, Caleb and Charles Rumsey, Mary Hoffstitter (wife of John Hoffstitter), Elizabeth Gates (wife of William Gates), and Jane Rumsey. Later there was a quit claim from Eliza J. (or Jane) Rumsey to John Hoffstatter, and another to Hoffstatter from Charles "Ramsey", heir of David Rumsey (LR 1:85; 4:91). Most of these deeds were taken from the index only and not checked.

In the 1850 census his widow Jane aged 64, and her daughter Jane Rumsey aged 22, were living in New London with her daughter and son-in-law, John and Mary Hofstatter, the Hofstatters having apparently taken over the old home-stead. George 28 and Charles 19 (i.e. b 1831) were in Hartland Tp with their older brother Jacob Rumsey.

George was still in Huron Co in 1860, at age 38 working as a farm laborer in Fitchville for Joseph C. Washburn and his wife Debby Ann, both in their 50s. He was probably the George Rumsey in Fitchville in 1870, whose age was given as 35, though should have been 49, a farm laborer for John and Elizabeth Townsend. Though the military record on his gravestone does not match, he is the only George Rumsey in Erie or Huron Co who could have been a member of the 55th Inf., Co.E, recruited largely from three townships in Erie Co, but partly from Huron Co; a private, a substitute, and mustered out with his company 11 July 1865. (History of Erie Co, Ohio by Lewis Cass Aldrich (1889), p.139) George P.6 (#60-1) would have been in his 60s during the Civil War.

One of the early pioneers in the town of Fayette, Seneca Co, NY, formed 1800, was an Adam Hofstetter. He was among a group of Pennsylvania-German families who migrated up to Fayette. It seems significant that David and Jane (Hofstatter) Rumsey had a son named Adam. Among the founding members of the Branchport church in Yates Co, there was a Mrs. Betsy Hoffstrater (HDY). There was an Adam Huffstater in the 1800 census of Tyrone Tp, Cumberland Co, Pa, whose household consisted of 3 males and 1 female under 10, 1 female 10-15 who could be Jane, 1 female 16-25, and both parents over 45. 		Rumsey, David (I5384)
 
428 In the 1810 census of Newburgh, Orange Co, NY, Cornelius Carman was listed two lines below Cornelius Rumsey, Mary's brother. Both couples had been married in the same church in Fishkill, six years apart. Cornelius Carman was 26-44, his wife was 16-25, and they had one daughter who was under 10. On the next line above was listed John Carman Jr (16-25), and below were James Carman (26-44), and John C. Carman and wife both over 45 and having 1 male 10-16 with them. John C. could therefore be the father of Cornelius. He had bought land in Newburgh Tp from Cornelius and Hannah Rumsey in 1827.

Cornelius Carman was listed in Fishkill, Dutchess Co in 1820, engaged in manufacturing or trade. He and his wife were 26-44, and with them were 1 male and 1 female 10-15.

In Fishkill in 1830, Cornelius and his wife were alone - he in his 50s, she in her 40s. Deeds recorded in 1831 (not checked for details) may have been dated much earlier, for Cornelius Carman and his wife were still of Newburgh when they and Alexr and Jean Stark sold to Cornelius O. Rumsey (LR 41:222, 224).

He was not found in Fishkill in 1840, nor was he indexed in Dutchess or Orange Co. There was a Cornelius in Sterling, Cayuga Co, but he was only in his 40s. One in Hector, Tompkins Co, was in his 60s so could be the correct one. With him were what appeared to be a young couple in their 20s and 30s and a boy aged 5-9. On the other hand, Cornelius Carman might have been with his daughter.

In 1850 Cornelius Carman, probably the husband of Mary Rumsey, was 72, living in Fishkill. He had $1500 in real estate, but had no occupation. With him was Elizabeth Miller aged 45, close to the age of his daughter Elizabeth baptized in 1806. With her was Mary E. Miller aged 13. 		Carman, Cornelius (I5317)
 
429 In the 1820 census of Blooming Grove, Orange Co, Joel Coleman was listed next to his brother Oliver who was living alone. Joel and his wife were in the 16-25 age bracket, and they had a son who was under 10.

In 1830 Joel Coleman was in Hamptonburg, next to his brother Rumsey Coleman. He and his wife were in their 30s, and with them were 1 male under 5, 1 male 5-9, 1 male and 1 female 10-14 (she prob 5-9), 1 female 20-29 (who?).

In 1840 Joel Coleman Jr. was back in Blooming Grove. His household had 1 male under 5, 1 male and 1 female(who?) 10-14, 1 male and 1 female 15-19, 1 male 20-29, 1 female 30-39 [sic] and 1 male 40-49.

In the 1843 estate of his uncle Peter Rumsey, Joel Coleman of Blooming Grove was listed among the heirs. He has not been spotted in the 1850 census. (The only Joel indexed in New York was age 33 in Yates Co.)

In the 1855 state census, Joel Coleman was in the 2nd Election District of Blooming Grove. He was 61 and a land owner. His wife Sarah was 60, and the only child at home was "Joel Jun" who was 25. They also had an Irish domestic servant. (Same family as 1860 below?)

In the 1860 census of Blooming Grove there was a J. Coleman who was 66, with a wife Sarah who was 65, both of which match Joel and his wife Sally of 1855. He was a farmer with $1000 and $1200 in real and personal property. With them were James H. 30 (i.e.Joel H.?), Oliver H. 20, Frances A. 22, Sarah E. 18, and Calvin 2. Oliver H. (named for Joel's brother?) could be the youngest son in the 1840 census, and Sarah possibly his wife. Joel H. had married Frances Sawyer in 1867, so Calvin was probably their son.

The wife of Joel H. Coleman of Blooming Grove, in the Whig Press 1857, was Frances, daughter of Gen.C.G.Sawyer of Hamptonburgh. R&C (p.499), in a biography of Gen.Calvin G.Sawyer, said his daughter Alida, by his 2nd wife Harriet (Armstrong) Smith, married Joel H. Coleman of Blooming Grove. Alida Sawyer was 12 in the 1850 census of Hamptonburgh, with Calvin G. and Harriet. 		Coleman, Joel (I5683)
 
430 In the 1820 census of Warwick, Hull Coleman had 1 male and 3 females who were under 10 years of age. He and his wife were between 26 and 44.

In 1830, Hull Coleman of Warwick and his wife were in their 30s. With them were 1 male 5-9 (Frances=female), 2 females 10-14 (Almeda, Edson=male), and 1 female 15-19 (Eliza).

In 1840 his household in Warick had only 1 female 20-29 (Frances), and the parents who were 40-49.

In the 1843 estate of his uncle Peter Rumsey, Hull Coleman of Warwick, Orange Co, was listed among the heirs.

He was in Warwick in the 1850 census at age 60, a farmer with $8000 in real estate. His wife Lovisa (GWC had called her Lois) was 52, and with them were Sarah Owens aged 19 and Theodore Walsh 10.

Hull Coleman was in the 1st Election District of Warwick in the 1855 state census. He was a farmer and land owner aged 64. His wife "Louis" was 58, and they had two young servants named Gulliver, probably brother and sister.

Lewis M. Jayne at one time was a trustee of the Presbyterian Congregation of Florida, Warwick Tp. (R&C p.585)

In 1839 Edson Coleman "purchased 100 acres of land, where he now resides, in the town of Goshen, to which he has since added some 40 acres. In 1860 he erected a fine and substantial farm residence...Both he and his wife are attendants of the Presbyterian Church at Amity [Warwick Tp], of which his wife is a member, and a lady of rare womanly qualities." (R&C p.562)

In the 1850 census of Goshen, Edson Coleman was 33 (2 yrs too young), a farmer with $4000 in real estate. His wife was Elizabeth C. aged 26, which does not match the dated of birth given by R&C for Hannah Elizabeth Wisner. There were no children with them. 		Coleman, Hull (I5675)
 
431 In the 1830 census of New York City, Ward 6, Oliver Youngs had 1 female under 5 (Henrietta?), 1 female 10-14, 1 female 15-19 (Maria), and he was 20-29.

In 1840 there was an Oliver "Young" in Goshen, Orange Co, whose younger children match the family above. He had 2 males under 5 (Henry, John), 2 females 5-9 (Elizabeth, Henrietta), 1 male and 1 female 10-14, 1 female 20-29 (Maria), 1 male 50-59 (a year too old for Oliver), and 1 female 70-79 (probably his mother Elizabeth).

Oliver Youngs has not been found yet in 1850, in Goshen or in Illinois. (One in Goshen was only 42. I could not find the one indexed in NYC p.243, Ward 3.) Nor have I found him in 1860. He died in August 1870

In 1870 (census dated 30 July), his son Oliver Youngs was listed in Geneseo City, Henry Co, Ill, as age 28, with no occupation. He had a sizeable $75,000 in real estate, and $10,000 in personal property. His wife "Alice" was 22, and they had been married the previous September. With them was Oliver's brother, Chas. F. Youngs, 21, no occupation and with the same amount in property as Oliver.

In the same city was their older brother Henry "Young" who was 31 and had $100,000 and $25,000 in real and personal property, occupation not specified. He had a wife May who was 28, and a daughter Agnes 5 months old, born in Feb.

Marion Hart, to become Henry's 2nd wife, was not found in Geneseo in 1870.

In 1880 in Geneseo, Ill, Henry Youngs was 40, his current wife was Marion who was 32, born in New York. The children with them were Agnes 10, Henry 8 and Blanche 6. Since these occurred at two year intervals, it would appear they may have all been by his first wife May. With them was Marion's sister Jessie Hart, aged 22, born in Illinois. They also had a domestic servant.

Oliver Youngs of Geneseo was 38 and "Retired". His wife Allie F. was 33, and their daughters were Edith 7, Maude M. 5 and Annie L. 2. Oliver's mother, Maria Youngs, was boarding with them, a widow aged 72.

Two houses away was Charles F. Youngs 32, a retired farmer. His wife Helen E. was 26, a native of Illinois. Their children were May Irene 4 and Charles F. 2, whose mother was shown as born in NY instead of Ill - an error?, or was Helen a 2nd wife and not mother of the children?

Oliver Young was found in the 1900 census of Los Angeles Co, CA, living at 275 Seventh St in Ramona, San Jose Tp. He was a farmer aged 57, and had been married 31 years to Allie F. who was 51. All five of their children were living. At home were Edith 26, Annie 21 and Oliver J. 18.

Henry and Charles were not found in the 1900 Soundex of Illinois or California.

Phineas R. Youngs was not in the 1880 Soundex for New York or Illinois, and was not in Geneseo, Ill, with his brothers in 1870.

The two daughters have not been located under their married names in any census as yet. They were not in Geneseo, Ill, in 1870. George G. Van Kleek was not indexed in 1850 in NY, Ill, or Wis. 		Youngs, Oliver (I5755)
 
432 In the 1830 census of Sempronius, Cayuga Co, NY, Hector Tuttle and his wife were in their 30s. With them were 2 males under 5, and 2 males 15-19.

In 1840 in Sempronius, Hector C. Tuthill's household had 1 male under 5, 1 female 5-9, 1 male 10-14, 1 female 30-39 and 1 male 40-49. He was in Cayuga Co in the 1843 estate of Peter4 Rumsey.

In the 1850 census of Sempronius, Hector C. Tuthill was 52, a farmer with $6000 in real estate. Julia was 51, and there were three children at home - Hector H. 23, Sarah A. 16 and Daniel H. 14.

"Hector C. was a large farmer in Sempronius, N.Y., where he settled in 1827, and was a member of the State Legislature from that place in 1848 and 1849." (R&C betw pp.556-7) 		Tuthill, Hector C. (I5648)
 
433 In the 1850 census of Cass Tp, Fulton Co, Ill, "Watsey" S. Rumsey was 11 years old. She was not with her parents in 1860, but John Day of Lee Tp, Fulton Co, had a wife Emaline who was 33, she and her husband, who was 35, were both born in Ohio. There was an infant son 5 months old (the census taken in Sep), and James L. Day 23, born in Ohio, who was a laborer and possibly John's younger brother.

In 1870, John H. Day of Lee Tp (P.O. Avon) was 45, a farmer with $3000 in real estate and $700 in personal property, living next to Timothy Rumsey. His wife was called Solona E. and was 30 years old. They had a son George aged 8, and two daughters, Mary 7 and Carry 6.

When her mother died in 1872, and her father in 1874, Saloma Day was listed as one of the heirs, a resident of Bushnell (McDonough Co), Ill in 1874, though not found there in any census. (It was probably a mail address.) So the Watsey S. of 1850 was Saloma E. of 1870, and apparently Emaline of 1860, though the ages varied as much as 3 years. The name Watsey, which appears to have been dropped entirely, came from Timothy's sister Watey. The name Saloma came from Timothy's mother.

In the 1880 census of Lee Tp, John H. Day was 56, Soloma E. 41, and their children were George E. 18, Mary A. 16, Carry 15, Levi 9, Hattie 8, Willie 6. None were found in the 1900 Soundex for Illinois. 		Day, John Harmon (I10084)
 
434 In the 1850 census of Ecorse, Wayne Co, Mich, Elizabeth Case was 31, with $600 in real estate. She was apparently a widow. With her were four Case children - Mary A. 15, Martin T. 11, Elizabeth 6 and Henry L. C. 2 years old. It is possible the two older ones were step-children.

In 1860 in Ecorse, A. H. Woodruf was a farmer with $4000 in real estate and $800 in personal property. He was 37, his wife Elizabeth was 41. Following them were Martha Clark 22, a housekeeper like Elizabeth, then Elizabeth Case 18, Ellen Woodruff 5, Ida Woodruff 4 and Eras Woodruff 2, all females, and Wm Clark 3 who was probably son of Martha Clark.

The 1870 census of Ecorse had A. H. Woodrough as age 48, with $4000 and $650 in real and personal property. Elizabeth was 50, and still at home were her Woodrough children: Ellen 16, and Aril 13 and Avis 11, both male, Carrie 9 and Mary 7.

In 1880 Alexander H. Woodruff of Ecorse was a widower aged 57. Three daughters were with him - widow Hellen Gowman 26 was keeping house for him, and Avis Woodruff 19 and May Woodruff 17. No Case was spotted in Ecorse. 		Woodruff, Alexander H. (I10240)
 
435 In the 1850 census of Hartland Tp, Huron Co, Ohio, the family of Hiram Pancost and his young (second) wife Huldah included Lewis aged 15.

Abel Adams was in Clarksfield, Huron Co, aged 20, a farmer who owned $240 in real estate. He was with the family of George and Mahala Gray, who were probably not related as they did not know Abel's birthplace.

In 1860, Lewis Pancost of Hartland was 24, his wife Mary was 28, and their daughter Lewella was 9 months old. No property was listed for him.

Abel Adams was listed two dwellings away, with a wife named Susan. He was 30, a farmer and a cooper, with $1500 in real estate and $150 in personal property. Susan was 29, and their two daughters were Ophelia 7 and Lydia A. 4. With them were Alanson Adams aged 19, born in Ohio, probably a brother of Abel, and a Maria Flowers 26, born in NY, with her 1 year old daughter Elnora, possibly related to Abel or Susan.

Three dwellings from the Pancosts, on the other side, was Mary's sister Catherine Chandler and her family. A sister of Lewis Pancost was boarding with them.

The Adams family has not been spotted in 1870, except for Abel's daughter Lydia, aged 14, who was living in Hartland with William N. and Elizabeth Garner, aged 60 and 59, both born in NY. (In Hartland in 1850, listed next to Hiram Pancost, William and Elizabeth Garner had a daughter Susanna who was 14. Could this have been Susan, mother of Lydia Adams, whose age was 29 in 1860?)

In 1880, Abel was shown as Abram. He and Ella had a son, Alta aged 17 and a daughter, Maud, aged 8.

In 1880, Walter and Luella Ryerson were in Hartland, their ages 27 and 20. He was a farmer. Their only child Pearl K. was 1 year old, and recorded as a son.

In 1900, in the 3rd Ward of Norwalk City, living at 65 Christie Ave, Walter S. Ryerson was 46, employed as a night watchman. He had been married 22 years to Lewello who was "39". The date of her birth was given as Sept 1860, an obvious error since she had been 9 months old in the 1860 census. Their only child, daughter Pearl K., was 21 and a stenographer. Not far away, living alone at 85 Christie Ave, was widow Mary E. Adams. She was a nurse, aged 69. Mrs. Mary Adams of Norwalk had been one of the surviving sisters of Loren W. Rumsey when he died the year before.

Bennett S. Pancoast reported hearing from Edna (Pancost) Mowery (Mrs.M.E.) of Elkhart, Indiana, a niece of Lewis/Louis Pancost, that "Louis was a fine looking man", judging from a photo she had of him taken at Bristol, Indiana. 		Rumsey, Mary Ella (I10070)
 
436 In the 1850 census of Huron Tp, Wayne Co, Mich, William Nowland Sr, born in Pa, headed a household at age 66. Among his family were William J. aged 29 and, at the end of the list, (his wife) Nancy aged 17.

In 1860 William had no real estate in Huron at age 39, but had $775 in personal property. Nancy was 27, and with them were Lee 8, Eli 6, Edward 4, William 2, and Elizabeth 1 month old.

In Huron in 1870, William Nowland was 50, and now had $2500 in real estate and $700 in personal property. (His father had died two years before.) Nancy was 37, and at home were Lee 18 and a farm laborer, Eli 16, Edward 14, William 12, Elizabeth 10, Henry 6, and Ella 2.

His household in Huron was smaller in 1880 when he was 60 and Nancy was 48. With them were only Henry 16, Ella 12, and Myron H. 7.

But next door was his son Lee, a railroad laborer. He and his wife Rebecca were both 28, and they had a daughter Bertha who was 6 years old.

"Ely" Nowland was 27 and living on Fifth St in Ann Arbor, Washtenaw Co, that year, with his wife Ida L. who was 19. Their daughter Maud L. was 3 months old.

In 1900 in the Village of New Boston, in Huron Tp, William Nowland was widowed and 78 years old, "father-in-law" with Samuel and Ella Adams. Samuel Adams was a merchant, born in Ireland, aged 36, and Ella was 32. One of her four children had died young. With them were Lenora 12, Samuel 9 and Genevieve 5 years old.

Eli Nowland was in Plymouth Tp, Wayne Co, an expressman at age 47. He had been married 23 years to Ida L. who was 39, and they had lost 2 of their 5 children. With them were Myrtle M. 18, a milliner, and Grace E. 15. 		Nowland, William (I10243)
 
437 In the 1850 census of New London, Huron Co, Ohio, George Hofstatter was 20 years old, living with his parents, John and Mary Hofstatter. Lodema was also in New London with her parents at the age of 14.

In New London in 1860, George Hoffstater was 28, a farm laborer with $400 in personal property but no real estate. His wife's name was written as "Rhodina", aged 25, and they had a son John who was 4 years old. There was also a farm laborer in the household.

In 1870, George Hoffstater was 40, and now owned $5000 in real estate and $1000 in personal property, probably as a result of his father's death in 1868. Lodema was given the age of 32, John was now 15, and they had added son Willie who was 8 years old.

J. G. Hoffstatter of Toledo was listed among the survivors of Loren W. Rumsey in 1899, but there was no mention of William and his mother Lodema.

(The only John Hofstatter of the right age, in either the 1880 or 1900 Soundex of Ohio, was in Tully Tp, Marion Co in both enumerations, nowhere near Toledo. He had a wife Mary L., and several children in 1900.) 		Hoffstatter, George (I10076)
 
438 In the 1850 census of Wawayanda, Minisink Tp, Orange Co, NY, there was a John Dolson with a wife Emily who would be in the correct age bracket to be the daughter of Dr. William and Maria (Ryneck) Horton. Emily's husband was given just as J. J. Dolson, in the Horton sketch in R&C. It is significant that their second daughter was named Mariah, and their youngest son in 1850 was named Silas, preceded by William.

John Dolson was a farmer aged 32, with $8000 in real estate. Emily was 31, and their children were: Wegen? 14 (a daughter), Mariah 12, James 10, Pheebe 8, John 6, Wm 4, and Silas 1 year old. There were also three females, one Irish, the others being Jane Carpenter 28 and Caroline Gardener 14, possibly all domestic help.

R&C has an extensive biographical sketch of Dr. William Horton (betw pp.648-9). It is in the Blooming Grove chapter, though William was "born in Goshen" (Tp) and practiced in Goshen village. 		Horton, Dr. William (I5807)
 
439 In the 1910 census of Platte Tp, Charles Mix Co, SD, Lewis Buck was living two dwellings from his mother. He was 42, a farmer with employees. His wife Minerva was 35, and they had been married 10 years. She had had but 2 children - Ethel who was 9, and John 4. With them was mother-in-law Mary Helm, a widow aged 76, born in Ohio. There were also two hired farm hands.

Lewis Buck was of Platte, SD, when his mother died in 1919.

The following is from a xerox sent by Al Fischer Dec 1995, sent to him by Shirley Rumsey Hatch, who reported it was "copied from a history book in the Register of Deeds office in Lake Andes SD." The publication would be after Jan 1942, for Robert Buck, son of George Lewis Buck, was reported as deceased.


BUCK: LEWIS O'DELL BUCK was born September 30, 1867, at Bushnell,
Illinois, to Henry and Mary (Rumsey) Buck. He died October 28, 1942
at Stickney, South Dakota. Lewis O. Buck was united in marriage to
Minerva Helm on April 10, 1899, at Mason City, Iowa. Minerva was born
October 27, 1879, at Mason City, Iowa, and passed away September 7,
1966, at Stickney, South Dakota. Both are interred in the Aurora
Center Cemetery.
Lewis O. Buck was baptized February 1900, in the Christian Church in
Platte, South Daokota. He was a farmer all his life.
Lewis and Minerva Buck had eight children: Ethel May born November
1, 1900, married Ray W. Holdefer [sic, family reported as Holdefila
which seems less likley] and they had two children: Arlene May married
Elbett [sic] Bonawitz. Howard W. married Helen Lewis. John Henry,
born May 30, 1905, married Vera Howard; four children, Harold,
Clarnece, Leonard, and Edith. George Lewis, born July 27, 1910,
married Adah Hazel Thompson; three children, William (dec.), Robert
(dec.), and Darlene May who married Gary R. Palmer. Walter William
born September 23, 1913, married Sadie Barton. Edna Marie, born June
12, 1918, married Paul Wojcieschowski [sic, this surname found in my
local phone book. Family reported it as Wojcleschowski, less likely in
my opinion]; five childen, Mary Frances, Pauline, Paul Jr., Donald and
Margaret Ann. Maybelle Lucille, born December 16, 1920, married John
F. Vaneler Helder [sic, family reported the name as Vanderheiden,
which seems more likely]; five children, Shirley, Dorothy Arlene,
Rose, and Gladys.

This was followed by the obituary which had been sent to Al Fischer in a handwritten copy, (see p.60-15b). The discrepancies in the names, as noted above, probably came through handwritten copies which were not too legible. 		Buck, Lewis Odell (I10544)
 
440 Isaac Harrison Chandler came from New York to Hartland, Huron Co, with his parents in 1836. He started as a lumberman, partly in Michigan. He bought a sawmill built in 1869, the second one to be built in Hartland township. [He was already owner of a sawmill in Hartland in 1860.] This he operated until 1874 when the boiler burst, killing his eldest son Homer at the age of about 20, and narrowly escaping himself. He rebuilt the mill in 1876, and it had been in partial operation ever since, [as late as 1894]. In 1863 he bought a farm of 60 acres to which he moved in 1866 and where he was still living in 1894. [This must have been in Norwalk where he was enumerated in 1870 and 1880.] (HLC)

Harrison Chandler was 19 in the 1850 census of Clarksfield, Huron Co, the eldest child at home with Ebenezer H. and Lydia Chandler.

In 1860, I. Harrison Chandler (the initial looking more like a J. than an I.) was in Hartland, a sawmill owner with $1000 in real estate and $500 in personal property. He was 32, Catherine was 30, and their sons were "Homer" 6, Charles 5, Lewis 3, and Frank 6 months old. With them was Sally A. Pancost 18, a sister of Lewis Pancost who married Catharine's sister Mary (#60-10).

The Chandlers had moved to Norwalk by 1870. Isaac was 40, a sawyer with $3000 and $800 in property. Kate was 37, and at home were Harrison 16, Charles 14, Lewis 12, and Hamilton 3 years old.

The boiler had killed Homer (called Homer Eugene on gs) before the 1880 census of Medina, Norwalk Tp, when I. H. Chandler was 49, now a farmer, and Catherine was 45. With them still were Lewis 23, Hamilton 13, and Clarence 10, and Catherine's mother, widow Lorancy Rumsey aged 73. They also had an English domestic servant.

The obituary for Catharine's brother, Loren W. Rumsey who died in 1899, gave among his survivors his sister, Mrs. Kate Chandler of Norwalk, and his nephews Lewis C. Chandler of Fitchville, Fred H. Chandler of Bronson, C. C. Chandler of Norwalk, and E. H. [shd be C.H.?] Chandler of Fairfield.

This "E.H." is out of sequence for Charles H., the only other surviving son of Catharine, and perhaps disproves the identification of the Charles H. found in Cleveland in 1900 who was 2-3 years too young. He was in the 8th Ward, at 146 Holmden St, a laundryman instead of a bookkeeper there as reported by HLC. He was 42 and his wife Ida was 40, married 21 years. (Charles had not been with his family in 1880.) Ida had had two children, but only one was living - Angela 14, named for her grandmother, Angeline Smith, who was with them. I have found no other Charles that could be considered for this family, but do not know that he ever married.

In 1900, I. H. Chandler was still in Norwalk and a farmer at the age of 69. He and Catherine D. had been married 47 years. She was 66, and 3 of her 7 children were no longer living, (i.e. Harrison/Homer, Frank and Clara May). They had a young farm laborer working for them.

Next door was C. C. Chandler 29, also a farmer, married 8 years to Jennie N. who was 33. Their children were Homer E. 7, Ruby S. 4 and Burton H. 2.

Fred H. Chandler was in Bronson in 1900, a farmer aged 32, married 13 years to Laura A. who was 33, born in Ohio of German parents. They had Catharine M. 12 and Lorana F. 8.

Lewis C. Chandler was in Fitchville, another farmer. He was 42, his wife Emma J. was 39, and they had been married 19 years. Their three children were Bertha M. 16, Ralph H. 15 and Harry 11.

The obituary for Isaac H. Chandler (abstracted from one loaned by Frank W. Rumsey) gave his place of birth, said he married Catherine D. Rumsey of New London in 1853, and was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery.

It was Clarence Chandler's daughter, Mrs. Ruby Arnold of Norwalk, who copied the gravestones of her great-grandparents, George P. Rumsey and his wife, for Frank W. Rumsey. 		Chandler, Isaac Harrison (I10074)
 
441 Joel Coleman was a soldier in the Revolution, and fought in the battle of White Plains. He spent most of his life in Hamptonburgh where he was a farmer (R&C). (The town of Hamptonburgh was formed in 1830 from Goshen, Blooming Grove, New Windsor, Montgomery and Wallkill.)

Joel was in New Cornwall in the 1790 census, when the household consisted of 1 male over 16, 3 males under 16, and 3 females.

In the 1800 census he was aged 26-44, in Blooming Grove, with 2 males and 1 female under 10 (Joel, Oliver, Rachel), 2 males 10-15 (Hull, Phineas), 2 females 16-25 (Philotta & ?housekeeper) (no wife).

In 1810 Joel Coleman was enumerated in Warwick, when both he and his (2nd) wife were over 45. With them were only 1 male under 10 (her son Alfred), and 1 female 10-15 (Rachel).

In 1820 Joel and his wife, both over 45, were in Wallkill. They had 1 female under 10, another 16-25 (Rachel), and 1 male 19-25 (Alfred).

In 1830 Joel Coleman and his wife of Wallkill were both in their 60s, and this time they had with them 1 female under 5, 1 male and 1 female 10-14, and 1 male and 1 female 20-29. (Whose family?)

In 1840 Joel and his wife were 70-79, in Wallkill. With them were 1 male 5-9, 1 female 10-14, 1 female 15-19, and 1 male and 1 female in their 30s.

In Hamptonburg in 1840, the household of James Manny had 1 female 30-39 (who?), and 1 male and 1 female 40-49.

When the estate of Rachel's bachelor brother, Peter4 Rumsey, was probated in 1843, the children of Rachel Coleman who were still living were listed as: Joel Coleman of Blooming Grove, Phineas Coleman of Hamptonburg, Hull Coleman of Warwick, Oliver Coleman of Penn Yan, Keziah Manny wife of James Manny of Hamptonburg, and Phila wife of Nathaniel Carpenter of Hamptonburg.

Alfred Coleman, Joel's son by his 2nd wife Mary, was in Wallkill in 1850 aged 46. His wife Sarah J. was 42, and they had one son at home, Edsen 17; also Jane Keneda 20, and Allice Mapes 6.

In the 1850 census of Hamptonburgh there was a James Many, farmer aged 56, who had a wife Christina aged 60, and a daughter Caroline O. 40. This could be the husband of Keziah Coleman with a second wife. Caroline would thus be Keziah's daughter, since Keziah was living in 1843. 		Coleman, Joel (I5140)
 
442 John Nowland was in the 1840 census of Huron Tp, Wayne Co, Mich, listed next to Andrew Nowland. His household contained 1 male under 5, 1 male 5-9, and 1 male and 1 female 20-29.

John Nowland has yet to be found in the 1850 census. But Steward S. 15 and Emily 4 were with William B. Hollert(?) and Elizabeth, aged 57 and 52, in the 1850 census of Huron, Wayne Co. Probably the name should be Hulbert/Hurlbut, in which case William might be their uncle. Sarah 8 and Alonzo 7 were with with their uncle, Andrew Nowland in Huron. Andrew J. Nowland, aged 12, was with his uncle Thomas Nowland in Huron. Their mother had probably died.

In Huron Tp in 1860, John Nowland was 44, a farmer with $700 in real estate and $375 in personal property. His new wife Jane was 32, and four of John's children by his first wife were back with him - Jackson 21, Sarah 19, Alonzo 16 and Emily 14, and Jane's first child, Francis, who was 2 years old. Steward was already married, but has not been found in 1860. Sarah was also listed in Huron, aged 20, with Theodore 30 and Margaret 28 Evans.

CWW had named John's wife as Elizabeth Hulbert. DBRX said his wife was Jane Hicks, mother of his first 5 children. The census confirms the name Jane --- , but she appears to have been a second wife, the first being mother of only the first 4. The gap of 12 years between Emily and Francis strongly suggests Francis was Jane's first child, with two more to follow.

John Nowland was still in Huron in 1870 at the age of 56, and Jane was 42. His real and personal property was valued at $1000 and $250. With them were Francis 12, Benjamin 10 and Ira 3; also (his daughter) Emily Norton, a nurse aged 24, and her twin daughters born in February but not named. There was a Nellie Norton aged 10 in 1880 with probably her uncle, William T. Nowland.

Also in Huron in 1870 was Steward Nowland aged 34, with a wife Mary A. 33 and two daughters, Emily E. 11 and Zoa 9. Steward was a "hackster." In Ecorse, Wayne Co, was an "And. J. Nowlin" who might be John's son, though given the age of 28 instead of 32, perhaps because his Swiss wife Mary was only 19. There is no proof of his identity however.

In 1880, Huron, Stewart Nowland was a house carenter aged 44. His wife Mary was 43, both parents born in NY, and their daughter Zoa was 19.

In Brownstown Tp, Wayne Co in 1880, John Nowland's widow Jane was 53, her father born in England, her mother in Canada. Her two youngest sons were still with her, Benjamin who was 19 and a farm laborer, and Ira who was 13. Next door were Frank Nowland 21, a farm laborer, his wife Margaret 24, and their 4 month old son John.

Thomas Nowland, aged 15 in 1900, was in Brownstown, Wayne Co, as grandson of Thomas and "Margrate" Quick, thus providing the maiden name of Francis Nowland's wife Margaret. His brother John was not found in 1900.

In the 1900 census of Holly Tp, Oakland Co, Mich, there was a Mary Nowland age 62, born in Aug 1837, who had been married 42 years and had borne 2 children, both still living. This seems to match Steward's wife Mary, but there is no proof of this identification. In this census her father was born in Vermont, her mother in Massachusetts, instead of both in New York as in the 1880 census, which raises doubts that she was the same Mary. She was called sister-in-law of, and was house keeper for, Dr. Daniel Bartholomew 51 and his wife Elizabeth D. 60. The birthplaces of Mary's and Elizabeth's parents match. Mary was not called a widow, but John Nowland was not indexed in Michigan in 1900, and not found in the usual Nowland places of residence.

In Banks Tp, Antrim Co, Mich, Ira Nowland was a saw mill laborer aged 33. He had been married 1 year to Lulu who was 18, and they had a 4 month old son Benjamin. With them was his mother-in-law Laurette Thomas, a widow aged 44, and a boarder George Thomas (probably her son) who was 25 and a day laborer.

Benjamin Nowland was in Marion Tp, Charlevoix Co, in 1900. He was 39 and a farmer. His wife Adele was 37 and they had been married 10 years. One of her six children had died. Her Nowland children were Maurice 9, Edith 6 and Clara 3. Her Sandrok children, Benjamin's step-children, were Lillian 16 and Charles 14, born in Wisconsin and Illinois, their father born in Wisconsin. 		Nowland, John (I10235)
 
443 John Rumsey was 11 years old in the 1850 census of New London, Huron Co, Ohio. Also in New London was the family of Ford and Betsey White, which included their daughters Mary White aged 16 (#60-9), and Adeline Porter aged 18. A few pages later the family of Philo L. and Polly Porter included William aged 28, a farmer with $1600 in real estate. Adeline and William Porter were thus listed separately, each at the end of their families, but had been married one week before the official census date of 1 June 1850.

In 1860, John Rumsey was still living at home in New London, a farm laborer aged 21. Also in New London was William Porter 36, a farmer with $1000 in real estate and $200 in personal property. His wife Adaline was 28, and their two sons were Emery L. aged 9, and Benjamin "L." (as I copied it) aged 4 years.

The 1870 census of New London gave John Rumsey as aged 30, a farmer with $3600 in real estate and $785 in personal property. His wife Adeline was 35, and with them was Frank "Rumsey" aged 14, who would be Adeline's son Benjamin Porter of the 1860 census. They also had an 18 year old domestic servant.

On 27 Jan 1873, John Rumsey and his wife Adeline conveyed to Emery Porter land in Huron Co which had been deeded to Adeline Rumsey by Walter Sutfin, administrator on the estate of William Porter (LR 26:399) (His probate has not been checked.)

In 1880, John Rumsey was in Norwalk, living on Charles Sayles Road. He was 38 and just a laborer this time. His present wife Lucinda was 26, born in Ohio of English parents. They had two daughters - Emma 2 years old, and Daisy 3 months old.

Emery Porter was a farmer in New London Tp at age 29. He had a wife Eva who was 21, and a daughter Maud 11 months old.

John and Lucinda were by themselves in the 1900 census of Wakeman, Huron Co, their ages greatly understated as 53 and 40 respectively. They had been married 22 years, and both their children were living.

The 1910 census of Wakeman listed John and Lucinda Rumsey as short even more years. John's age was given as 58 and Lucinda's as 47, the number of years married as 25. Identification is certain however, for John's mother was born in Connecticut, and both of Lucinda's parents were English. Both of their children were living. But it reported that John had been married only once.

There was no probate indexed in Huron Co for John W. Rumsey. When Lucinda Rumsey of Wakeman died intestate in 1936, the only heir listed was her daughter Emma Byron of Wakeman, Ohio. (PR File 11495) 		Rumsey, John W. (I10077)
 
444 Jonas Rumsey served in The Line, Fifth Regt., Col. Lewis Duboys; in The Levies, Col. Frederick Weisenfels; in the Orange Co Militia, 4th Regt. (p.58,73, 166). (Roberts: New York in the Revolution.)

Jonas Rumsey applied to the U. S. House of Representatives twice for a pension (April 1820 and 24 March 1824) but received an adverse report from the Pension Commission both times. (House of Representatives: House List of Private Claims, First to Thirty-first Congress (1853), Vol.3:245)

The only source for the children of Jonas4 Rumsey is a letter from Mrs. Lillias Rumsey Sanford (LRS) to his grandson James A. Rumsey, Grand Rapids, Mich, 1900 (from a copy loaned by Mrs. James R. Rumsey in 1959): She said, in part:

I am very glad to have your letter, because it helps me to place you just where I supposed you belonged, it only needed the names of some of your aunts to be sure of it, [unfortunately without saying what she knows of those aunts - JR]. I have the following record. Daniel Rumsey of Orange Co. had two sons, Jesse and Jonas. Jonas was born about 1750 but I do not know the date of his marriage or the name of his wife, but would very much like to know. They had a number of children, the names are as follows:-
Rachel, no record of her Hector
Fannie, she married her cousin Jeremiah Rumsey Charles
Jerusha Eliza
Daniel A. Cecelia
Jonas Ruth

In my record it says that Ruth married James A. Anderson and went to Canandaigua. If I can get the address of Mrs. Castle I will write her, do you know it?
My record says that your grandfather Jonas died in N. Y. City. Jonas was a Revolutionary soldier in Capt. Denton's Company, he enlisted March 1, 1776 and was in the army for a long time as was his brother Jesse....
Now Jonas your grandfather was a son of Daniel Rumsey. I do not know who Daniel married and he had, so far as I know but two sons Jesse and Jonas...

In the 1800 census of Blooming Grove, Orange Co, NY, Jonas Rumsey and his wife were both over 45, and had only one female with them who was under 10.

In 1810 there was a Jonas Rumsey in Wallkill, Orange Co, having 3 boys and 1 girl under 10, 1 female 16-25, 1 female 26-44, and 1 male 45 or over. Perhaps his son Jonas and family were with him? His son Daniel was of Blooming Grove when he was married in 1811. In 1813, a Jonas Rumsey family was in the 26th School District of Wawayanda, then in Minisink.

In 1820 in Blooming Grove, Jonas Rumsey and his wife were both over 45, and with them were 2 females, one who was under 10, the other 10-15.

These enumerations are hard to match up with the family of Jonas4 Rumsey as outlined by Mrs. Sanford. Jonas Rumsey was not indexed in 1830 or 1840 in NY.

In 1850, Jesse Rumsey was 60, living in Canandaigua with James Anderson Jr and his wife Ann. The will of Jesse Rumsey was dated 24 March 1853, and probated at Canandaigua, Ontario Co, 22 Feb 1859, giving the date of his death. He requested that he be buried in Canandaigua where his brother Daniel was
buried. The only other names mentioned were his "brother-in-law James Anderson and Marie Ann Anderson his [2nd] wife of Canandaigua." He named as Executor James Anderson, son of the above, and the witnesses were William Anderson, who had died before the will was probated, and O. W. Taylor. (PR Wills M:278). 		Rumsey, Jonas (I5148)
 
445 Joshua Rumsey was in the town of New Cornwall, Orange Co, NY, in the 1790 census, having with him only 1 male under 16, and 1 female. He was not indexed in the 1800 census.

In 1810 Joshua was in Ulster Co, NY, listed near his brother Nathaniel in Marbletown. The household consisted of 2 males and 4 females under 10, 1 male and 1 female 10-15, 1 male and 2 females 16-25, and the parents who were 26-44. This matches the family listed above, except that Jemima belonged in the next-older group.

In 1820 Joshua was listed in Colchester, Delaware Co, NY, where he had 1 male and 2 females 10-15, 1 male 16-18 and another 19-25, 2 females 16-25, and 1 male and 1 female over 45. Their son Ebenezer S. was near by.

Letters of Administration on the estate of Joshua Rumsey of Colchester, Delaware Co, NY, were granted 24 April 1827 to Ebenezer S. Rumsey. (Gertrude A. Barber: Letters of Administration of Delaware Co. 1797-1875, pt.1:26) A personal check of the probate files revealed no further papers, other than a small inventory of the estate.

In 1830 Rachel Runsey headed the household in Colchester, with 1 male and 1 female 20-29, 2 females 30-39, and she was in her 70s. Her son Simon J. K. Rumsey was near her, and her son Ebenezer S. was in neighboring Walton Tp.

In 1840 Rachel was in her 80s, and had 1 male in his 30s, and 1 female in her 40s with her. Son Simon J. K. was in Walton Tp.

A Delaware Co deed dated 20 Dec 1849 shows Elnathan Rumsey of Dix, Chemung Co [later Schuyler o], received a Quit Claim from Henry Dan and his wife Calista, James C. Wilson and Sarah, Samuel L., Jemima and Mary Rumsey, John Wilson and his wife Milley, Joshua Wilson - all of Colchester, and Stephen Williams and his wife Hannah of Veteran, Chemung Co. This was for land in Colchester formerly owned by Joshua Rumsey dec'd, part of Lot #18 in subdivision 64, Great Lot #36, Hardenburgh Patent - "further description shown by deed to dec'd", (that deed not located by me - JR). (LR 34:387)

Rachel must have died before 1850, for Samuel L. Ramsey headed the household in Colchester. He was 41, a farmer with $l000 in real estate. With him were his two unmarried sisters, Mary aged 50 and Jemimah aged 44, as well as Isabel Jenkins aged 34 who was probably a domestic servant. A few pages later were listed "Samuel" J. K. Ramsey and his wife Maranda, near Peter and Sarah Bogart, Miranda's parents.

On 24 March 1851, Elnathan Rumsey of Dix, Stephen Williams and his wife Hannah of Veteran, Samuel L. Rumsey, Mary Rumsey and "Jeremiah" Rumsey of Colchester, conveyed to Nathan R. and John H. Purdy all of 10 elevenths in the same lot as above ("surveyed by Cockburn in the year 1788"), known as the Old Rumsey farm. The name of Jemima Rumsey with her mark, among the signatures, corrects the error of her name as Jeremiah in the body of the deed. (LR37:453)

In the 1855 State census, in the 2nd District of Dix, Schuyler Co, Samuel L. Rumsey, aged 43, headed a household which contained his sisters Mary Rumsey 61 and Jemima Rumsey 54, all said to have been born in Delaware Co, which is incorrect. Listed two dwellings above was their brother Elnathan Rumsey.

Samuel, Mary and Jemima were again together in the 1860 census of Dix, their ages 56, 66 and 60. Samuel owned $1000 in real estate and $300 in personal property. Dwellings listed in sequence were headed by William H. Rumsey (son of Elnathan), Jonathan Owen, Samuel Rumsey, David Rumsey (another
son of Elnathan), and Elnathan Rumsey (#117).

In 1865, Samuel Rumsey was 62, Mary 70 and Jemimah 63, in Dix, Schuyler Co. All had been born in Delaware Co. (census from Doug.B.Rumsey 1997)

Jemima Rumsey. My friend Marguerite Rumsey had copied her gs as d 15 May 1867 ae 68.2.28, which gave her a bdate of ca 17 Feb 1799, which was possible. The Montour Lib. version has 5 May 1869 ae 68 which = b 1801. In 1850 she was 44 (b 1806), in 1855 ae 54 (b 1799), in 1860 ae 60 (b 1800), in 1865 ae 63 (b 1802). They do indeed vary! The previous child, Hannah, was b ca 1797.

The one who followed her was b betw 1801-04. She married John Wilson. But there was another dau who had a child Joshua R. Wilson by John Wilson, b ca 1822, the mother's name and date I do not have. Going back to Jemima, I suppose Marguerite might have copied the gs wrong for date of death. Guess I'll have to put the Montour Lib listing in as an alternative.

Family records received from James Spencer Rumsey gave the name of Joshua Rumsey's wife as Rachel Stephens, corresponding with the 1789 marriage record found in the New Windsor church, though another source had said she was Dina Stephenson. Since he left a widow Rachel, it would appear that "Dina
Stephenson" is incorrect.

Attempting to identify the Wilsons in the 1849 deed above, the 1850 census of Colchester, NY, had James C. Wilson and his wife Sarah aged 69, and John Wilson and his wife Millacent aged 49. The only Joshua Wilson found there was aged 28, with John and Millacent. He was listed in the 1855 census as Joshua R. Wilson aged 33, and had a wife Lettie G. 21. The only way I can see how he would be involved in the deed as an heir of Joshua, as apparently all the others were, would be as the son of another daughter who was deceased. It therefore seems possible that John Wilson had married first another Rumsey girl, and that John's second wife Millacent was Joshua's aunt as well as his step-mother. Joshua Wilson would not have been included in that deed had his mother been alive, so he could not be Millacent's child, and was apparently the
only child of that unknown daughter. 		Rumsey, Joshua (I5056)
 
446 Listed within a few dwellings of several Nowland families in the 1880 census of Huron Tp, Wayne Co, was Samuel Scott 63, farmer, whose 61 year old wife had the distinctive name of Mahala. CWW had reported a daughter of William and Elizabeth Nowland named Mahalia, with no dates or husband. I have no proof that Mahala Scott had been a Nowland, but it is a reasonable guess. With them were two children - Emma 21, and Michael 19 who was possibly named for Mahala's brother. Mahala's parents were born in NY and Pa, which should be reversed if they were the Nowlands.

Checking the 1850 census, Samuel and Mahala Scott were found in the town of Redford, Wayne Co. He was a carpenter with $600 in real estate, at age 32. Mahala's age was given as 38, which may be wrong as it does not match her age in 1880 which appears to be more logical. With them were Susan 9, Rosetta 7, Josephine 6, Lucy 5, James H. 4, Luelena(?) 2, and an unnamed daughter who was 4 months old.

The parents were not found in 1860. But in Redford, Rosette Scott aged 18 was a domestic for Thomas Stalker, a methodist minister aged 30 and his wife C. M. 29; Josephine Scott 17 was a domestic for Jonathan Wright 34 and his wife Elizabeth 30; Lucy Scott 15 was with David Hougeman 47 and his wife Elmira 42.

1870 has not been searched for the Scott family.

In Huron Tp, Wayne Co, in 1900, James Scott was a farmer aged 52. He had been married 28 years to Emma R. who was 48 and had borne two children, both living. With them was only their son William who was 19.

Michael Scott was in Huron also, at age 39 a farmer like his brother. His wife Mary was 33, and they had been married 11 years. Their four children were Charles, Walter, Raymond and Bennie. 		Scott, Samuel (I10242)
 
447 Loren Rumsey was 21 in the 1850 census of Clarksfield, Huron Co, Ohio, a farmer living with Augustus Barrett 36 and his wife Clarissa 35. Mary White was in New London at age 16, with her parents Ford and Betsey White. With them was also their daughter Adeline (White) Porter who later married Loren's brother, John W. Rumsey.

In 1860, Loren was back in New London aged 32. His wife Mary was 26, and their baby boy was 1 month old, his name illegible, but looking more like Jeremiah than Elmer. Also in the household was a 19 year old school teacher. (The entire entry is out of focus on the film.)

In 1870 L. W. Rumsey was 40, a farmer with $3100 in real estate and $850 in personal property. Mary W. was 36, and their son Elmer was 10. They also had a domestic servant and a farm laborer.

In 1880, Loren and Mary E. Rumsey of New London Tp were aged 52 and 46. Elmer was 20 and working on the farm, and had brought home his 18 year old bride, Mary Amanda, to live with his parents.

Loren died intestate in 1899. His obituary said he had moved to Ohio with his parents from Jerusalem, NY, in the spring of 1837. He was survived by sisters Mrs. Mary Adams and Mrs. Kate Chandler of Norwalk, and brother John Rumsey of Wakeman; also nephews Lewis C. Chandler of Fitchville, J.G. Hoffstatter of Toledo, Fred H. Chandler of Bronson, C.C. Chandler of Norwalk, E.H. Chandler of Fairfield, and Frank Coleman of New London. (Frank Coleman was a cousin of Loren's wife, not his nephew - FWR) His only son had died the preceeding year.

His widow, Mary E. W. Rumsey, applied for Letters of Administration, listing the heirs as grandsons Frank W. and Loren E. Rumsey of New London. Petition for Sale of Real Estate showed Frank W. to be a minor over 14, and Loren E. under 14, both living with Amanda Rumsey at 102 High St, New London Village. (PR File 3897)

In the 1900 census, Mary E. W. Rumsey was listed in New London Village as a widow and a farmer, aged 66, having had only one child who was now dead. With her were her daughter-in-law Mary A. Rumsey, and two grandsons Frank W. and Loran E. Rumsey, called nephews. (Census list typed with #60-45)

In 1910, widow Mary E. W. Rumsey was living with her sister Elizabeth and her husband Joseph A. Coleman. She was 76, and her only child was dead.

The obituary for Mary E. Rumsey in 1914 said she died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Case. The probate of her estate listed her grandsons Frank and Loren Rumsey as her heirs, both still in New London. (PR File 6047) 		Rumsey, Loren W. (I10068)
 
448 Martha Rumsey was 15 years old in the 1860 census of Lee Twp, Fulton Co, Ill.

Daniel Buck was 20 in 1850, in Cass Twp, Fulton Co, Ill, and 28 in 1860 in Prairie City Twp, McDonough Co, Ill, with his father Peter and brother Henry in both enumerations. Bushnell was formed from Prairie City in 1865.

In the 1870 census of Bushnell, McDonough Co, (next to Lee in Fulton Co), farmer Daniel Buck was 40, with $2000 in real estate and $700 in personal property, the same amounts credited to Henry Buck next door. With him were his wife Martha aged 26, and daughters Della G. 3 and Hattie D. 1 year old. There was also an 18 year old farm hand.

In the 1872 estate of her mother, Mary Rumsey of Lee Twp, and of her father Timothy Rumsey in 1874, Martha Buck of Bushnell was included among the heirs.

In 1880, Daniel and Martha Buck were in Smoky Hill Twp, Saline Co, Kans. He was a farmer aged 49, she was 35,, and they had Dovy 12, Hatty 10, Charles 8, John 6, Edward 4, Lilly 2 and an infant son 4 months old, born in Jan in Kansas, the others all born in Illinois.

In the 1900 census of Saline Co, Daniel and Martha C. Buck were 69 and 56. Still at home in Smokey Hill Twp were Frank 20, George L. 17, Della 9. There was a farm laborer Archie (whose surname was omitted in my notes). He was 17, from W.V.

Next door was John Buck aged 17, alone. And next to him were Charley and Maud Buck, ages 19 and 20, who had a son Everett 9 months old. With them was Charley's brother Eddie Buck, 25, farm laborer.

In Elm Creek Twp, the family of Henry W. and Hatty D. Hollis included their son William H. who was 5 years old.

In Pleasant Valley Twp was Joseph Rassett 30, whose father was French-Canadian and mother was Swiss. He had been married less than a year to Lillie who was 22. There were no children.

Daniel Buck died of heart failure 19 Sept 1905, at his home 3 miles northwest of Salina, and was buried in Gypsum Hill cemetery. He had settled in Saline Co 27 years before, on the farm where he died. He was born in Crawford Co, PA, and at age 7 moved with his family to McDonald [sic] Co, Ill. Mrs. Buck had been injured two weeks before his death by a run-away, but had recovered. He was survived by 9 children: Mrs. O.S.Wyand, eldest daughter, of DeSoto, Kans; Mrs. Hattie Hollis and Charles W.Buck near Salina, John Buck near Culver, Ed Buck of Salina, Mrs. Lillie Rassette living temporarily with her parents, having lived in Lincoln Co until her husband was hired by the railroad; Frank, George and Della all lived at home. (Salina Evening Journal of 20 Sep 1905)

In the 1910 census of Smokey Hill Twp, Saline Co (D278,F280, from AMF), widow Martha Buck was 66. All 9 of her children were living. With her were Frank M. 20, George L. 17, and Della M. 19.

Mrs. Martha Charlotte Buck died 21 Nov 1918 at age 74, while spending the evening at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Hattie D. Hollis, where another daughter was visiting, Mrs. Della Kralik of Hoisington. She was born in Huron Co, OH, Jan 8[sic] 1844, and came to Saline Co 41 years ago. Her husband, Daniel Buck, had died 13 years ago.

She was survived by one sister, Mrs. Tom Tally of Salina, [also by another sister, Mary L.(Rumsey)(Buck) Shoemaker #60-15], and children: Mrs. Glida E. Wiard of Kansas City, MO, Mrs. Hattie D. Hollis, Charles, John and Eddie B. Buck and Mrs. Lillie B. Rassette of Salina, Frank who was living at home, George D. of Arlington, CO, and Mrs. Della Kralik of Hoisington. (Salina Daily Union of 21 Nov 1918) 		Rumsey, Martha Charlotte (I10090)
 
449 Mary "A." Rumsey was 10 years old in the 1850 census of Cass Tp, Fulton Co, Ill, and 20 (with no middle initial) in the 1860 census of Lee Tp, Fulton Co. (BG reported the middle initial A. again in 1860, but there was none on the microfilm. See below for S. and L. initials.)

Family tradition said the Buck family came from Crawford Co, Pa. In the 1830 census of Sadsbury Tp, Crawford Co, were Peter and Daniel Buck, listed 11 lines apart on the same page. Daniel was in his 20s and had only 1 boy under 5, and no wife. Peter was in his 30s and had 2 boys under 5, who could have been his sons Henry and Daniel.

The family of Peter Buck was in Fulton Co, Ill, in 1840, he and his wife 30-39. The 1850 census listed him in Cass Tp at age 50, with a wife Gabil aged 38. The eldest of his children at home were Henry 24 and Daniel 20, a gap of 5 years, then 4 children in close succession ending with Lidia aged 11. Birthplaces show they came to Illinois from Pennsylvania between 1836 and 1838.

In 1860, in Prairie City Tp, McDonough Co, Peter Buck was 60, his wife this time was Polly aged 40, Henry was now "30" and Daniel "28". Next was Lidia 20, followed only by John aged 9. Thus it appears that Peter had a first wife who was mother of Henry and Daniel, that Gabil was a second wife, and Polly a third or probably the same as Gabil. (The town of Bushnell was formed from Prairie City in 1865.)

(A "Mr.Buck" is listed in 1864 as having dug the grave in Lee Tp, Fulton Co, Ill, for Jane Sexton, mother-in-law of Robert G. Rumsey. Which Mr.Buck?)

Henry and Mary Buck were in Bushnell in 1870. Henry was a farmer with $2000 in real estate and $700 in personal property. He was 44, Mary was 30, and with them were Daniel 7, Dolly 4, Lewis 2, and Rose aged 6 months, born in January. Daniel Buck (#60-17) was next door. (A 19th century map [after 1865] shows D.Buck, H.Buck, and Peter Buck Est occupying the NW 1/4 of Section 26, NE of the village of Bushnell.) In the 1872 probate of her mother, and in that of her father in 1874, Mary "S." (as copied by BG) Buck of Bushnell was included among the heirs. (In her marriage record and in the 1880 census her middle
initial was L.) (Polly Buck was 68 in the 1880 census of Bushnell, living with her married son (i.e. step-son) Joseph 44. He had been 14 in 1850, when Peter's wife was called Gabil.

In 1880 Henry Buck was a farmer in Barnes Co, Dakota Territory, in Town 139 Range 56. (Barnes Co was formed from Cass Co 1875. Tower City is on the county line between them.) He was 54, his wife Mary L. was 40, and their children were Dolly 14, John L. 12, Rosa M. 10, Allie 8, and Lillie M. 2 years old. A Henry Buck died in Bushnell, Ill, in December 1887. AMF reported from "Newspaper Abstracts from Mcdonough Co IL Vol.3 pg 108: Thursday December 8, 1887 Henry Buck died at his home in Bushnell last Monday ae 63 y." (italics mine). This would place his death on 5 Dec, and his birth as 1824. In another McDonough Co Historical Society book he found: "Henry Buck died and was buried in the Bushnell Cemetery, date 1 Dec 1887." It would seem that he and Mary had separated, since he was in SD in 1880, and his daughter was married there in 1889. But the deceased had a home in Bushnell in 1887. Henry and Mary Buck are thought to have been Catholics.

An article on the death of Henry Buck was found by Jolene in the Bushnell Record of Friday, Dec 2, 1887, placinjg his death as 28 Nov. ae ca 60:

Henry Buck died suddenly last Monday Night sometime. He was at
Jonathon Haven's place, west of this city a short distance. Monday he
showed no symptoms of sickness and said nor did nothing to indicate
that he felt worse than usual. He ate his supper and retired as
usual, but did not come down to breakfast on Tuesday morning. When
someone went to see what was the matter he was found lying on his side
apparently sleeping naturally, but it was his last, long sleep. He
was dead. He was left just as he died and coroner Hinman summoned.
The coroner impaneled a jury, whose verdict was that Mr. Buck came to
his death from natural causes to them unknown. No post mortem
examination was made, and it is supposed he died from heart disease,
although he had not before been known to be affected by such a
malady. Mr. Buck was probably nearly 60 years of age, and lived in
and about Bushnell for years. He was esteemed as an honest, upright
man, but his life had been marred by the hand of misfortune. He
leaves two brothers, Joseph and John, and two sisters, Mrs. Eli Brown
and one living in Chicago.

AMF noted that the 2 brothers were half brothers, from Peter Buck's 2nd marriage, and Mrs. Eli Brown was a half sister. The sister in Chicago was Hester Buck Weller.

Widow Mary L. Buck was in the 1900 census of Mason City, Cerro Gordo Co, IA, living on E. State St. She was 60 and had borne 7 children, 5 of whom were living. With her were her son William H. 19, born in SD, and a 63-year-old roomer.

The marriage license of Mary to Shoemaker was dated 14 Jan 1904, followed by the marriage certificate of 17 Jan, which was witnessed by Dollie Quine and Lewis Buck, two of Mary's children living in Platte where the marriage took place.

When Robert Gordon7 Rumsey died in Nebraska in 1907, his sister Mary Buck of Platte SD came to the funeral, the only member of Robert's family who had contact with them since he left Illinois.

Following her marriage to Franklin Shoemaker, "Mary and Franklin farmed in the Portland area near [SE of] Mason City IA and they lived in Academy SD according to Ruth Buck Smith. I have a postcard from Ethel Blanche Frie to her grandma, Mrs. Rev. Frank Shoemaker, Academy, S. Dak. It was mailed from Kalamazoo on Nov. 3, 1909. Academy is northwest of Platte SD." (Family information had formerly placed the Shoemaker marriage in Tower City. See her obituary below. - JR) In the 1910 census of Platte Tp, Charles Mix Co, SD, Franklin Shoemaker was 77, Mary L. was 70, and they had been married 7 years. The number of her children was not shown.

Mrs. Franklin Shoemaker passed away at the home of her son, Lewis
Buck, on 13 October 1919. Mary Rumsey was born 27 March 1840 at
Toledo, Ohio. She was united in marriage to Henry Buck 4 October 1861.
They had seven children - three boys, four girls. After the death
of her husband in 1878 [sic], Mrs.Buck moved to Tower City, [Cass Co],
North Dakota. Then moved to Mason City, Iowa, later moving to Platte,
South Dakota, where she met and married Franklin Shoemaker on 18
January 1903. They made their home there until her death.
She leaves to morn her aged husband. Three daughters: Dollie Quine,
Platte SD, Mrs. Myrtle Frie, Kalamazoo MI, Mrs. Rose Brady, Shell Lake
WI. Her sons: William Buck, Eldora IA, Lewis Buck, Platte SD.
(obit originally from Edna Buck Wojclechowski, thru Ruth Virginia
Buck Smith, who sent a hand written copy to AMF.)

From a 1921 Platte, ND, paper, MRH copied the following obituary for Franklin:

Franklin Shumaker passed away at the home of his daugher, Mrs.
George Hockey of Douglas county, Tuesday afternoon [23 Sep - MRH].
Funeral services were held Thursday from the Christian church of
Platte, at 2pm. Burial was at Platte Cemetery.
Franklin Shumaker was born in Geneva, Ohio, Jan. 18, 1832. When 12
years of age his mother died and he was raised in the home of a
minister. He moved with them to Illinois and when about 20 years of
age he became a minister of the Church of Christ and preached during
the whole of his active manhood. Soon after entering the ministry he
married and became the father of 7 children. One son John died at the
age of 21 and one in infancy, the remaining five are still living.
Thirty-two years ago he moved with his family to SD and made his
home in Olivet [Hutchinson Co], SD and later Scotland [Bon Homme Co],
SD. His [2nd] wife died January 12, 1895. 22 years ago he came to
Charles Mix County with his daughter, Mrs. G.P.Harben, and made his
home with her for years.
In January 1904 he was united in marriage to Mrs. Mary Buck. They
lived on a farm west of Platte for a number of years. 2 years ago
Mrs. Shumaker died, since that time Mr. Shumaker has made his home
with his children.
He leaves 17 grandchildren and five great grandchildren and the
following sons and daughters. Charles Shumaker, Olivet, SD, Mrs. G.P.
Harben, Moore Haven, Fla., Milton Shumaker, Alexander, SD, Mrs. Sadie
Doescher, Tampa, Fla., Mrs. Geo. Hockey, Platte, SD.

MRH noted there were some discrepancies in the above. She also said that Franklin Shoemaker was in the 1870 census of Peoria Co, Ill. In 1880, in Orion Twp, Fulton Co, Ill, Franklin was 49, Lorena 42, and with them were Lillian, Sadie, Milton and Amanda. He was a farmer. [She gave the 1870 census as reference for the two older boys, John and Charles ages 9 and 7, who must have been living elsewhere in 1880.] In 1900, in the Village of Belden, Cedar County, Neb, Franklin was 55, a minister, had 6 children, 4 living. [This data was usually given only for wives, but his had died]. Only Amanda was with him at age 27. 		Rumsey, Mary L. (I10086)
 
450 Moses Nowland was a lawyer, storekeeper, and a member of the State Legislature 1865-66. His 2nd wife Elizabeth had been his housekeeper. (CWW)

In 1860, Moses Nowland was 31, a merchant in Huron, Wayne Co, with $1500 in real estate and $1000 in personal property. His wife Louisa was 23, and their three children were Ada 5, Ella 4, and Almon 11 months

The 1870 census of Huron Tp listed Moses R. Nowland as a merchant with $6000 in real estate, and $6000 in personal property which undoubtedly represented the merchandise in his store. (Perhaps some of his real estate was inherited from his father who had died two years before.) He was 42, his wife Louisa was 35, and with them were "Ida" 15, Ella 14, Almond 11 & Eliza Jane 7.

In 1880, Moses R. and Loisa Nowland were alone in the Village of New Boston, Huron Tp. He was a lawyer aged 52, Loisa was 45.

In the 1900 census of New Boston, Moses Nowland was again listed as a lawyer. He was now 72, and his new wife Elizabeth was only 21, her father born in England, her mother in Germany. They had been married 4 years and had two children; Golday who was 3, and Moses R. who was not quite 2 years old. They had two boarders - a 50 year old widower named Thomas Wells, who had come from England as a boy in 1859 and was listed as a day laborer. (Probably Elizabeth's father, though not so designated.) The other was a 15 year old Michigan boy. 		Nowland, Moses Rumsey (I10254)
