510	(Research):A DAR application mistakingly showed Eleanor marrying Timothy Galloway, but this is believed to be incorrect as church records show that Eleanor in fact married a Rockefeller.	Mapes, Eleanor (I5344)
511	(Research):All but one account of John Robinson and Lucy Moore's marriage state that they had no children.	Robinson, John (I2604)
512	(Research):An unaccounted for William is listed on the 1850 census of James' brother Hance, but the age of 14 does not point to it being this individual.	Skillin, William (I7957)
513	(Research):As pointed out by Shelford, "James is a common name in the family. A James Rumsey received a grant of land in Vermont (Recorded in Albany) for service in the French and Indian War. Who was he? [1764, Jan. 16 - Petition of Lts..., James Rumsey,...praying a grant of 16,000 acres of land on the Otter Creek, on the east side of Lake Champlain. (Calendar of N.Y. Colonial Manuscripts - Indorsed Land Papers 1743-1803 (pub. by Weed Parsons & Co 1864), p.383)] "There were two James Rumseys in the Cornwall township census of 1790, both with three male children under 16; one of these was James, son of Simon III [#23], (whose name was given as Joseph in Mrs. Freeman's list). James, son of Phineas [#44], had returned from Nova Scotia in 1786 but was supposed to have stayed with his father for some time. In 1790 he was not in Ulster County, where he went later. Some of Phineas's grandchildren must have been with him to give three males under 16 years in 1790. "A James Rumsey was 1st Lieutenant in John Morin Scott's provincial brigade recruited in Ulster, Suffolk and Orange Counties in 1776." (National Archives Folder #95-1 (page stamped #8, written #61), Ser. M246, Roll 73 - "Col Samuel Drake's Regt - 3rd Regt. of ? , Col Drake Commanding. 1st Lieut James Rumsey on command after cloathing for the men, Oct. 5, 1776." This may be the Lt. of the Vermont land grant - JR) "There was also a James in the Dutchess militia during the Revolution." (Roberts; New York in the Revolution, p.153,240) "There was a James Rumsey in the Haverstraw Militia [then Orange Co, now Rockland Co] during the Revolution, where Elizabeth Rumsey was enumerated in the 1790 census with no adult male in the household [but one under 16], and a total of four females." So James3 was probably dead. If living in 1796, he would have joined Elizabeth in the Osborn deed below. There was also an unidentified James Rumsey in the 1810 census of Monroe, Orange Co, who was over 45. With him were three males and one female under 10, one female 16-25, and one female 26-44. James³ (#10) was presumed dead by 1790. It can't be James⁴ (#23) for he was listed in Ulysses, Cayuga Co, in 1810. And James4 (#44) was in Ulster Co. None of the above military records have been specifically identified with James, the son of Simon² Rumsey, who seems to have married rather late in life, perhaps because of an early military career. He was probably already 21 when he first appeared in court in 1754,	Rumsey, James (I5069)
514	(Research):Charles was still living at the time of his brother William's death.	Whiting, Charles Talbot (I8378)
515	(Research):Deeds of Simon Rumsey listed in Town of Southold, Long Island (p. 114) by Charles B. Moore (1868), include: ("(A)" means in Aquebogue) 1699 - from Joseph Wickham (A) 1699 - from Samuel Wines Nov 2, 1699 - from Joshua Hobart (A) Nov 15, 1699 - from Joshua Hobart 1711 - from Stephen Bayler (A) 1711 - to John Armstrong (A) 1713/14 - to Thomas Shaw (A), 4 acres 1714 - from Charles Booth (A) 1717 - from Joshua Hempstead; to T. Talman (A) land in his possession 1718 - from Israel Parshall, land on Peconic River Southold Town Records, edited by J. Wickham Case (Vol 2:271, none in Vol.1), has deeds to Simon Rumsey on pp 337, 378, 379, 380, 371, and he witnessed a deed from Samuel King to Israel and David Parshall, 18 Feb 1701/2. In the deed of 2 Nov 1699 Simon Rumsey was termed a mariner. He was one of the founders of Gnat Farms (VES). The Diary of Joshua Hempstead of New London, Conn., published by the New London County Historical Society, Vol.1 (1901), showed the following: p.54 1716, Wedensd. 28 [March] - I Went to Southampton to Court with Simon Rumsey. Thursd. 29th.- we agreed with Simon Rumsey to give him ¶290 to be pd ¶100 in april 1717 & ye Rest when wee Receive ye farm wch may be any time within 4 years as he Shall See Cause he giving us 6 months Notice p.76 1718, Wednesd. 16 [April] - I came from Easthampton to Southold & Brother Tallmage with me. he Tarryed there till Saturday following. he & I pay unto 1-3 part of wt is due to Rumsey yr being yet due L115. Symon Rumsey's name is entered as Ramsey in the Salmon records and in the recording of his will, but as Rumsey in the Hempstead diary.	Rumsey, Symon (I4927)
516	(Research):Derrick's Blevins-Morelock Ancestry family tree states her last name to be Waddle.	[Unknown], Beulah (I7620)
517	(Research):Henry Slade died at the age of 15.	Slade, Henry (I1476)
518	(Research):I have not been able to find any information concerning Fred Rumsey as an adult. This, coupled with the fact that he is not present in the family photograph taken about 1895, leads me to believe that he must have died at a young age.	Rumsey, Fred (I4923)
519	(Research):In 1900, only five of Elizabeth's seven children were still living.	Paynter, Elizabeth (I958)
520	(Research):In the 1870 census, there is a Samuel McConnell listed adjacent to John. Could this be his brother?	McConnell, John S. (I4922)
521	(Research):In the 1900 census there is a Thomas W. Ballou, married to Alice S., who may be the oldest child of Charles Wesley Ballow and Judith Woodson McGraw.	Ballow, Thomas W. (I8101)
522	(Research):It is assumed that Irene was first married to Mr. Anderson based on the fact that this is shown as her last name on the 1900 census, though she is listed as being widowed. The estimated date for this marriage comes from the 1930 census where Irene states her age to be 22 at the time of her first marriage.	Ballou, Irene Huntington (I6668)
523	(Research):It is not know who the 14 year old William Skillin is that is living with Hance and his family in the 1850 census.	Skillin, Hance (I6115)
524	(Research):It is not known what became of Abigail. There is no mention or record of her that has been found.	Rumsey, Abigail (I5077)
525	(Research):It is presumed that "Alexander Skillen" listed on the 1900 census must be in error and corresponds to Ella Dover. The fact that her sister and brother are with them (as they were in the 1895, 1905 and 1910 census) and the dates matching points to this being some type of error on the census taker's part.	Dover, Ella G. (I4689)
526	(Research):It may be that James' will was sent for probate in 1866, but he actually died in 1870?	McConnell, James (I5325)
527	(Research):James Skillin does not appear in the 1858 New York City Business Directory, so he must have moved to Mt. Morris between 1854 and 1858.	Skillin, James (I6098)
528	(Research):Julian was a tobacconist for the Imperial Tobacco Co.	Abbitt, Julian Hamner (I7661)
529	(Research):Louise Beverly Jones' grandmother and her family received Bounty Lands for his service.	Smallwood, Capt. Heaberd (I8111)
530	(Research):Mary was still living at the time of her son William's death.	Dawley, Mary Eliza (I8376)
531	(Research):Name: Aaron J. Cass Location 2: r 834 Walker Occupation: teamster Year: 1889, 1890 City: Kansas City State: KS	Cass, Aaron Jefferson (I6089)
532	(Research):On 19 Dec 1829, John Million was the executor of David Lamon's estate.	Million, John (I21937)
533	(Research):Ruthie is found living next to her parents in Frankfort during the 1930 census, but it is unclear if her husband George is the same man as Nathaniel, or these are two different marriages. Also, the children listed with her (Bert and Milton) do not correspond to any of the children known to be from Ruthie and Nathaniel's marriage.	Scoville, Ruthie Allen (I6192)
534	(Research):See attached sources.	Rumsey, Nathaniel (I5057)
535	(Research):See attached sources.	Rumsey, Jesse (I5150)
536	(Research):See attached sources.	White, John (I7156)
537	(Research):See attached sources.	Smith, Lawrence (I8118)
538	(Research):Stephen Scoville was the youngest son of Arthur Scoville. As he was born some eight to twelve years after Arthur's son John was born about 1672, it has been conjectured that Stephen was not the son of Joanna, but of a second wife. This conjecture seems probably, but it should be understood that there is no documentary evidence that Arthur Scoville married a second time, nor any such evidence that a son Stephen was born to Arthur by such an alleged second wife. There is circumstantial evidence that Stephen was a son of Arthur: 1. Stephen named a son Arthur. 2. There is on record at Lyme a deed of Peter Pratt to Stephen Scoville of land in Lyme, dated 22 Dec 1715. This deed was witnessed by William Borden and Joanna Scoville. William Borden was the husband of Arthur's daughter Elizabeth. If we presume that Joanna Scoville was not Joanna, first wife of Arthur, but his granddaughter, born in 1689, daughter of John Scoville of Middletown. It seems strange that a young girl in Middletown should witness a deed execute in Lyme. If this identification is rejected, then Joanna must have been the wife of the first Arthur, and the conjecture of Arthur's second marriage falls to the ground. 3. When in 1735 Stephen (2) Scoville and James (3) Scoville of Wallingford-Meriden were associated in the purchase of a tract of land in Harwinton, James sold and Stephen gave the land to his son Ezekiel. THese facts show clearly that Stephen was included in the family circle, who seem to have had a strong family feeling.	Scoville, Stephen (I9434)
539	(Research):The 1865 census said that Mary Rumsey had had 10 children. The unknown ones are placed in the logical gaps, or where indicated by the census records.	Rumsey, Ebenezer (I5330)
540	(Research):The 1875 census lists this individual as C.H. Skillen, which likely stands for Charles Henry.	Skillin, Henry (I6093)
541	(Research):The 1900 census lists William and Edit as son and daughter of Isaac Newton Jones, but states that Louise had only had two children (one of which was living). This leads me to conclude that the other two children must have been from a previous marriage.	[Unknown], Ida S. (I6634)
542	(Research):The 1910 census lists Matilda's surname as Inhous, though there is no record of here being married to an Inhous.	Combs, Matilda G. (I6092)
543	(Research):The Ballow Bible states that William was born on a Sunday in April 1784, but the actual date is illegilble.	Ballow, William (I6675)
544	(Research):The California Birth Index lists Elaine's maiden name as Odrer.	McGerty, Elaine H. (I7966)
545	(Research):The Callan Family Tree Ancestry tree states her last name to be Boyd.	[Unknown], Leonara C. (I7619)
546	(Research):The childrens birth and death dates listed are from Victor E. Shelford. The following is a list of the family according to James Spencer Rumsey: Simon 1749 - 1771 Phoebe 4 Sep 1749 - 17 Jun 1820 John Sigler 1753 - 10 Aug 1829 David 1755 - 2 Jul 1829 Jonathan Dec 1757 - Mar 1834 Moses Jul 1758 James 4 Apr 1759 - 22 Aug 1842 Jemima 1762 - Ruth 12 May 1764 - 17 Aug 1841 Isaac 16 Sep 1765 - Nathan 8 Jul 1767 - 23 May 1817 Joshua 14 Jun 1768 - 27 Mar 1826 Nathaniel 1770 - Jeremiah 10 Oct 1772 - 21 Jul 1861 William 9 May 1774	Rumsey, Simon (I4936)
547	(Research):The claim of descent from Sir Thomas More as shown by genealogists in the William and Mary Quarterly in 1907 was later shown to be based on forged documents.	Moore, Col. Augustine (I2594)
548	(Research):The marriage of Daniel Corwin to Elizabeth Cleaves in Jan 1723 could refer to Mary's husband, her son, or another Daniel. Mather's Refugees says this was a second marriage for Mary's husband.	Rumsey, Mary (I4930)
549	(Research):The source from which this family's information comes from states that the compiler is not positive this Henry Mapes and his family was actually the son of Henry Mapes of Orange Co., NY. The marriage date of 27 Jul 1790 was given by the descendants of Henry Mapes and Sally McIlwain and, this being under 25 years from the birth date, he is assumed to be the same person.	Mapes, Henry (I5343)
550	(Research):The specific date of his marriage was not entered into the Salmon Record, but was placed between entries of 22 Feb and 12 Jun 1753.	Rumsey, Simon (I4932)

(Research):As pointed out by Shelford, "James is a common name in the family. A James Rumsey received a grant of land in Vermont (Recorded in Albany) for service in the French and Indian War. Who was he? [1764, Jan. 16 - Petition of Lts..., James Rumsey,...praying a grant of 16,000 acres of land on the Otter Creek, on the east side of Lake Champlain. (Calendar of N.Y. Colonial Manuscripts - Indorsed Land Papers 1743-1803 (pub. by Weed Parsons & Co 1864), p.383)]

"There were two James Rumseys in the Cornwall township census of 1790, both with three male children under 16; one of these was James, son of Simon III [#23], (whose name was given as Joseph in Mrs. Freeman's list). James, son of Phineas [#44], had returned from Nova Scotia in 1786 but was supposed to have stayed with his father for some time. In 1790 he was not in Ulster County, where he went later. Some of Phineas's grandchildren must have been with him to give three males under 16 years in 1790.

"A James Rumsey was 1st Lieutenant in John Morin Scott's provincial brigade recruited in Ulster, Suffolk and Orange Counties in 1776." (National Archives Folder #95-1 (page stamped #8, written #61), Ser. M246, Roll 73 - "Col Samuel Drake's Regt - 3rd Regt. of ? , Col Drake Commanding. 1st Lieut James Rumsey on command after cloathing for the men, Oct. 5, 1776." This may be the Lt. of
the Vermont land grant - JR)

"There was also a James in the Dutchess militia during the Revolution." (Roberts; New York in the Revolution, p.153,240)

"There was a James Rumsey in the Haverstraw Militia [then Orange Co, now Rockland Co] during the Revolution, where Elizabeth Rumsey was enumerated in the 1790 census with no adult male in the household [but one under 16], and a total of four females." So James3 was probably dead. If living in 1796, he would have joined Elizabeth in the Osborn deed below.

There was also an unidentified James Rumsey in the 1810 census of Monroe, Orange Co, who was over 45. With him were three males and one female under 10,
one female 16-25, and one female 26-44. James³ (#10) was presumed dead by 1790. It can't be James⁴ (#23) for he was listed in Ulysses, Cayuga Co, in
1810. And James4 (#44) was in Ulster Co.

None of the above military records have been specifically identified with James, the son of Simon² Rumsey, who seems to have married rather late in life, perhaps because of an early military career. He was probably already 21 when
he first appeared in court in 1754,

Southold Town Records, edited by J. Wickham Case (Vol 2:271, none in
Vol.1), has deeds to Simon Rumsey on pp 337, 378, 379, 380, 371, and he
witnessed a deed from Samuel King to Israel and David Parshall, 18 Feb 1701/2.
In the deed of 2 Nov 1699 Simon Rumsey was termed a mariner. He was one of the
founders of Gnat Farms (VES).

The Diary of Joshua Hempstead of New London, Conn., published by the New
London County Historical Society, Vol.1 (1901), showed the following:

538

(Research):Stephen Scoville was the youngest son of Arthur Scoville. As he was born some eight to twelve years after Arthur's son John was born about 1672, it has been conjectured that Stephen was not the son of Joanna, but of a second wife. This conjecture seems probably, but it should be understood that there is no documentary evidence that Arthur Scoville married a second time, nor any such evidence that a son Stephen was born to Arthur by such an alleged second wife. There is circumstantial evidence that Stephen was a son of Arthur:

1. Stephen named a son Arthur.

2. There is on record at Lyme a deed of Peter Pratt to Stephen Scoville of land in Lyme, dated 22 Dec 1715. This deed was witnessed by William Borden and Joanna Scoville. William Borden was the husband of Arthur's daughter Elizabeth. If we presume that Joanna Scoville was not Joanna, first wife of Arthur, but his granddaughter, born in 1689, daughter of John Scoville of Middletown. It seems strange that a young girl in Middletown should witness a deed execute in Lyme. If this identification is rejected, then Joanna must have been the wife of the first Arthur, and the conjecture of Arthur's second marriage falls to the ground.

3.
