  Notes	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) [2]
