  Notes	In 1850 Charles P. Rumsey was a hotel keeper in Chester, Orange Co., NY. He was 26, his wife Mary was 22, and with them were Ann Degraw, 14 years old, and Oliver Rumsey. It is not known who Ann is, though she may be related to the Degraws which are listed with his brother William E. Rumsey in the 1860 census. In the 1855 state census, Charles P. Rumsey was in the 3rd Election District of Warwick, having lived there 25 years (?). He was 31, his wife Mary was 26, a resident of Warwick for 4 years, as were her first two children: Oliver, 6, and Charles H., 4, followed by Royal who was 2 years old. At this time Charles was a farmer. His framed house was valued at $100. In the 1859 will of his father, Royal S. Rumsey, Oliver and Charles Rumsey, two sons of Charles P., were to receive $150 each, the interest to be paid to their father during his lifetime. Charles P. Rumsey was of Erin, Chemung Co., NY at the time of probate of his father's will on 19 Sep 1859, though he doesn't show up there in the 1860 census. When the wills of his two unmarried sisters, Annie E. and Phebe V. Rumsey were probated in 1878 and 1879, he was living in Maryville, Nodaway Co., MO. Charles P. Rumsey is in Paterson, Passaic Co., NJ in the 1860 census, and now doing farming at age 36. Mary was 31, and living with them are their four sons, Oliver E., 11, Chas. H., 8, Fred, 4 and Irving, 2. In Orange Co. deeds, on 11 Mar 1861, Mary E. Rumsey of Paterson, NJ, and her husband Charles Phineus Rumsey, sold to Charles and Ebenezer Seely of New York city, land in Sugar Loaf Village, Chester Township. This may have been the property in Sugar Loaf Village which had been deeded to Mary E. Rumsey of Warwick by Martin and Caroline Litchult of Chester. In 1870, Charles was 47, still farming, and had moved to Fayette Co., IA. Mary was now 42 and living with them were Oliver, 21, Fred, 13, Irvin, 11 and their two daughters Mary, 7, and Bertha, 4. Grace does not appear on the 1870 census, so Mary must have been pregnant with her at the time it was taken (6 Jul 1870). He was found in Polk Township, Nodaway Co., MO in the 1880 census, in that section which was "east of K.C. RR." C.P. Rumsey was a farmer, age 56, Mary A. was 52 and with them were C.H., 29, and Fred, 23, both farming and both born in NY, and daughters Mary E., 16, Bertha, 14, and Grace, 9, all born in IA. From the above information, it appears that Charles P. Rumsey was living in Chester in 1850, but moved across the town line into Warwick the following year. In 1859 he was in Erin, Chemung Co., but in 1860 was in Patterson, NJ. By 1863 he had moved to IA, and between 1870 and 1878 went to Maryville, Nodaway Co., MO. [13]
