Jerusha Rumsey

Abt 1724 - Bef 1752  (28 years)

• Name	Jerusha Rumsey  [1]
  Birth	Abt 1724	Southold, Suffolk Co., New York, USA   [1]
  Gender	Female
  Death	Bef 1752  [1]
  Notes	It was long thought that Jerusha3 Rumsey was the wife of the notorious Tory, Claudius Smith, but Mrs. Myrtle Edwards has concluded that Jerusha was his step-mother and sister-in-law instead. Jerusha's time of death is uncertain, but it is possible that she died before 1752, as she is not mentioned in her father's will. There is apparently some evidence that Claudius Smith had Rumsey brothers-in-law, which had led to the belief that his wife was Jerusha Rumsey, and that she had been omitted from her father's will because of his notorious reputation. But it seems she became his step-mother instead, by marrying his father David, while Claudius probably married Abigail Rumsey, one of her younger sisters. [1]
