Abt 1770 - Bef 1829  (59 years)

• Name	Nathaniel Rumsey  [1, 2]
  Birth	Abt 1770	New Cornwall, Orange Co., New York, USA   [1, 2]
  Gender	Male
  Alt. Death	Marion, Marion Co., Ohio, USA   [3]
  Death	Bef Jul 1829	Marion Co., Ohio, USA   [1, 2, 3]
  Notes	Nathaniel Rumsey was in the 1810 census of Marbletown, Ulster Co, NY, heading a household which contained 1 male and 4 females under 10 (Charles, Betsey, Emilia, Dolley, ? ), and both parents 26-44, listed near his brother John. This leaves unidentified 1 girl b 1801-10. By 1820 Nathaniel had moved to Walnut Twp, Pickaway Co, Ohio, where he had 3 males and 3 females under 10 (Nancy, Sarah, & ? , Stephen, Peter, & ? ), 1 male and 1 female 10-15 (Charles, Dolley), 3 females 16-25 (Emilia, ? , Betsey), 1 female 26-44 (Betsey). Nathaniel was 45 or over, and there was another female 45 or over, unidentified. Which leaves 1 male and 1 female unidentifed b 1811-20 who may be the unidentivied girl under 10 in 1810, and 1 fwemale b 1795-1804. Portrait and Biographical Album of Branch Co, Mich (1888), published by Chapman Brothers, (p 567) has a biographical sketch of John Rumsey, which said his parents were Nathaniel Rumsey and Elizabeth Rider. Nathaniel died in Marion Co, Ohio, and his widow, left with thirteen children, married Benjamin Stebbins and moved to St. Joseph Co, Mich, about 1835, where she lived the remainder of her life. However, the death record of John gave his father's name as Byron, a name which does not occur in any of the earlier Rumsey records so far uncovered, though John had a grandson Byron who was killed five years before John died. John's second marriage record gave his birthplace as Marion Co, Ohio, so Nathaniel may have left Pickaway Co, Ohio, soon after he was listed there in the 1820 census. Nathaniel Rumsey died, and his widow Elizabeth married Benjamin Stebbins 9 July 1829, in Marion Co, OH. Kris O'Dea reported finding Benjamin Stebbins in the 1830 census of Salt Rock Twp, Marion Co, OH. He was 50-59, his wife (Betsey) was 40-49, and with them were: 1 girl 15-19 (Sarah), 2 boys 10-14 (Stephen, Peter), 2 girls and 1 boy 5-9 (Nancy, Jane, John or George). She also found a deed of 15 Aug 1832, when Benjamin Stebbing and Stephen Rumsey bought land together in Marion Co. Benjamin Stebbins and Elizabeth his wife were of Marion Co, when they sold land there to James and Susannah Rhoads for $1000, on 19 Apr 1834. This must have been about the time they moved to St. Joseph Co, Michigan. (The Branch county history said about 1835.) Benjamin and Elizabeth were in the 1840 census of Colon, St.Joseph Co, Mich. He was in his 50s, she in her 40s. With them were: 1 male (in his 30s poss Stephen? who had perhaps left or lost his first wife by then), 2 males 15-19 (John, George), 1 female 10-14 (Jane), and 1 male 5-9 (a grandson?). There was no probate for Nathaniel Rumsey in Marion Co, Ohio. The Branch County history said that of the 13 children Nathaniel Rumsey left, only three were living at the time of publication in 1888, and named only John. And only eleven have been subsequently identified. The first clues as to the daughters were found in the following Stebbins deeds in St. Joseph Co, Mich. Their maiden name Rumsey appeared in marriage records, except for Betsey Schellhous, probably named for her mother. ST.JOSEPH CO, MICH - DEEDS 13:93 - Benjamin Stebbins of Colon, from Martin G. Schellhous & wife Betsey 6 Oct 1834. Sect. 10, Town 6, Range 9 13:94 - Benjamin Stebbings of Colon, from George F. Schellhous of Colon 1 May 1835. Sect. ll, Town 6, Range 9 13:95 - Benjamin Stebbins, to Florence M. Vaughan 16 Apr 1844. Sect. 10, Town 6, Range 9 13:96 - Elizabeth Stebbins of St.Joseph Co, to Florence M. Vaughan 19 Mar 1844. Wit: Benjamin Stebbins, Nathan Mitchell, Allen Goodrich 13:97 - Benjamin Stebbins of St.Joseph Co, to Florence M. Vaughan 17 Mar 1844 13:97 - George H. Shellhouse as trustee of Elizabeth Stebbins of St.Joseph Co, 16 Apr 1844 to Florence M. Vaughan, wit: Benj.Stebbins,Nathan Mitchell It turned out that Florence M. Vaughan above was the husband of one of the missing daughters - Jane. In 1850 Benjamin (ae 75) and Elizabeth (66) Stebbins were in Colon Twp, with them were Henry (16) and Elizabeth Cartright (14), both from Canada. Florence and Jane Vaughan were next door. Neither Benjamin nor Elizabeth were found in the 1860 census. Benjamin's death was recorded in the Michigan index for 1867-1892. So Elizabeth died after 1850, and before 1867.
