Abt 1772 - 1818  (46 years)

• Name	Samuel Rumsey  [1, 2]
  Birth	Abt 1772	Cornwall, Orange Co., New York, USA   [1, 2]
  Gender	Male
  Death	26 Jul 1818	Wallkill, Orange Co., New York, USA   [1, 2]
  	Cause: Consumption
  Notes	Harry Hawkin Smith said that Samuel Rumsey had a twin brother who died. I have been unable to discover any record of this, and he gave no proof. On the other hand, Hannah Smith was baptized in the Presbyterian Church at Goshen with her twin sister Priscilla. Samuel Rumsey appeared in the 1810 census of Wallkill, Orange Co, NY, when he and his wife were both in the 26-44 age bracket. With them were 1 boy and 2 girls under 10 (Phineas, Evelina and Emily), and 1 girl 10-15 who may have been domestic help. Samuel Rumsey died of consumption at the age of 45, according to the Goshen Presbyterian Church records. His infant child had died only a few months before of inflamation of the lungs. Consumption was the cause of death for both Phineas and Elizabeth, according to the church records. Administration on the estate of Samuel Rumsey of Wallkill was granted 7 Oct 1818 to his widow Hannah and John Barker, his "brother-in-law." (In Hannah's estate he was called her brother-in-law. He had married her twin sister Priscilla in 1803 (GPCh p.23).) (PR Admn E:310) In the published Goshen Presbyterian Church records, "Elizabeth" Rumsey, [i.e. Hannah] widow of Samuel Rumsey, was registered as a member on 1 Feb 1819, "never before in communion" (GPCh p.61). Elizabeth Rumsey [daughter of Samuel] was baptized adult and admitted to the church 2 Feb 1832, "(never before in communion)" (GPCh p.67,140). This was about three weeks before she died. Samuel Rumsey [Jr] was suspended 29 Oct 1831 (GPCh p.67). In the 1820 census of Wallkill, Hannah Rumsey had a household of 2 males and 1 female under 10 (William, Samuel, Elizabeth), 1 male and 2 females 10-15 (Phineas, Evelina, Emily), 1 male 16-25 (farm laborer?), and Hannah who was 26-44. Two members were engaged in agriculture. Administration on Hannah's estate was granted 11 March 1824, to John Barker her brother-in-law. Both were of Wallkill. In the file is a document signed by Henry Smith which reads: "I Henry Smith hereby renounce all right to administer the goods and chattels and credits of Hannah Rumsey, my deceased sister, and request you to grant administration thereof to John Barker." (PR Admn E:282). Guardianship papers for Hannah's daughter Elizabeth show that she became 10 years of age on 21 Jan 1824, and papers for William that he became 9 years of age on 21 Feb 1824. (PR Guardianship A:35, 36) The estate of Phineas Rumsey was probated in Orange Co 24 May 1832. He was of Goshen, but had died 22 January "last past" of consumption, at St. Augustine in the Territory of East Florida. His heirs were listed as his sisters Elizabeth Rumsey and Emily, wife of Henry Smith, and brothers Samuel and William Rumsey. Elizabeth and Emily were both deceased since his death, and William was a minor under 21. (PR File 154) The estate of Elizabeth Rumsey was probated the same day. She had died 27 Feb "last past", in Goshen at the house of Henry Smith, her brother-in-law. The heirs in this case were brothers Samuel and William, the latter under 21, and Emily Smith wife of Henry who was since deceased. Their brother Samuel Rumsey was named administrator of both estates. (PR File 155) When Peter4 Rumsey died in 1843, Samuel (Jr) and William, both of Goshen, were the only surviving heirs of his brother Samuel Rumsey dec'd. Nothing has been learned about William after that date. A thorough check of land records in Orange Co has not been made. But the first deed indexed in Samuel's name was 6 July 1808, when he purchased from Charles Borland and his wife Rebecca (LR L:85, rec. 1809).
