Ruth Rumsey

1764 - Aft 1850 (89 years)

Name	Ruth Rumsey [1, 2]
Birth	Between 1762 and 1764	Orange Co., New York, USA [1, 2]
Gender	Female
Death	Aft 1850 [1, 2]
Notes	In a letter written 11 Jan, prob 1846, by Pamelia (Rumsey) Reeder of Blooming Grove, NY, daughter of Jesse4 Rumsey (#34), to her brother Hiram W. Rumsey, she spoke of "Aunt Ruth Coleman" as "liveing yet and injoys pretty good helth for one of her age she is 84 years old." This could refer to a sister of either her father or her mother. In order to record what I have found on Ruth Coleman, she is tentatively placed here as a Rumsey, but needs to have her relationship proved. Not knowing her husband's given name, it is impossible to identify this Coleman family in the early census records. But he had apparently died before the 1840 census of Blooming Grove, when Ruth Coleman was enumerated with 1 male and 1 female 10-14, 1 female 30-39, she herself being in her 70s. In the 1850 census of Blooming Grove, Ruth Coleman was living alone at the aged of 86. She had $1500 in real estate. [2]
