  Notes	Cornelius O. Rumsey witnessed a deed of 1796 in Orange Co, NY, wherein Elizabeth Rumsey and Thomas Osborn were listed among the heirs of Cornelius Osborn dec'd of Fishkill, Dutchess Co, NY. Elizabeth apparently named her son for her father, and her grandson, Thomas Osborne Rumsey, was probably named for her brother. On 25 Aug 1827, Cornelius and Hannah Rumsey of Newburgh sold to David Munn of Marlborough, Ulster Co, land on the Hudson River in the town of Newburgh, Orange Co, which he had purchased 8 March 1809 (two months after his marriage) from John C. Carman and his wife. (See #39.) (LR FF:310) Cornelius Rumsey was in Newburgh in the 1810 census of Orange Co, NY. There were 2 boys and 1 girl under 10, the mother who was 16-25, and Cornelius who was 26-44. (There were no boys in the family born before December 1810, so those under 10 are unidentified.) He was listed next to several Carman families, headed by Cornelius (possibly his brother-in-law), John C., James, and John Jr. In 1815, Cornelius Rumsey was in the Militia of Orange Co, 14th Regiment. (Military Minutes of the Council of Appointment of the State of New York - Vol.1:1547) The family was in Newburgh in the 1820 census. There were 3 boys and 1 girl under 10, 1 boy and 1 girl 10-15, and the parents who were 26-44. In 1830 Cornelius Rumsey of Newburgh was in his 50s, his wife in her 40s, and they had 1 male and 1 female under 5, 2 males 5-9, 2 males 10-14, 2 males and 1 female 15-19, and 1 female 20-29. Recorded in 1829 was an Orange Co deed from Alexander and Jean Stark of Newburgh to Cornelius O. Rumsey. Recorded in 1831, Cornelius Carman and his wife of Newburgh, and Alexr Stark and his wife of Newburgh, sold to Cornelius O. Rumsey. That same year, Cornelius O. Rumsey and his wife Hannah of Newburgh sold to Silas D. Gardner. (LR 37:222; 41:222, 224, 226). (See #39,40) In the same year of 1831, Cornelius O. Rumsey purchased land in Ogden and Chili townships, Monroe Co, from Isaac Voorheis (LR 22:33). Other Monroe Co deeds, recorded in 1850 and 1849, but not checked for date and details of transaction, show Cornelius O. Rumsey and his wife Hannah conveyed to Mary Ann Pettengill "et al", Lot 22 in the town of Ogden (shd this be Lot 212?); and Cornelius O., Hannah, John W., Mary A., Thomas O. and Matilda, all conveyed Lot 212 in Ogden to Alexander S. Rumsey (LR 81;539; 90:537). In 1840 C. Rumsey was enumerated in Ogden, Monroe Co, NY. The family consisted of 1 male 10-14, 2 males and 1 female 15-19, 1 female 30-39, 1 female 50-59 and 1 male 60-69. Three in the household were engaged in agriculture. Cornelius Rumsey of Ogden wrote his will 27 June 1849, the day he died. He left to his wife Hannah the west part of Lot 212, consisting of 54 acres, and to his son Alexander the home farm in the towns of Chili and Ogden, consisting of 105 acres, and Lot 211 in the town of Ogden containing 22 acres. Alexander was also to have all the stock and tools on the farm. However, when he took possession of the farm he was to pay to Catharine $2000, and to allow Catharine and her mother to live in "so much of the house as they shall need for their convenience." Alexander was also to pay $500 to his brother Samuel Rumsey, and $100 to granddaughter Elizabeth Rumsey [daughter of James]. At the death of their mother, sons Thomas O. and John W. Rumsey were to have the 54 acres of Lot 212: John was to have one half, and Thomas was to pay his sister Mary Ann Pettengill $400 from his share. He named as executors Alexander Rumsey and Moses Pettengill, and the will was witnessed by Robert Fulton and John Lynde of Chili. (PR Wills 4:287) Petition for Probate was entered 15 July 1849 by the two executors. The list of heirs consisted of Hannah Rumsey, widow, Catherine Rumsey, Mary Ann Pettengill wife of Moses Pettengill, Alexander Rumsey, all of full age and residents of Ogden; John Rumsey of New York City; Sarah, Hellen and Elizabeth Rumsey, children of James Rumsey deceased, all infants under the age of 14 residing in Ogden, Leonard Adams being their special guardian; and Thomas Rumsey residing in Westchester Co, NY. The petition for final settlement, was dated 10 July 1851. Hannah, Catharine and Samuel were still in Ogden; Mary Ann Pettengill was "since dec'd", Moses Pettengill of Ogden, and Hannah and Ann Pettengill minors under 14 were residing in Ogden; Sarah, Hellen and Elizabeth Rumsey were of Ogden; Margaret, Hannah Maria, Emma, Matilda and Thomas Rumsey, all minors under 14, were of New Rochelle, Westchester Co, NY. (These last were children of Thomas O. Rumsey who had died in 1850.) Leonard Adams was guardian for these, as well as for James Rumsey's children as above. Final Settlement was made 8 Sep 1851. (PR (File 1849:66) In the 1850 census of Ogden, Monroe Co, taken 22 October, Alexander Rumsey headed the household at age 22, owning $8000 in real estate. With him were his mother Hannah aged 62, and his sister Catherine aged 41. They also had two Irish laborers, and an English domestic servant. A second listing was made 24 October, in which Hannah headed the household at the age of 69. (Her age in the previous listing is closer to her age on her gravestone.) With her were Catherine 41 and Alexander 22, and no empoyees. No real estate was shown for any of them. Alexander was married before the state census of 1855 was taken, when he still had with him his mother Hannah aged 68, born in Orange Co, as was his sister Catharine aged 45. Also in Ogden were Samuel and Martha Rumsey, the widow Amy Rumsey, and Moses Pettingell with a second wife. (See also the estates of Alexander and Samuel Rumsey.) Catherine Rumsey was "63" in the June 1870 census, with Moses Pettengill and his second wife E.A.H., in Niles City, Berrien Co, Mich.
