Notes |
- Samuel G. Lewis was in the 1810 census of Goshen, Orange Co, NY. He and his wife were both under 26, and they had 2 boys and 1 girl under 10. This appears to include the infant Henry.
Samuel was not found in Orange Co in 1820. But there was a Samuel G. Lewis in the town of Sweden, Genesee Co (later Monroe Co), he and his wife 26-44, but with no children. If this is the same, perhaps they left their children in Goshen with relatives, and returned before 1830.
In 1830 Samuel Lewis of Goshen was in his 50s, his wife in her 40s (though both born the same year), and they had 1 male and 1 female under 5 (Oliver? & ? ), 1 female 5-9 (Charlotte), 1 female 10-14 (Mary), 1 male 15-19 (Henry), 1 female 20-29 (Ethelinda), and another female 40-49. (This omits Samuel.)
Samuel G. Lewis has not been found in Goshen in 1840 or 1850.
In the 1st Election District of Goshen in 1855, Phineas and Charlotte Rumsey had her parents and sister with them. Samuel Lewis was 65, Mary was 64 and Julia 23. There was also a Henry Lewis 13, nephew of Samuel Lewis.
In 1860 Samuel and Mary Lewis were in Goshen, both aged 73. Samuel was a farmer with $18,000 in real estate and $3,000 in personal property. With them was their daughter Charlotte Y. aged 34 and five children, all dittoed as Youngs instead of Rumsey. (Phineas Rumsey, had died in 1855.) They were followed by a domestic servant and three farm laborers, all Irish.
In Goshen in the 1865 state census, Samuel and Mary Lewis still had Charlotte and her children with them, but this time properly named as Rumsey. Mary Lewis had born 8 children. Both she and Samuel were 78, born in Orange Co, and had been married but once.
In 1870 Samuel and Mary Lewis of Goshen were both 84. Samuel was a retired farmer, and had $5500 in real estate. The Rumsey family were still with them. Samuel died in 1872, and "Maria" Youngs, a widow aged 72, was boarding with her son Oliver in the 1880 census of Geneseo, Henry Co, Ill. [1]
