  Notes	Frank W. Rumsey (#60-72, b 1884) gave the name of his great grandmother as Lorinda, saying he "remembered her quite well." He reported Mrs. Arnold's copy of her gravestone as Lorinda Shook Rumsey, though it was printed by the Western Reserve Historical Society as Lorana Shook Rumsey. Most census records are closer to "Loranna." The obituary of her son Loren had the name as "Lowena." George Rumsey was in the 1830 census of Jerusalem, Yates Co, NY, in his 20s as was his wife, and they had one son under 5. In 1840 they were in Clarksford Tp (now appears to be Clarksfield Tp), Huron Co, Ohio, which is directly north of New London Tp. The household consisted of 1 male and 1 female under 5 (John, Lodema), 1 of each 5-9 (should be 2 females: Catharine, Mary), 1 of each 10-14 (Loren, ? ), 1 of each 15-19 (bro Elisha?, ? ), his wife 30-39, and he 40-49. The 1850 census listed George Rumsey in New London Tp, Huron Co, at the age of 49, a farmer but not a land owner. Loranna was 43, born in Conn, and could not read or write. With them were Mary 19, Catharine 16, Lodema 14, all b NY, and John 11, b Ohio. The family left New York in the spring of 1837 according to Loren's obituary. Loren was 21, working for Augustus and Clarissa Barret in Clarksfield as a farmer. Not far from George in New London were his cousins John Rumsey and John Hoffstatter (#61-1,3), (a son of the latter was to marry Lodema), and his sister Watey Bristol (#60-7) with their mother Salomy Rumsey. Frank W. Rumsey wrote that: "Waity Bristol and Geo. P. Rumsey...were brother and sister. I well remember my Grandfather L. W. Rumsey always said that Waity Rumsey Bristol was his real aunt." In 1860 in New London, George was 59, with $1500 in real estate and $400 in personal property. His wife Lorania was 53, John was a farm laborer aged 21, and they had an Irish farm laborer with his English wife. In 1870 George and Lorannie were alone, George aged 70 with no occupation, and Lorannie 63. There was no property valuation for him. The death notice for George Rumsey, who died in Norwalk, March 8, 1873 in the 73rd year of his age, appeared in Firelands Pioneer (O.S.Vol.11 (1874), p.112). Frank Rumsey said the widow was living with her daughter, Catharine Chandler, when she died in 1890. In 1880 she was 73, with Catherine and I. H. Chandler in Norwalk Tp.
