  Notes	On 24 Feb 1848, Watey Rumsey gave a life lease to John Rumsey, relinquishing her interest in 53 acres deeded to her by John Hoffstatter (#61-2), to allow John and his wife Saloma to live there as long as they lived, (LR OS-22:103, l04). As Watey Bristol, she sold 12 acres in Lot 8, Section 2, New London, on 4 March 1851, (LR 1:478). Amos and Watey Bristol were in the 1850 census of New London, Huron Co, OH. He was 26, her age given as 27, four years younger than her birth date as reported in her obituary and on her gravestone. It was Watey who owned the real estate, valued at $1000. Her widowed mother, Salomy Rumsey, was with them. Amos and Watey did not stay together long. For in 1860, Waitey Bristol and her 10 year old son John were in the census of New London. She was 35, without property. Frank W. Rumsey said: "I can well remember the old lady, as over the years I saw quite a lot of her when I was a boy, also her son John and Clara his wife." Amos Bristol was in Fawn River, St.Joseph Co, Mich in 1860, with a wife named Eliza who was 26 to his 36 years. He had $800 in real estate and $300 in personal property, with no occupation specified. They were living with farmer Jacob Hartman from Pennsylvania, who was 44. In 1870, Waty Bristol was "45" and living alone in New London. She had $2000 and $150 in real and personal property. In 1880 Watey Bristol was still alone in New London Tp, her age given as 57, divorced. In the 1900 census of New London Tp, John H. Bristol was 49 and a farmer, though FWR said he was a reporter. His wife Clara J. was 46, both her parents from Virginia. They had been married 7 years. With them was his mother, Watey B. Bristol, a widow who had had but the one child. Watey Bristol died a widow at the age of 83 in 1902, according to her death record. Her obituary, which FWR showed me, called her Watey B. Rumsey. [2]
