- "Neil A. Z. Rumsey's maternal grandfather, A. Z. Nichols, was asked for a
first name when he went into the navy so adopted the name Abner. However, Neil
Rumsey's middle initials do not stand for any name.
In July 1964, his daughter Suzanne wrote from 126-B St.Andrews Blvd,
Charleston, SC, 19407, expressing a real interest in the genealogy of Thomas5
Rumsey I had done for the descendants, which those in Michigan had copied and
distributed among various branches of the family. At that time she reported
that she was "a junior at St.Andrew's Parish Senior High School in Charleston,
South Carolina. My brother, twenty-two years old, is a senior at Virginia
Polytechnic Institute at Blacksburg, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. My
sister, twenty-one years old, attended William and Mary College in Norfolk,
Virginia, and now lives in Richmond. I plan to attend Virginia Tech. Since my
father is on construction (tunnels, bridges, and land fills, such as they did
at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, where we lived for three years),
we move quite frequently...."
Douglas B. Rumsey found in US Search on the Internet, in 2003, a Diane
(Sinhel) Rumsey ae 50, daughter of N.S. Sinhel, ae 84, & Ina (Olson) Sinhel, ae
82. These were the only Sinhels in N.C. Gene Elbert Rumsey had reported a 2nd
marriage for Joseph Neil, but did not have the name, and DBR surmised this was
that person." (Rumsey, "Descendants of Simon Rumsey") [3]
