  Notes	John A. Rumsey was 1 year old in the 1860 census of Noble, Branch Co, Mich. He was 12 in 1870, living there with his widowed father and married sister. Also in Noble in 1870 were Jacob and Mary Imhoof, their daughter Sarah being 6 years old. The family had moved from Indiana to Michigan between 1866 and 1868. Widow Mary Imhoof married John Rumsey's father in July 1880. The birth record of Verba Dell, and the death record of Ethel, gave the full names of the parents as John A. Rumsey and Sarah Ann Imhoff. The name had been corrected to Imhoof in Verba's birth record. In the 1900 census of Noble, John A. Rumsey was a farmer, born "Sept 1861", though he had been 1 year old in 1860! He had been married 17 years to Sarah A. who was 35. One of their two children had died. The surviving child was Iva M. who was 12 years old. (Verba Dell was born a year later.) With them was John's mother-in-law, widow Mary Rumsey, who was also his step-mother. In the 1910 census of Noble, John A. Rumsey was a farmer aged 49, and Sarah A. was 47. They had been married 27 years, and one of their 3 children had died. Their daughters Iva Lieb, 22 and married 6 years, and Verba Rumsey 8, were at home. With Iva was her 5 year old daughter Mable Lieb. When John A. Rumsey, farmer, died in 1934, his parents were given as John Rumsey and Maria Stayley. When Sarah Ann Rumsey died in 1946, her parents were given as Jacob Imhoff and Mary Engelmyer. Petition for Administration on the estate of Sarah Ann Rumsey said she died in Noble, which was probably her residence, rather than Bronson City just north of Noble, given in her death record as the place of death. The Petition, dated 4 Oct 1946, was filed by Iva Lytle. The heirs were daughters Iva Lytle 58, of Bronson Route 1, and Verba Cochensparger 45, of Bronson (Pro File 18225)."
