Notes |
- "The "Ernes" Rumsey born April 1883 found in the 1900 census of Cheshire Tp, Allegan Co, Mich, brother-in-law to William Henderson, was probably the above Ernest. Henderson's wife Elizabeth was 38, which would correspond to Ernest's step-sister, Elizabeth Imhoof, of earlier enumerations. (See #136)
A letter addressed to Ernest Rumsey at Bronson, Mich, written 21 May 1961, was forwarded to his daughter, Mrs. Genese Teller, RFD #1, Allen, Mich. Her reply gave no specific data, but said it would take some time to get it together, as she had 11 children, 21 grandchildren and 3 greats, with another on the way. Also, her sister Grace had been married twice and had 3 deaths in her family. Nothing further was heard from Genese.
In 1910 Earnest Rumsey of Noble was listed two farms from his half-brother, John A. Rumsey. He was 27, and had been married 7 years to Nellie who was 24. Their two daughters were "Genere" (as it appeared) 5, and Grace 4.
Walter Rumsey of Orland, Ind (#136-14), told me that Genese was about the age of his wife, who was born Dec 1898. But Genese was 7 years younger, and her parents were not even married in 1900. Walter also said Grace was much younger. Walter mentioned only one husband for Grace.
DBR found Grace, dau of Ernest, in the 1930 census of Bronson Village (ED4), living with her parents at age 25, having been married at age 16. She
had a son Ernest M. age 8. (She probably remarried.) In Bronson Twp there were Michael D. and Almira 75 Kashmer, perhaps too old to be parents of Earl. (DBR)" (Rumsey, Descendants of Simon Rumsey) [1]
