  Notes	Don George Rumsey appeared as aged 10 in the 1865 census of Enfield, but 22 in the 1880 census, his birth as Oct 1853 in the 1900 census. Though his gravestone gives his year of birth as 1853, his death record indicates it was nearer 1855, for he died in October 1900 at age 44. None of the records of Don or his wife Dora are consistent in age, spelling of names, etc., and in some cases are difficult to read. Dora B., daughter of George Humer and Jane Kirkuff, was 22 when she married Don G. Rumsey who was 32, a farmer of Enfield Falls, in December 1896. Don G. Rumsey was 46 in the 1900 census of Enfield. He was a farmer, married 3 years to "Lora B." who was 27. Their two children were Warren B. 3 years old, and Milton 9 months old. Also with them were Don's unmarried brothers Orval C. 57, and Oscar J. 52. Letters of Administration on the estate of Don G. Rumsey were granted to Dora B. Rumsey and Orville C. Rumsey, with the final accounting in 1903 (PR 43:295). I was told he fell from a tree. Warren B., Milton L. and Gretel M. Rumsey were listed in 1905 among the heirs of their uncle, Orville Rumsey, as children of his deceased brother Don Rumsey, residing in Enfield, all under 14. Dora's maiden name appeared to be Humer in her marriage record of 1896, Hummer in the birth records of her children, Homer in her second marriage record, Hubber in Warren's death record, and Hummer in Milton's death record when her birthplace was given as Swartwood (Chemung Co) NY. It was New Jersey in her marriage records to Rumsey and Goff, and in the birth records of Warren and Gretel. In the 1900 census she and her father were born in New York, her mother in New Jersey. When her son Milton L. Rumsey was married in 1925, he gave his mother's name as Dora Goff. Dora was buried with Don G. Rumsey as "Dora H. Goff, his wife." [6]
