  Notes	Don Rumsey was 3 years old in the 1870 census, and 12 years old in the 1880 census of Enfield, with his parents. Donald Charles Rumsey was listed as a broommaker in the Ithaca directories of 1896 and 1899. In the Chicago, Ill, directory of 1906 he was a broommaker, living at 1188 E. Ravenswood Park, and at different numbers on Ravenswood in 1923 and 1928. He was said to be living in Arcola, Douglas Co, Ill, in 1928. He and Rosetta Jane and their youngest daughter Florence have not been located in the 1900 census of New York, Illinois, or Michigan. But their eldest daughter, Bessie Rumsey, was living with her uncle Clarence Burgess at 908 George St., Owasso City, Shiawassee Co, Mich, at the age of 10. Clarence had his widowed mother Hannah Burgess with him also. Benjamin Franklin was probably the grandson "Don A.", aged 8, born in Illinois, his parents born New York and Michigan, who was with Alonzo and Liza Rumsey in Enfield, NY, in 1900. In a family group photo, reported by Mrs. Eric Rumsey (see #103-50), taken when Benjamin F. was 19 (i.e. 1911), is a "Nellie Tubbs" who appeared to be about 30. It is possible she was the Nellie who first married a Conners before becoming Don C. Rumsey's second wife and Benjamin's step-mother. [3]
