Simon2 Rumsey, was the only son of Simon of Long Island, and his father be–
queathed to him all his land and houses, and his movable estate which included
two negroes. Only certain item of the estate were reserved for his mother and
sisters. It was also left as his responsibility to feed, clothe and house his
mother and two unmarried sisters so long as they remained unmarried. Since this
will was written in 1719, .Simon must have been of age at that time, and therefore
born by 1698.
There seems to be some disagreement on the date of Simon's marriage to
Phebe Rose. Harry Hawkins Smith gave the specific date of 12 June 172 3. Mr.
Shelford said they were married before June 1723. Neither gave a source for
this particular pgiece of information. It is possible Shelford took his from
notes of T4114. �7(Rumsey) Sanford who did considerable research on various
Rumsey families. These notes were in the possession of Mrs. Sanford's grand–
daughter at the time Mr. Shelford had the opportunity to go through them. 1• ny
of his statements are based on these notes.
Simon is said to have moved from Long Island to Orange Cot` '4"- 1734-.INo Rumsey
received a grant in Orange County from thecolony, according to 3helford who
checked this in Albany. And the first land record in the index of deeds at
Goshen, the county seat of Orange County, which has the name Rumsey was dated
1777. Simon and Phebe owned about 1240 acres.'which presumably was near
Mountain, judging from the transactions of. his children after his
death. This mountain stretches northeasterly,`west of a line running from
Highland Mills and °Ioodbury to Mountainville. < Several of Simons descendants
are known to have lived in this area. .Sch-n-1-1-Mountain is now the boundary
between Blooming Grove and 1loodbury townships. �

Though Siacn2 owned land in Schunemunk Clove (valley) and on Schuneaunk Mt.,
(according to 1dr. Shelford - I have not seen these early deeds), testimony of his
son Phineas would indicated thatshortlybefore his death Simon settled near
Goshen. In testimony given in connection with the boundary between t•lawayanda and
"Cheesek-ook" in 1785, Phineas stated that he was born in the year 1733, that
when he was about 4 years old his father brought him into the count3y, and in
1748 settled at Bast Division of Goshen. (Historical Society of Newburgh Bay &
The Highlands - 11:61)
To one Awho has not made a thorough study of the history of Orange County and
the evolution of the towns, trying to locate early real estate is quite confusing.
Criginally Orange Co. took in a large part of what is now Dockland Co. At the
same time, Ulster Co. extended down to a line extending straight west from the
Hudson River along the southern boundaries of what are now New 'dindsor and
'yallkill townships. Goshen ?recinct originally included all of Orange Co. except
the Haverstraw and Orangetown Districts. In 1764 the Precinct of Goshen was
divided into Goshen Precinct and New Cornwall ?recinct. That part of Goshen
:mown as the East Division was the portion of the, present village of _Goshen
north of Church Street and the _area east,,of Purgatory owaup.
The name Precinct was changed 7 ?March 1788, after the Revolution, to Town.
At that time the towns of `larwick and 2Minnisink were formed from Goshen Precinct,
and the name of Cornwall Precinct was changed to the town of New Cornwall,
though in 1797 the word "New" was eliminated.
Prior to this, however, Blooming Grove was formed from Cornwall in 1779;
and what is now Monroe and Woodbury was formed out of Cornwall and named
Chesecocks (with various spellings in the records!), the name changed to
Southfields in 1802, and to PSonroe in 1808. In 1863 the board of sup-ervisors
divided it into three towns - Monroe, Southfield, and Highland, but this act was
repealed by the Legislature in 1865.,In the census of that year "The Town of
Monroe as it was previous to the Actof Consolidation" is shown separate from
the Town of Highland (apparently what is now Woodbury).
It was not until between 1797 and 1801 that the county lines were definitely
fixed, Rockland being taken out of Orange, and Orange incorporating from Ulster
the towns of Few Windsor, Newburgh, ;,a lki-1i, Montgomery and-Deerpark. Thus, in
the first Federal Census of 1790, the towns and counties were as follows: (those
which by 1801 were part of Orange Co. are in large type.)

Arra by 1801 these in addition:
BLOOMING GROVE )-(why these were not included in the 1790 list, in
CHESEKOCK ) the light of the above information taken from the
DPARK same source I have not yet figured out.)
The formation of several other towns came later, so that by the 1850 census we
have: CHESTER (1845 from Goshen, 'darwick, Glooming Grove & Monroe)
MT. HOPE (1833 from Wallkill, Minnisink, Deerpark)
Other towns have also been formed, but these are the main ones in which Rumseys
settled. (Refs. for above history: E.�i.Ruttenber - Hist.of Orange Co.,N.Y.(18754

In Goshen East Division, on the farm that was once Phineas Rumsey's, a family
burying graad was laid,out in which several generations of his family werelaid to
rest. At some time in later years'a fine iron fence was placed around it for pro-
tection, and Cedars of Lebanon werebrought'from abroad in butter tubs by some
seagoing member of the family. hurricane`_n recent times demolished all the
Cedars, but the fence is sti11 standing in good repair and a fresh coat of paint
in 1961. Warren S.5 Rumsey (1811-1885), the principal keeper of family records in
his time, claimed that Simon and Phebe were buried there, but did not realize that
the Simon who emigrated to this country was another generation. Consequently the
inscription he had inscribed on a stone"to mark their graves has the dates quite
mixed up, and calls James the brother of Simon instead of uncle. (A complete list
of stones in this graveyard is on another page.)
Simon's will was written 11 Jana-1751/2 (he himself used the combined old and
new style dating), and was proven in New York City 9 Apr."1753 (Lib.18:333) -

Will and Testament in the presence of us who subscribed our names in the
presence of the Testator, Jonathan Corey

John Carpenter
All but one of Simon's children are mentioned in this will - Jerusha, the
eldest daughter, was probably omitted because of her marriage to the famous
black sheep of the Revolution, Claudius Smith, who was hanged in the Goshen
square.
It is not known what became of Abigail. There is no -other mention or record
of her that has been found.
We draw another blank on Sarah. According to Mr. Shelford, a torn sheet of
Mrs. Sanfori's notes indicates that a Sarah may have married some one in
Hamptonburg, Orange Co.
Mr. Smith says: "John Rose, his (Simon's) father-in-law, vas a large land-
owner both in Orange County and Lona Island. He gave a deed to Simon Humsey and
his daughter ?hebe Rose of about 40 acres, which included the spot where the
present Rumsey house stands (in East Division of Goshen). To this land was
added by gifts and by sale some 1200 acres or more. Most of the children of
Simon and Phebe Rose settled in Monroe, Blooming Grove, Orange County, on which
land they obtained by gift and purchase from, their grandfather, John Rose."

REVOLUTIONARY EVENTS.
the capture of the latter at Yorktown a matter of
much easier accomplishment.
Of John Mason nothing appears of record further
than the fact stated by one of his accomplices under
arrest that he was a leader of one of the bands which
had their headquarters in the Clove, and is said to have
been engaged in several robberies and at least one
murder. The theme of local interest and history is
THR STORY OF CLAUDIUS SMITH.
Who was Claudius Smith? His family is said to
have been of English origin, and to have been among
the early settlers of Brookhaven, L. I., where he was
born, and from whence be removed with his father
some years anterior to the Revolution, and took up
his residence at a place more recently known as Mc -
Knight's Mills, in the present town of Monroe, where
he grew up to manhood, married, and had sons of suf-
ficient age to unite with him in his predatory excur-
sions. It is not necessary that his identification
should be made more complete, and an attempt to do
so, in the absence of positive evidence, might result
in injustice. It may safely be stated, however, that
the family of Smiths were early settlers in and gave
their name to Smith's Clove. Claudius is described
as "a mail of Targe stature and powerful nerve, of
keen penetration; one upon whom nature had be-
stowed abilities worthy to be exerted in a better cause.
He conducted his expeditions with such cautiousness
as scarcely to be suspected until in the very execu-
tion of them; and if a sudden descent was made upon
him, by some bold stroke or wily manoeuvre he would
successfully evade his pursuers and make his escape."
That he had the credit of doing much that he did not
do is no doubt true; murder was not one of his
offenses, although murder was committed; he was a
" cow -boy," a stealer of horses and cattle, perhaps of
silverware, and money, if he could find it, and as a
thief he was tried and executed at Goshen on the 22d
of January, 1779, his indictment being "for burglary
at the house of John F.nrlo; for robbery at the house
of Ebenezer Woodhull; for robbery of the dwelling
and still -house of William Bell." Whatever other
sins he may have committed were not charged against
him. He had good qualities. It is said " that the
poor man found in him a friend ready to share both
his meal and his purse, and it is believed that much
of what he extracted from the wealthy he bestowed
upon the indigent." He was hospitable. "The late
Judge Bodle, of Tompkins County, a former resident
of Orange, related It circumstance which occurred
with himself. On the morning following the capture
of Fort Montgomery by the British, he was pursuing
his way homeward from the neighborhood of thedis-
aster, when he suddenly met Claudius Smith in the
road. They knew each other. Judge Bodle was per -
71
quiring the news from the river, continued, `Mr.
Bodle, you are weary with walking: go to my dwel-
ling yonder (directing to a place off the road) and ask
my wife to give you a breakfast, and tell her that I
sent you."' He hated meanness, and when one whom
he knew had money refused to lend that which was
necessary to Mrs. Col. James McClaughry to relieve
her husband, then a prisoner in the hands of the
British, it is said that he sent members of his band
and abstracted the money�he loan of which had been
denied.
At what time Claudius Smith commenced his dep-
redations in the interest of the British government is
not known; he is first met in public records in July,
1777, as a prisoner in Kingston jail, in company with
one John Brown. " charged with stealing oxen be-
longing to the continent." From Kingston he was
transferred to the jail at Goshen, from whence it is said
he escaped. In anything like a tangible record, he
is next met on his capture on Long Island, in the fall
of 1778, and the official narrative closes with his exe-
cution. The immediate act which led to his arrest was
the murder of Maj. Nathaniel Strong, of Blooming -
Grove. Immediately following this outrage, and with
a view to break up the band, Governor Clinton (Oct.
31, 1779) otlered it reward for the apprehension of
Claudius and his sons, Richard and .fames. (;laudlus
fled to Long Island, where he was recognized by Maj.
John Brush, at that time visiting Long Island from
his residence in Connecticut, who, having previously
read Governor Clinton's proclamation, returned across
the Sound and made up a party, who visited the island
in the night seized Smith in his bed, and conveyed
him to Connecticut, where he was placed under guard.
By direction of Governor Clinton, to whom the arrest
was immediately reported, Smith was taken through
Connecticut to Fishkill Landing, where he was met
by Col. Tsaac Nicoll, sheriff of Orange County, and,
under guard of Capt. Woodhull's troop of light -horse,
taken to (loshen, where he was ironed and placed in
jail. llis trial was held at the Oyer and Terminer,
Jan. 13, 1779, and his execution followed on the 22d
of the same month.
Smith's associates were greater criminals than him-
self. Five of them, viz.: "Matthew Dolson, John
Ryan, Thomas Delamar, John Gordon, and AmyAu-
gor, late Amy Jones," were executed with him. His
son James is believed to have been executed at Go-
shen soon after his father, in company with James
Flewwelling and William Cole; his son William was
shot in the mountains before his father was executed,
and also Benjamin Kelley, another member. Not one
of the band was ever tried for murder, although mur-
der was committed by them in the case of Maj. Strong,
and also in the case of one John W. Clark, who re-
sided near the Stirling Iron -Works * Richard, the

It was for many years it current helief that the val-
uable plunder Obtained by thl'so hli ntIA watt htiricd in
the mountains, and among other articles a silver stand,
a quantity of pewter plates, and a large number of mus-
kets. The story of searches for the buried articles by
the grandsons of Claudius Smith, and also by sons of
one of the Roblins, is told with no little minuteness
of detail, but there is no evidence that anything more
than guns were ever found. Like the buried treas-
ures of Kidd, they have failed to be revealed to the
earnest gaze of credulous searchers. It is apparently
the fact that they never stole much besides cattle, as
there was very little of gold or silver, money or stocks,
in the possession of the people whose houses they
6
visited. They may have become infamous, but they
were never made rich by the business in which they
engaged. It is said that their operations were con-
tinued until the permanent encampment of the Amer-
ican army in the Highlands (October, 1781) rendered
their operations extremely hazardous, and finally
ceased on the exchange of the preliminary articles of
peace (1782), which obliged the British officers in New
York to withdraw the encouragement which they had
previously extended.
CHAPTER VII.
SECOND WAR WITH ENGLAND—WAR WITH
MEXICO.
PERHAPS less is known, at the present time, in re-
gard to the second war with England, commonly called
the war of 1812, than there is in regard to the Revo-
lution. Two reasons may be assigned for this,—the
Revolution gave birth to the nation, and participants
in it have commanded that respect, and its influence
upon the world has been such, that the most thorough
attention has been devoted by historians to the collec-
tion of facts and records with a view to preserve its
most minute details; and, second, whatever of docu-
mentary evidence exists touching any of its details is
accessible to those wishing to make examinations.
The second war has not been so fortunate. Its suc-
cesses were mainly through the navy on the ocean.
But two triumphs occurred on land of any consid-
erable importance—the victories at Plattsburgh and
New OrleaMA—to compensate for many humilia-
tions, not the least of which was the capture by the
British of the capital of the nation, and the burning
of tile. national records, an event which, by drawing
from the States whatever records they possessed to
supply the place of those which were thus destroyed,
has rendered them almost wholly inaccessible.
The causes of the war were manifold. It was not
without some prophetic accuracy that Franklin, re-
plying to congratulations on the success of the Colo-
nies in their struggle for independence, remarked,
"Say, rather, the war of the Revolution—the war for
Indt7wndence is yet to be fought," for at no time until
after the war of 1H12 did England fully reTognizo
the independence of the United States. There was a
constant friction between the two governments, grow-
ing out of the weaknof the one and the powerful-
ness of the other, wbZh culminated in the impress-
ment of American seamen and the enforcement of the
claimed right to search every vessel bearing the flag
of the United States and the involvement of the
United States in the war between England and
France. This involvement did not grow out of any
act of the United States government further than was
necessary for the protection of American commerce.
The English government issued its famous Orders in

HUSBAND - Simon RUMSEY III -2297
There is a possibility that Simon and Jemima's first child was Simon born
1749, died 1771. I can't find any record of it.
Simon was a Revolutionary Soldier and helped build Fort Montgomery, in Orange
Co. He was a Conciensious Objector- called Tory, as they did not believe in
War.
WIFE • Jemima INAPP-2298
Simon and Jamima had fifteen children. I only have one listed as I don't have
the information on the others.
CHILD 1 - Phebe RUMSEY-3373
CHILD 2 - John RUMSEY-3374
CHILD 3 - David RUMSEY-3375
CHILD 4 - Moses RUMSEY-3376
Other marriages:
Cynthia (Sanford) MOSHER-3391
CHILD 5 - Jonathan RUMSEY-2299
CHILD 6 - James RUMSEY SR -3377
James Rumsey was a son of Simon (a native and resident of Orange C.
NY). He served a short time in the Revolutionary War and helped build
fort Montgomery on the North River. About 1800 he roved to Aurora, NY. to live
with his brother Noses and came in 1806 to Enfield where he bought 100 acres of
land comprising a part of the fare of his brother George. This was the winter
of 1807. He was a carpenter.
CHILD 7 - Rueben RUMSEY-3378
Rueben Rumsey drowned in a spring when be was young.
CHILD 8 - Isaac RUMSEY-3379
CHILD 9 - Ruth RUMSEY-3380
CHILD 10 - Jemima RUMSEY-3381
CHILD 11 - Nathan RUMSEY-3382
CHILD 12 - Joshua RUMSEY-3383
CHILD 13 - Nathaniel RUMSEY-3384
CHILD 14 - Jeremiah RUMSEY-3385
CHILD 15 - William RUMSEY-3386
SImon3 Riney was the first child mentioned in his father's will of 17522
in which he was to have five pounds more than the rest of his children.
The list of Simon's children was supplied to :fir. Shelford by firs. Lida?
Rumsey 'Freeman. .any of the dates come from his notes, and other sources, which
have not been confirmed in official records. These will be discussed more fully
on the pages for the individual children. Some of the children were said in
family records to be born in Cornwall Precinct, and some in Blooming Grove.- the
latter was not formed however until after all the children were born - in 1779,
and in a deed from Simon Rumsey and his wife Jemima to-Liness Rider in 1796 he
was of New Cornwall. This was property in "Schonemuck Clove" bordering on hazards
Pond (now Cromwell Lake) which had been conveyed to aim in 4prU-1785 by his son
John and wife :Mary. This deed of 1796 was not recorded till 1845 (Lib.86:336).
According to :-Irs. Freeman's notes, says :fir. Shelford, soon after hostilities
with England started he called his militia together, gave up his command as
captain, and said he was opposed to war and was going to be neutral. (Nur. H.H.
Smith makes the same statement about his ancestor, Phineas, brother of Simon.
Perhaps it was true of both.) Nur'. Shelford says Simon "refused" to sign the
Revolutionary Pledge. "However, according to official records in Albany he was
employed to haul logs to obstruct the Hudson and with 19 others appealed for
more pay due to high prices (corn 8 shillings per bushel). Statements that hi -s
land was seized by officials appear in all family accounts."
His family appears in the 1790 census in New Cornwall, Orange Co. (p.145),
with 5 males age 16 or over, and 2 females, so probably his four youngest sons —
Joshua, Nathaniel, Jeremiah, and William — were still living at home. The second
X. may have been a servant, unless one of the sons living with him was
married.
in 1800, when the town was called Cheesecocks, his family is listed as
1 male and 2 females age 45 or over, 1 male between 26 and 44, 1 male and 2
Z_ between 16 and 25. and 1 wle and 1 fe.aale unr3Pr 10_
