Hi John, Thank you very much for the look-ups and for the good information. I think this is the first time I've seen that RUMZY surname. And I'm not finding that spelling in the census records, nor RUMZEY in MA. And, it is also curious that the 2nd wife of George HUTCHINSON, Amy RUMZEY, had a mother with the maiden name of Elizabeth CROSBY. George's mother had the maiden name of Eliza Ann CROSBY of the large CROSBY Farm in Arlington, MA. I just checked and there is no Board for RUMZY or RUMZEY. So, I placed a query on the RUMSEY Boards. And, 2 records say that the Benjamin RUMZY family was of Nova Scotia. I checked the Nova Scotia Board and the RUMSEY name was mentioned 10 years ago and 6 years ago. But one posting showed that a Benjamin RUMSEY was one of the "Planters and Pioneers" in the 1700's. So, I searched on-line for "Benjamin RUMSEY" and found a few sites mentioning him in the US: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Rumsey http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=1231 This site mentions that his grandfather had come to the Colonies in 1665 from Wales. http://famousamericans.net/benjaminrumsey/ Even though RUMSEY is not a popular name, there seems to have been another family in CT, and another in NY, which included a Benjamin. OH -- I just came across this page which mentions a Benjamin RUMSEY in Arlington, Annapolis Co., Nova Scotia: http://beals-genealogy.com/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I03645&tree=Beals&tngprint=1 Anyone researching this name?
