Where was Susan's son, Horace in > 1870? > > Joann Nichols Hi Joann, here's some further information: Susan Cynthia Simonds was born in 1843 in Hartford, Vermont, and one source I have lists her exact birthdate as 11/23/1843, though I haven't been able to verify that. As to the 1870 census, the Rumrills actually appear in the census for Goshen, Sullivan County, New Hampshire. They got married in Claremont, New Hampshire in 1870, but all of their children (according to what I've read) were born back in Vermont. Horace is also listed in the same 1870 census, but the whole family is listed in the Windham, VT census of 1880. Interestingly enough, Horace is listed as a Rumrill in the 1870 census, but in 1880 his name is listed as Edwin H. Newton. Jan, very interesting information, thanks so much for that. Edwin is certainly a possibility. Thanks again for the help, any further information would be greatly appreciated.
