" Simon is said to have moved from Long Island to Orange County between 1734 and 1739. No Rumsey received a grant of land in Orange County from the colony according to Victor E. Shelford, Urbana Ill(1949-1950)( hence VES) who checked this in Albany. And in the index of deeds at Goshen, the county seat in Orange County, the first Rumsey deed that I found in the index was 1777. Simon and Phebe are reported to have owned about 1240 acres, presumably near Schenemunk Mt., judging from transactions of his children following his death (not personally checked). This mountain stretches northeasterly, west of a line running from Highland Mills and Woodbury to Mountainville. Several of Simon's descendants are known to have lived in this area. Schunemunk Mountain is now the boundary between Blooming Grave and Woodbury townships.
Testimony of his son Phineas would indicate that shortly before his death Simon settled near Goshen. Phineas stated that in 1785 that he was born in the year 1733 and that he was about four years old when his father brought him into the county and in 1748 settled at East Division of Goshen.(Historical Society of Newburgh Bay and The Highlands, vol 11:61). This would place the move to Orange County about 1738.
Henry Hawkins Smith, a Rumsey descendant said: "John Rose, [Simon's]father-in-law, was a large landowner in Orange County and Long Island. He gave a deed to Simon Rumsey, and his daughter Phebe Rose of about 40 acres which included the spot where the present Rumsey house stands (in the East division of Goshen). To this was added, by gifts and sale 1200 acres or more. Most of the children of Simon and Phoebe Rose settled in Monroe, BloomingGrove, Orange County., on land which they obtained by gift and purchase from their grandfather, John Rose."(see Shelford on the Rose Family below)
In Goshen East Division, on the farm that was once Phineas Rumsey's, a family burying ground was set aside in which several generations of his family were laid to rest. At some time in later years a fine iron fence was placed around it for protection and Cedars of Lebanon were brought from abroad in butter tubs from some seagoing member of the family. A hurricane in the 20th Century demolished all the cedars, but the fence was still standing in good repair with a fresh coat of paint in 1961 when I visited there. Warren S. Rumsey was the principal keeper of the family records in his time, claimed that Simon and Phebe were buried there, but did not realize that the Simon1 who emigrated to this county was of a previous generation. Consequently he had the dates quite mixed up. He calls James brother of Simon2 instead of uncle."
