As Mrs. MacIntyre who did so much research on the Ramsey family apparently thought Ramsey/ay and Rumsey might have been connected I will include the information on Rumseys from the Early Harford Countians:

Wm. Wilkinson, Early Harford Countians,

                                Following each entry is the source of information. These are identified bya letter or letter-number and are explained below:
 I (A) = Tax Lists of 1783: Property owners, heads of household, names of tracts, number of white
 ! inhabitants, single men, and paupers. (With all due respect to the publication of these lists by Bet tie Carothers in 1978, the original lists were checked and many errors were detected in her book. Those mistakes have been corrected herein).
                                (B) = Census of 1776: Families, individuals, slaves, hired hands, servants, and ages, plus their areas of residence, known as "hundreds" (Incomplete. One-half of this census is missing). Extant lists were published in Maryland Records, Vol. II, by Gaius M. Brumbaugh (1915) and Bet tie Carothers (n.d.) whose work has been reprinted by Family Line Publications.
                                (C) = Tax Lists of 1778: Taxables only (free white males aged 18 years and upwards, and slaves of all ages). (Copied by William Wilkins of Baltimore, Maryland in 1959, but never published).
                                (D) = Gleanings from the Medical Ledgers of Dr. John Archer: Ledger "F" (from 1779 to 1790) is coded "Dl," and Ledger "D" (from 1773 to 1775) is coded "D2." (Original ledger "P" is in the Manuscripts Division of the Maryland Historical Society, and original ledger "D" is in the Manuscripts Division of the Historical Society of Harford County}.
                                (E) = Orphans Court Proceedings, 1778-1810: Only those events (primarily orphans, indentures, and dates of birth) mentioned between 1774 and 1790 were abstracted. Records are in the Harford County Courthouse. One should also consult Abstracts of the Orphans Court Proceed- ings of Harford County, 1778-1800, byHenryC. Peden, Jr. (lm).
                                (F) = Family Bible Records (collected by the DAR). Records are available at the Maryland Historical Society Library and the Library of the Historical Society of Harford County. One should also consult the Inventory of Mary/and Bib/e Recordr published by the Genealogical Council of Maryland (1989).
                               (G) = The Historical Society of Harford County. Source "Gl" is information from the Society's "Bulletin, " including the genealogical notes of Jon Harlan Livezey. Source "G2" is a list of presidential electors of Harford County in 1789.

                               (I) = Index to Estate Administrations. 1774-1790, and also supplemented with the names of the administrators. For more information one should consult Heirs and Legatees of Harford County, 1774-1802, by Henry C. Peden, Jr. (1989).
                               (J) = Births and Deaths from the Registers ofSt John's and St George's Parishes (only events between lm and 1790 were abstracted).

Information has been supplemented with marriage lists maintained in the Manuscript Division (MS.1999) of the Maryland Historical Society. Beware that the marriages published in Vol VIII of Publications of the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania (in 1923) contain many mistakes. A more accurate listing will be found in Mary/and Marriages, 1634-1777, by Robert W .Barnes (1975), andMary/andMaITiages, 1778-1800, by Robert W. Barnes (1979).

 Besides New England settlers numerous Scotch Irish make early settlements in Virginia, the Carolinas and a great majority of Ulster emigrants to America landed on the Delaware River.  Pennsylvania thus became a center for Presbyterian settlers.  From them have come list of distinguished citizens of our country.

After 1735 a continuous stream of emigrants from the province of Pensylvania went south and west.  Probably before 1698 Presbyterians were gathered in and around Lewes and Newcastle, Delaware and Philadelphia.
