My RUMMEL ancestors came from Germany in the early 1700's. They settled in Pennsylvania near Philadelphia . A son, Henrich, moved to Cumberland County, Pennsylvania (near Carlysle) and in 1808, moved west to Columbiana County, Ohio. My ancestor, Henry, was born Cumberland County, Pennsylvania in 1802 and moved with his parents to Columbiana County, Ohio, where he grew to manhood. He married Elizabeth PERKEY in 1825, then moved his growing family to Steuben County, Indiana in September of 1844. This is part of the story of this pioneer family.
