Thank you for the post and information about Rumley. I am doing some research on my VINEY/VIRES families and came across this post.

William VIERS who died in 1878 was my 5th great grandfather. He was born free and was the son of Benjamin VIERS/VIRES/VIARS/VIA, originally a free person of color from Virginia who served in the Revolutionary War and moved to Ohio in the 1830s.
