• Notes

  RUMBALL, Chas. - An old friend of the Tyes in England. He came to Canada in 1844, making his home with Daniel Tye for the first three years, joining his half-sister, Mary Ann, who was already attached to the Tye household. In 1852 at Port Talbot he married Miss Saunders, an old friend of his host and an aunt of Judge McBeth. He shortly afterwards moved to Muskoka, near Port Sydney, where he died. He was a man of many artistic gifts, being a first-class amateur actor, a rare narrator, a splendid cartoonist and an author of some local repute. These gifts are not much in demand in a pioneer community and his lack of business ability caused loss of fortune. The family is rather a distinguished one in England, and at their Country Seat, Friday Hall, Clingford, had in days gone by often entertained King Charles II., The Merry Monarch. The story goes that on one of these visits the King returning from a hunt in Epping Forest to the Rumball's, noticed a huge and tempting hot loin of beef on the table. He drew his sword and knighted the cut, dubbing it Sir Loin, a name which still clings to this portion of the carcass. The Misses Tye, of Pomona Grove, Haysville, have an old oil painting of the Virgin and Child and two family portraits on ivory, the work of Miss Mary Ann Rumball, the half sister referred to above and whose remains are interred at Nith Grove. Another sister, after living with Mr. Daniel Tye for some years, returned to England and there married Sir John Hersey, a distinguished English General who afterwards lived at Holland House, the London residence of the Right Honourable Charles James Fox.
