They had several children as follows:

Philip (baptised at Fressingfield, 21st October 1709), lived 2 weeks;
John (baptised at Fressingfield, 23rd March 1710-11) married (at Dennington, 2nd October 1738) Sarah Parker. John died age 71 (at Dennington, 1791) and Sarah died age 83 (at Dennington, 1798);
Philip (baptised at Dennington, 12th August 1718);
James Rumsey (born at Dennington, August 1723, but baptised at Brundish 29th August 1723), married (at Dennington, 23rd June 1744) Rebecca Keeble. Both James and Rebecca died at Dennington (1752).
6. [RUMS641] James (details not traced), see later.

Philip [Rumsey] died (age 79) at Horham (September 1760). It would appear that the events at Dennington and Brundish relate to one family (probably Rumsby), and events at Fressingfield, Laxfield and Horham relate to another family (probably Rumsey). However, a William Rumsby died at Fressingfield (1749) suggesting the possibility he could have been the father of the following 6. James. Therefore the above supposed connection with Philip Rumsby is most suspect.

Alternatively, a James Rumsby (son of James & Elizabeth) was baptised at Brundish (3rd July 1720).

6. [RUMS641] James Rumsby (possibly born August 1723) married (at Fressingfield, 1st June 1747) [SUST642] Phoebe Suster (born 1722, see SUSTER). They had ten children, the majority of whom were born and baptised at Fressingfield as follows:

James [Rumsey] (-), died young (buried at Laxfield, 3rd September 1749);
James (born at Fressingfield, baptised there 10th February 1750-51), died young at Fressingfield (buried there 13th January 1754);
5. [RUMS651] John (born at Fressingfield, 9th September 1754), see later;
Benjamin (born c.1756), married (at Fressingfield, 3rd February 1778) Sarah Baxter;
Robert (born at Fressingfield, baptised there 6th January 1760), married (at Fressingfield, 2nd December 1784) Penelope Richards;
Phebe (born at Fressingfield, baptised there 1st April 1763), died young (at Fressingfield, October 1765);
James (born at Fressingfield, baptised there 3rd November 1765), married (at Cratfield, 5th November 1787) Elizabeth Keable;

Mary (baptised 10th August 1777), married (at Fressingfield, 10th February 1801) Abednego Dent;
John (baptised 24th January 1779), died young at Fressingfield (buried there 28th April 1785, though this date overlaps a later John);
