This is the first of the Ormsbys that I knew personally, as Frank A. Ormsby was my grandfather. He was born in Howard Twp., Steuben County, New York. He was the only child of Adin Ormsby and Sylvia Green. Frank's father died as a soldier in the Civil War and his mother remarried in 1867. Frank (age 2 years, 4 months) and his mother (A.K..A. "Silvey") appear on the Steuben County census of 1865. In 1867 Frank's mother was reniarried to a Morton Brown and all three moved to Rosenhayn, Cumberland County, New Jersey. Frank continued to live in Rosenhayn even after his mother and stepfather had returned to New York. Frank married a Lillie L. Schortz (also spelled Shortz in some documents) from the Bethlehem area.They had a total of eight children but only five lived until maturity. Frank and his family moved to Williamstown, New Jersey about 1910 and lived at 380 Walnut Street. He worked as a clothing cutter when in Rosenhayn and in the Bodine Glass factory when he moved to Williamstown. He also worked for the Camden Forge Company for several years later in his life. Frank, his wife Lillie, and three of their children are buried at the Rosenhayn Cemetary, Bridgeton Avenue, Rosenhayn, New Jersey.
