Excerpt from Popular Life of Gen. George A. Custer: Major-General of Volunteers, Brevet Major-General Army, and Lieutenant-Colonel Seventh U. S. Cavalry

Eorge armstrong custer was born in New Rumley, Ohio, December 5, 1839. New Rumley is a group of houses, an Old established settlement, in Harrison County, on the border Of Pennsylvania, and peopled from thence early in the last century. It is a small place, not set down on any but very large scale maps, and most of the population of the township is scattered in farm houses about the country. The family history, gleaned from the family Bible, is plain and simple. It is that of an honest group of hard workers, not ashamed of work, and it shows that the stock of which the future general came was good, such as made frontiersmen and pioneers in the last century.
