About the year 1810 or 1811, she moved with her parents to Little Trevisker, a farm in the parish of St. Eval, Cornwall, England. Here she met and married James Rundellwho lived on an adjoining farm known as Great Trevisker. The young couple went to live in an adjoining village called Penrose, where they worked for James Rundell's parents, Richard Rundell and Elizabeth Truscott. Leter they moved to Little Tetaherick, Cornwall, England, to a farm which tehy leased for forty years.

      Fourteen children wre born to this union. The father passed away in 1839; a son, James in 1842; and a daughter, Sarah, also in 1842. As the remaining children grew to maturity, eleven migrated to America. While none of them engaged in mining, they settled in the lead mining district of Platteville, Wisconsin. They were; Eliza Rundell (Mrs. Stephen Carhart), in 1842, William, Thomas, and Samuel Rundell, 1848, Richard and Ann Rundell (Mrs. Richard Biddick), in 1850, Catherine Rundell (later Mrs. Peter Biddick), in 1851, and Betsy Paynter Rundell with Hercules Paynter, Betsy (Mrs. George Paul), Mary Jane (later Mrs. James Nichols), and Johnson Paynter Rundell, in 1853. They left behind the eldest son, John, who remained on the old home farm.

      Betsy Paynter Rundell lived in Mitchell Hollow until she and her son Jphnson bought part of what is now the Dale Rundell farm north of Rewey, Wisconsin. They bought this farm on 19 May, 1858. Later, sho moved back to Mitchell Hollow to be near her daughter, Betsy Paul. THere she passed away on 27 September, 1877, at the age of eigthy-seven years. She is buried at the Greenwood Cemetery, Platteville, Wisconsin, Grant County, Lot 9, Block B. Among the things she brought to this country were twelve china cups and saucers. She gave one of these to each of her children. She also brought a pitcher of old English pottery, which she gave to her youngest child, Johnson, who in turn gave it ot his oldest grandchild, Marcia Rundell Grindell. It is one of her most prized possessions. THe following lines were inscribed on the old pitcher: Let the wealthy and the great, Roll in splendor and state, O envy them not, I declare it. I eat my own lamb, My own chickens and ham, I shear my own fleece and i wear it. I have lawns, I have bowers, I have fruits, I have flowers, The lark is my morning alarmer. So jolly boys now, Here's God speed the plough, Long life and success to the farmer.
