About 1730, Joseph Pixley came from Westfield, with a family of eight children, several of them grown to manhood, and settled north of the Pixley Brook. ... Joseph Pixley - born March 9, 1676 - was the son of William Pixley of Hadley. The names of his children in the order of their births, all of whom are said to have removed with him to this place, were: Jonah, Joseph, Abigail, Moses, John, Jonathan, David and Clark. Joseph Pixley was the owner of three rights, and his son Jonah of one. To these rights lands were assigned, extending form the Josiah Phelps home lot southerly, on both sides of the highway eighty rods, nearly to the Pixley Brook. The lands included the present dwelling places of the late Lewis G. Ramsey and Lebbeus M. Pixley, and perhaps also those of Mark Humphrey and Jeremiah Atwood. ... Of this family - Isaac Pixley - settled where Mark Humphrey now lives, and kept a tavern there. His house was burned in 1787, and he then built an old red house, in which David Humphrey for many years resided, which has been recently taken down.
