    JOHN HUMPHREY

    1. When John Humphrey first appeared in the District of Little Britain, New York records in 1724, the area was in Ulster County, which later became Orange County. This is near present day Newburgh. John was the first settler there in 1724, when he purchased 250 acres of land that was part of the Andrew Johnston Patent known as Little Britain. He was a freeholder owner. From whence he came is a mystery. A correspondent, whose letter was mentioned in Frederick Humphreys book, surmised that John came in 1729 with the Patrick McClaughery group from Longford, Ireland. They first went to Philadelphia,
    Pennsylvania before settling at Little Britain. Since this was fully five years after John was known to be in Little Britain, his surmise does not appear to be correct. Further, Frederick Humphreys does not place the Little Britain family in any of the New England Humphrey families that he searched. The name of our family is spelled Umphrey in some of the early records.

    John Humphreys, of Welsh descent, was early in Chester County, Pennsylvania. He died intestate in Charlestown township on December 18, 1723. His wife Catherine survived him. His sons were David (born 1694), Morgan, Thomas, Daniel, and John. His son, John, inherited 9 pounds, 14-1 and did not appear in other records of Chester County. John Junior's line was untraced in the Humphreys Genealogy that was written by Allan Sparrow Humphreys. One tantalizing coincidence was that John Jr. of the Pa. line received an inheritance in 1723 and our John Humphrey purchased land in 1724. The Chester County Humphreys family stems from Hugh Ap Hugh who was alive in Wales in 1603, and Hugh born 1580. That Hugh was a Quaker and had children John, David and Humphrey Humphrey. Further research on this family might prove fruitful.

    Passenger Lists, (Ref: Filby) are as follows:

    John Humphreys, no age, Pennsylvania, 1682.
    Jno. Humphrey, no age, Pennsylvania, 1683.
    John Humphrey, no age, Philadelphia, Pa, 1682, wife Oan, no age,
    Jno Humphrey, age 12, America, 1702.
    The name Umphrey was not searched.

    New Jersey Patents and Deeds 1664-1703 lists a John Humphries who owned a lot in Burlington in the 1690's, on the street to Yorkshire bridge, next to Samuel Furnis. An Oliver Humphrey who was born in 1720, had a son Oliver born in 1750, who died in 1776 at Washington Heights, N.Y. The son was a prisoner aboard a prison ship in the Rev. War. He descended from Michael Humphrey of Windsor. Ct and does not seem to be connected to the New
    Windsor, N.Y. Humphrey family.

    Several members of our Humphrey family named their children Evans. A possible family line to research, would be John Evans who had a patent prior to 1755 in Orange County, N.Y.

    John Humphrey of the New York family of whom we treat, occupied his farm lot in the northern part of Little Britain, west of the division line in 1724, but did not take his deed until December 6, 1731. In 1724, he and James Gembell (Gambell) purchased 300 acres of the Patrick Hume Patent which they divided equally between them. This land had been surveyed May 23. The Hume Patent was in the District of the Highlands known as Little Britain which was erected and attached to New Paltz in 1709. In 1743, it was one of the precincts of Ulster County that was bounded east by the Hudson River and north by New Paltz town. In 1743, the Precinct meetings were held at the home of John Humphrey Jr. in New Windsor. He was presumably married by this time. James Gembell sold his share of the Hume Patent land to Patrick Byrne in 1744. In 1762, the Precinct was divided into the Precincts of Newburgh and New Windsor. John Humphrey sold his share of this land to Patrick McClaughry in 1769. It wasn't until 1799, when counties were reorganized, that New
    Windsor was, placed in Orange County.

    It was common for relatives to settle in new areas together. It is possible that James Gembell was related to John Humphrey. In 1729, Peter Mullinder and Robert Burnet of Raritan, New Jersey, purchased land nearby, as did John Young in 1730. In 1730, a widow, Mary McClaughry, purchased land bounded west by land of John Humphrey. William Young and Patrick McClaughry purchased land of the remainder of the Hume patent in 1749. People of these surnames married into the Humphrey family or were otherwise connected. John or William Young could have been the grandfather of Mary who married Oliver Humphrey.

    ...

    John Humphrey was an adult when he purchased land in 1724. It is likely that he was born circa 1700 or earlier. Having a probable son born in 1714, we could place his birth circa 1694. The various histories of Orange County do not report others by the name of Humphrey purchasing land at that time. Thus, it is probable that his sons were John Junior, Captain James and David Humphrey, who were with John in 1738 in the Foot Company of The Highlands Militia. This company was commanded by Captain Thomas Ellison. (Ref: Ruttenberger). Assuming that they were about age 20 at that time, they would have birth dates circa 1718. The gravestone of Captain James Humphrey gives a birth date of 1714. This fits nicely. He died July 5, 1793 and is buried in the Westminster Presbyterian Church Yard, New Windsor, N. Y. (Ref: Heembrock).

    It is likely that John was a member of the Presbyterian church. There were no schools in Little Britain until 1737. By 1740, there was probably a private school. (Ref: Ruttenberger).

    People who were witnesses to, or executors of Last wills and testaments were often related. John witnessed the Will of James Smith of the Precinct of the Highlands, on February 25, 1747.

    There was a Joseph Umphry in Little Britain who witnessed the Will of James Mclntire 4 July 1767, thus Joseph was probably born by 1747. Co witnesses were Arthur Beatty, and Samuel Boyd, (Ref: O.C.G.S. Newsl.).

    Some of the Humphrey family moved from Little Britain to Connecticut. Robert was a son of this branch of the family. Robert had a son who remained in Little Britain as late as 1878.

    In 1800, Robert Humphrey resided in Orange County, (census, p. 290). Robert Humphrey, who was born in 1752, was a Corporal in the N.Y. Militia. He lived in New Windsor in 1840. He resided with Charles C. Humphrey.

    In 1800, Henry, Timothy and William Humphrey resided in Ulster County and are found on the census, pp. 195, 233 and 196, respectively. Thus Henry and William live close to one another. Timothy Humphrey served in Ct in the Rev. War, thus could be from a different Humphrey family.

    A William Humphrey, served in the 2nd Ulster Reg't. He signed the Articles of Association. He was taken prisoner in 1777 and exchanged 1778. He was probably born by 1759 judging by the date of his marriage. He m. 4 May 1779 at New Windsor Presbyterian Church. Catherine DuBois of an early Ulster Co. family. She was the daughter of Matthew DuBois and Mary Welling. (Ref: Heidgerd, DuBois). This is the same church where James Humphrey m. Phebe Howell. William was probably of generation 3, also.

    Frederick Humphreys notes in his book that from generations 2-6, the Little Britain Humphrey family had three captains of the Revolutionary and 1812 Wars, one lieutenant, one county surrogate, one lawyer and a teacher.

    CAPTAIN JAMES HUMPHREY AND JANE

    2. Capt. James, probable son of John, was b. 29 Dec. 1714 and d. 5 July 1793, 78 yr, 6 months. He is buried at Westminster Presbyterian Church yard in Little Britain. He married Jane, b. 1718, d. 16 Dec. 1789.

    CHILDREN OF JAMES AND JANE: Generation 3

    a., Agnes m. James McClaughry Nov. 28, 1763 at Staten Island, Richmond Co. (Ref: LDS 514675). He was the son of Patrick and Mary McClaughry. Patrick made his Will in Sept. of 1774. James McClaughry of Little Britain, son-in-law of Capt. James Humphrey, made a Will 17 July, proved 22 Sept. 1790. He owned a farm bordering Bucham, formerly Scott's, then Clinton's. James Humphrey had possession of part of this land. A James McClaughry was Justice of the Peace in Orange Co. in 1767. He owned several slaves which were mentioned in his will. He mentioned a nephew James McClaughrey (Tilford?), son of his brother-in-law Alexander Tilford and wife Mary, but mentions no children of his own. This James had a sister Mary, but she was married to George Denniston in 1774, the time of Patrick McClaughrey's will. Inventory was taken by William Telford and Robert R. Burnet, (Ref: Anjou).

    possible son: Capt. James

    HUGH HUMPHREY AND NANCY PEACOCK

    3. Hugh (John 1) was not in the militia in 1738, and may have been too young at that time. He was probably married by 1749 since he had a child who was born in 1750. Nancy Peacock, his wife, was probably born circa 1727-32, in Ireland. Hugh was probably born circa 1722-1729. He made a will April 9, 1794, which was recorded at Kingston, N.Y. in Liber B, p. 429. His wife was not named in his will, so probably predeceased him. Hugh was on the Committee of Safety in 1775-77 and was exempt from active service. The Public Records of George Clinton, records that the exempts of New Windsor were between the ages of 50 and 55. If Hugh was over age 50, his birth would be 1725 or earlier, thus he would have been about 13 years of age in 1738, and too young for the militia. The family was small for those days, adding to the probability of his wife's early death, after 1763.

    A Committee of Safety was appointed by each town during the Revolutionary War. The committees had the power to appoint assessors and collectors to support home government. They were empowered to enforce collection from defaulters, to arrest, and to suppress enemies of the Revolutionary Government.

    Hugh Humphrey was a farmer and was noted for his kind and benevolent disposition. He was a town officer for New Windsor in the following capacities: 1776 Overseer of Roads, 1777-78 and 1781, Highway Master. (Ref: Ruttenberger). In the 1790 census, he was listed in Ulster-County, New Windsor, with four free white males over 16, and two free white females over 16 in his household. He raised 3 charity children and adopted Mary Young, who m. his son Oliver, (Ref: Humphreys). I do not know if adoption records for this time period are available.

    Notes: Samuel Boyd and Hugh Humphrey owned land adjoining Patrick McClaughery in 1774 in Ulster Co. (Ref: Ruttenberger) .

    Robert Boyd's Will is found in Liber C, p 246. He had wife Eleanor and sons Nathaniel, George and Samuel.

    Notes: The Historical Society at Canandaigua lists an Obituary for a Capt. Charles Humphrey who d. May 6, 1835, age 74, at Phelps. This would make his birth date 1761. I did not read his obituary for lack of time.

    Hugh and Phebe had a granddaughter Margret Humphrey, to whom he left a chince (sic) gown in his Will.

    George was a possible son or nephew, not in the Will of Hugh, but certainly related. He was b. 31 May 1757 in Ulster Co. N.Y., d. 22 Aug. 1833, 76 yrs, 2 months, 22 d. He m. Mercy who d. 3 July 1849, 83 yrs. Both are buried in the Humphrey cemetery at Phelps. All of the other early Humphrey graves in this cemetery were sons of Hugh, which seemingly attaches him to Hugh. He scheduled an auction in Ontario County on July 1819 to recover a mortgage. George Humphrey of Phelps, had an unmarried daughter Hannah, who d. June 10, 1818, at age 19 in Newburgh, N.Y., (Ref: Bowman).

    He was probably the Signer of the Articles of Association in New Windsor, and the George who was taken prisoner by the British on 6 Oct. 1777 - Aug. 10, 1778. He was residing in New Windsor in 1790. A George Humphrey was a Private, in the 2nd Ulster Co. Regiment from Oct. 6, 1777 to August 10, 1778.

    There is a five year gap between the first two children of Hugh. A child may have been born between these dates.

    After the Revolution, settlements spread rapidly in Upstate N.Y. In 1790, the Military Tract in Central N.Y. was surveyed and opened to settlement. This tract covered 1,500,000 acres east of Seneca Lake. The land was awarded to settlers as a reward for military service. Many of these veterans already had good farms and did not want the backbreaking work of clearing a wilderness. These men sold their land to speculators and other individuals, (Ref: Clint). Since Oliver and Charles had Land Bounty Rights, we might assume they exercised their rights and settled on such land in Ontario County. Hugh was in the last years of his life when five of his six known children settled at Phelps. Evans settled at Albany.

    JAMES HUMPHREY AND PHEBE HOWELL

    5. James (Hugh 2, John1 ) was b. 23 Dec. 1755 in New Windsor. He d. 15 September 1834, and was buried at Oaks Corners, Phelps, Ontario County, N.Y. He m. Phebe Howell in April 1786 at New Windsor Presbyterian Church. She was the daughter of Jedidiah (Hezekiah) and Elizabeth (Rev. Ebeneaer Gould) Howell, of a prominent Southampton, Long Island family. She d. 1817. A relative was Edward Howell who went into the mercantile business with James.

    James enlisted in the Continental Army in April 1776 for three months, then reenlisted until October 1779. He was an Orderly and Sergeant, and was pensioned. He signed the Articles of Association of New Windsor, served under McClaughery and Telford in 1776, and was captured at Fort Montgomery, Oct. 6, 1777. During his captivity, all his personal belongings were taken from him, causing him needless suffering. He was confined in the old North Church until October 28, then transferred to the prison ship "Good Intent". Then a private, he was exchanged Aug. 10, 1778. His Pension number was S44958.

    Frederick Humphreys, author, was in error calling James Humphrey a Captain on page 985 in his book.

    On Nov. 15, 1790, 200 acres of land was surveyed for James Humphrey at Phelps, north of Seneca Lake.

    OLIVER HUMPHREY AND MARY YOUNG

    6. Oliver (Hugh 2, John 1) was born 8 December, 1758 at Little Britain, N.Y,, which was then in Ulster, now Orange County. He died 28 Sept. 1843, age 85, at Phelps, N.Y. The History of Ontario County by Turner gives his date of death incorrectly. He married Mary Young, called "Polly", by 1790, probably in Little Britain. She was b. 1772, d. 24 June 1822, age 51. The Humphrey bible mentions two Mary Humphreys. The other was the daughter of Hugh and Phebe. Both died on dates, close to one another. One Mary listed in the bible died June 18, 1823. I believe this to be Oliver's wife, with the year off target. The other died August 29, 1823. I believe this to be the baby daughter of Hugh and Phebe. Oliver was 14 yrs older than his wife. They are both buried in the Humphrey Cemetery in Phelps.

    Oliver was a signer of the Articles of Association in New Windsor. He enlisted as a Private, soldier, at age 18, in the Revolutionary War, had Land Bounty Rights and was awarded Pension S13485.

    ...

    Oliver became a Major in the Phelps Militia and served in the War of 1812, going to the defense of Buffalo. He engaged in the action at Queenston and Lundy's Lane, (Ref: Turner, Ridley).

    7. Charles (Hugh 2, John 1) was b. 29 January 1763 at Little Britain. He d. 22 April 1835, age 72 years, two months, 24 days. He m. first, Betsey Burnet and second Charity Van Auken, widow of Lodowick Vandermark.

    Note that the above death date was taken from the Phelps cemetery listing in The Humphreys Family in America. The Phelps Historical Society has a cemetery book which lists the only Charles buried there as having d. April 22, 1825, age 53 yrs, 2 mo, 24 days. A record of an obituary found in the Canandaigua Historical Society mentions Capt. Charles Humphrey of Phelps, May 6, 1835, age 74. This may be date the newspaper was printed. This lends more credence to The Humphreys book than to the typed page from the Phelps Historical Society.

    Charles served in the Revolution in the Second Ulster Regiment, was awarded Pension S13503 and had Land Bounty Rights. He settled at Phelps on a large tract of land in 1791, was a town officer in 1796 and Commissioner of Highways in the 1790's.

    RELATED HUMPHREY LINE IN PHELPS, UNPLACED

    George (prob. Hugh 2) and Mercy Humphrey, and Charles (Hugh 2) and Betsey Burnet Humphrey, are buried in the Humphrey cemetery at Phelps. John 2nd and wife Elizabeth, and William and wife Harriet are also buried there.

    John the 2nd was probably of the fourth generation. He was b. 17 May 1800 and d. Nov. 21, 1860, age 60, 6 mo., 4d. He married Elizabeth, b. 8 Feb. 1803, who d. 21 May 1859, age 56 years, 3 months, 13 days. John the 2nd was probably the son of George or Charles. With Charles and William living next to him who were probably his sons, and no known son George, his most probable parents were Charles and Betsey.
    Note that an LDS film of the cemetery gives his death Nov. 4, 1866, with broken stone, if I copied from the film correctly.

    On the 1850 census, living ten houses away from John (Oliver 3) and Perlina Humphrey, was John b. 1800 in N.Y.S. He had a wife Elizabeth b. ca 1802 in N.Y.S. and children Sophia, b. 1833 and Charlotte L., born 1847. He was a farmer, with real estate valued at $10,000. This may have been John 2nd.

    Charles (Hugh 2, John 1) was known to have a son John, who lived on his homestead after his death. (Ref: Turner).
