Humphrey served in the Revolution in Capt Pray's Company, 1780. He and his family lived in N Berwick or at Oak Woods, Berwick. The census of 1790 lists 3 males over 16, 3 males under 16, and 6 females in the household. The late Richard Day and his wife Barbara of N Berwick were an invaluable source of help with this branch of the family. Humphrey's will, written 20 Feb 1792 and proved 30 Mar 1792 (YP #2635) lists all of his children, with the bulk of his real and personal estate going to his son Daniel, and 5 shillings to all other children. (The Oxford Democrat, March 19, 1872, erroneously says Capt Simeon, below, was son of Humphry and Mary Libby Chadbourne.)
