Henson Humphrey

Notes:

Nathan's son Henson married Jane P (maiden name unknown) (B Jan 23, 1835 in TN - both parents born in NC) about 1857 and Henson died on Aug 2, 1858 shortly before the birth of his only child; Hillery (B Oct 22, 1858 in TN). Jane and Hillery were living with Nathan in 1860. Moses B Wright was the administrator of Henson's estate and he, along with Nathan Humphrey, transferred a deed of the late Henson Humphrey to Hillery on Feb 25, 1861 for 40 acres of land in Union Co, District #7 (at the time of Henson's death, this land was located in Anderson Co, District #1). Henson's wife Jane remarried to this Moses B Wright (B Oct 22, 1811 in TN - both parents born in NC) on Aug 30, 1862. Hillery continued living with his grandparents after Jane's marriage to Moses.

Henson's son Hillery sold the tract of 40 acres of land that he had inherited from his father in 1861 to Bradford Weaver on Oct 23, 1879. This was one day after Hillery's 21st birthday so evidently, the land was in trust until he reached that age. Parties involved or who shared a property line were Nathan Humphrey, Henson Humphrey (deceased), Thomas Humphrey, and E B Wright. The transfer was witnessed by Robert J Wright and J R Wright.

Henson married Jane Primrose Irick on 30 Aug 1862 in Anderson Co, TN. Jane (daughter of Solomon DeMarcus and Elizabeth Irick) was born on 23 Jan 1835 in TN; died on 27 May 1903; was buried in Wright Cemetery, Anderson Co, TN. [Group Sheet]

1. Hillery Humphrey was born on 22 Oct 1858 in TN.

Notes:

Nathaniel (he was known as Nathan) bought 200 acres of land in Grainger Co, TN from Joseph Owen on Nov 1, 1805. Based on Nathan's range of ages from census records, he would have been from five to fifteen years old when this transaction occurred. Nathan paid taxes on this 200 acres of land in 1810 and 1821. Nathan sold his land in Grainger Co to Jacob Kinder on Aug 22, 1822 (the same date as his father, John selling his land - evidently they sold their land together and moved to Anderson Co). Nathan had moved to Anderson County, TN by 1830 (as did John), was living in that county in 1840 and 1850, and had moved to Union County, TN in 1860.

Nathaniel married Elizabeth Young on 13 Jul 1812 in Grainger Co, TN. Elizabeth was born in in NC; died before 1840 in TN. [Group Sheet]

He was also listed on the Grainger Co, TN tax rolls in 1804, 1814, and 1821. John was picked to serve on a grand jury in Grainger Co, TN on Aug 15, 1803.

John married Susan Epperson before 1790. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Henry's will was written on Jan 30, 1760 and proved on Nov 28, 1760 so Henry had died by that date. In his will, he appoints his wife as executrix, names his seven children, and states that all of his children were under eighteen years of age. He divides his estate equally between his wife and children and leaves either one hundred acres of land or cash with which to buy land to his sons.

Henry married Sarah before 1747. Sarah was born about 1716; died after 1776. [Group Sheet]
