2. | Nathaniel Humphrey was born between 1790 and 1800 in VA (son of John Humphrey and Susan Epperson); died between 1861 and 1870 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 Weaver between 1840 and 1843. Elizabeth was born between 1805 and 1817 in NC; died on 08 Apr 1883; was buried in Wilson Cemetery, Anderson Co, TN. [Group Sheet] |
