Can someone help me fill in the blanks in this Jefferson County, Mississippi, family (dates and places of birth, marriage, death, any children)?

Elizabeth McDonald, d. in Jefferson Co., MS, married ____ Humphries. Children (I don’t know their birth order)
1. John McDonald Humphries
2. Margaret, married Daniel Osteen in Jefferson County, MS, on 4 August 1828. Daniel Osteen purchased items from the estate of Thomas Sutton (whose wife was Phebe Humphries - is she related to this family?) on January 5, 1831.
3. Richard Humphries (spelled Humphrey, also purchased items from the estate of Thomas Sutton)
4. David Humphries, married Elizabeth Allen. Known child: Elijah Jefferson Humphreys, b. 1825-1830 Jefferson Co. Elizabeth married second to Hampton Pennington.
5. Mariah Humphries married Stephen Allen in 1829 Jefferson County, MS (Stephen also purchased items from the estate of Thomas Sutton. William S. Allen officiated the marriage of Thomas Sutton and Phebe Humphries in 1820, Jefferson County).

In 1820, Elizabeth McDonald Humphries remarried to Samuel Culberston Brady in Jefferson County, MS. At least one child: Stephen Alexander Brady.

On April 22, 1835, Stephen Allen and Phebe Humphries Sutton sold land in Claiborne County, MS, to John B. Thrasher. The land was “lot number one eight and sixteen section no. 26 township no. 13 of range no. one east containing 160 and 40/100 acres.” John B. Thrasher was a prominent lawyer in Claiborne County and owned a plantation in Tensas Parish, LA, called “Yucatan”.
