Is anyone out there researching George Humphreys/Humphries of Pulaski Co., KY?
I am studying a Humphries family that lived in Pendleton District SC in the early 1800s. This family was related to John and Catherine Humphries who had moved to Pendleton District, SC from Wake Co., NC about the year 1800. John Humphries left his will in Pendleton District in 1808.
There is a George Humphries mentioned in several Pendleton records living near Brushy Creek of the Saluda River. He first appears in the land records about 1792 and disappears in 1800.
The last land record for him in Pendleton District reads as follows:
Book? Pages 125-126: I George Humphrey for $150 sold to [left out] McClardy, 150 acres part of tract granted to Mas(?) Wadsworth and Turpin on Saluda River on Brushy Creek. Wit: Phillip Bowles, Ben. (?) Clardy…Charlotte (X) Humphrey, wife of George Humphrey, released dower to Robert McCann, 28 Oct. 1800. Benjamin Clardy made oath to Robt. McCann, J. P., 28 Oct. 1800. Rec: 20 Jan 1801.”
Reference: Willie, Betty (1982), Pendleton District SC Deed, 1790-1806, p. 232
Just for fun, I looked up George and Charlotte Humphries in the 1850 census and found a couple with those names in Pulaski County, KY. George was 80 and Charlotte was 75, so they were old enough to be the same George and Charlotte who had lived in Pendleton District around the turn of the century. George was born in NC and Charlotte was born in SC. Most if not all of the Humphries in Pendleton District came from NC originally.
There are George Humphrieses in both the 1800 Pendleton and Pulaski Co. censuses. But it could be that George actually moved during the year of 1800 and was enumerated in both places. The census records are remarkably alike. George in Pulaski had 2 males 10-16 that were not in Pendleton George’s family and 2 additional females under the age of 10, but otherwise the counts in each category are identical. Maybe George brought some nieces and nephews with him to KY and that accounts for the extra people.
I would like to exchange information with George’s descendants. We might find similarities of family names, etc., that would aid in identifying the Georges in Pendleton District, SC and Pulaski County, KY. Hope to hear from someone. Some children attributed to George are Mary (Polly), Franky, William, and Morris Humphries.
Thank you.
