Humphries in Scarfe/Scaife will Dekalb Co. GA 1841
Posted by: Charlene Herreid (ID *****2744) Date: September 02, 2007 at 06:11:09
  of 1939

In researching the Humphries family in Dekalb County, Ga., I came across the following entry in Dekalb County Will Book A (1841-1869).

William Scarfe
Page 1-3
Daus: Elizabeth Foote, Sarah Hancock
Sons: Heirs of William Jr. (decd), heirs of Jesse (decd), Cherne?
Ferdaman? Jemerson.
To: ______ Humphries
Wife: Elizabeth
Exrs: W. and Joel F. Scarfe

Source: Dekalb County, Georgia Probate Records by Jeanette Holland Austin, 2001, Willow Bend Books, p. 1.

I am positive that this is actually William Scaife (rather than Scarfe), who was previously of Chester Co. SC and whose first wife was supposedly Margaret Terry.

There is a Charner Scaife mentioned in the will of Bennett Humphries of Chester Co. SC. I think that "Cherne?" in this will is the same person.

Please get in touch if you would like to discuss the Scaifes and their relationship to the Humphries family of Chester District SC and Dekalb Co. GA.

Thanks.
