1. | Johanas (John) HUMPHREY was born about 1620 in Kingsbury Episcopi, Somersetshire, ENG (son of Jacob (James) HUMPHREY and Johane DENMAN); died in Jan 1682 in Drayton Parish, Somerset, England; was buried on 9 Jan 1682 in Drayton Parish, Somerset, England. Notes:
We know that John is the father of our Elizabeth Humphries because he is listed as her father in her brother James' christening record. We knew her birthdate from Somerset Quaker records previously. I have found only a few other siblings for them in the records in Kingsbury or Drayton where Joane died. With the gap in their ages, it's highly likely that they had other siblings not in the published records or that their mother had a series of miscarriages.
John is listed as the son of a Humfrie in the Kingsbury Episcopi records if he is the Johannes baptized in 1620 there. Kingsbury Episcopi is where most of the earliest Humfry's in co. Somerset, England can be found. There are several possible father's of this John in Kingsbury at the time. They are George, b. 1597, son of Thomas; Peeter b. 1597, son of William; and James b. 1595 who married Johane Denman in 1614. James was the son of William b. 1595 according to Somerset baptismal records. Both the names James and Peter are repeated in this family with James being the more common choice and Peter repeated only once.
I'm working off the theory that our John is the son of James as he names his first born son James. The only other possibilities I've found are 1) a John and Mary that married in 1613 in Drayton, Somerset, England, 2) a John and Agnis Humfry that married in Drayton in 1610 or 3) An Edward and Havis Hue Humfrey who married in Drayton in 1623. The best fit and theory is that John is the son of James b. 1595.
Johanas married Joan before 1647. Joan was born before 1632 in Of Wiltshire, England; died on 3 Aug 1679 in Drayton Parish, Somerset, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
