My husband's great grandfather was Andrew
Jackson Umphreys,
Humphreys,
Humphrey. He was born in
Illinois in 1853 or 1854. The first concrete evidence I have is his marriage certificate in
Moultrie Co. Illinois showing his marriage to
Hannah Jane
Willis on 23 Oct 1873. His name is spelled Umphreys. I also find an Andrew J Umphreys in the 1860 census (age 7) and a John Umphreys (age 11) living with Henry
Snider and his wife, Elizabeth, in
Moultrie Co. Illinois. I believe this boy to be the same Andrew
Jackson.
Later, I find he and
Hannah Jane in
Texas and the last name is spelled
Humphreys. During his childrens' lifetime, the last name is spelled
Humphrey. I have enormous amounts of information on Andrew
Jackson and
Hannah Jane and their descendents from the time they settled in
Texas and later in
Arizona. Desperately need help finding his earlier lineage.
