H. 1. James Humphrey was a descendant of the Scotch ancestry who removed from Scotland about the year 1612 and settled in Ireland, Province of Ulster, and who came to America in the year 1745, and landed at Philadelphia. Of his parents and more remote ancestors nothing is now known. They probably died in Ireland. He had one uncle in this country, who was among the early settlers of Londonderry. His name was William Humphrey, and he settled, lived and died on a farm situated on what is still called Humphrey's Hill, in the south part of the town of Londonderry, N. H. James Humphrey, soon after his arrival in America, left Pennsylvania and came to Londonderry, and about the year 1751 married Hannah Thompson. Of her ancestors nothingis known, but it is supposed that her parents came from Ireland and lived and died in Londonderry. After this marriage, they rented land in Londonderry, in which town all her children were born. About the year 1756 they removed to Derryfield, now the city of Manchester, where he purchast a farm on what is called Humphrey's Brook. It was situated one mile west of McGregor's Bridge, and three-forths of a mile east of the City Hall. He lived on that farm six or seven years and then sold it to his wife's brother, Hugh Thompson, and moved to Londonderry. The sum received for the farm was probably not more than $200. He next went to the State of New York, to a town called Cherry Valley. Being much pleased with the country, he returned with the intention of removing his family to Cherry Valley, but as his wife was unwilling to remove to such a distance from Londonderry, he gave up on the plan and purchased a lot of unimproved land, containing 100 acres, of Deacon Tagert, situated in the south part of Londonderry, in what is Called Colray. The price paid for the land was probably not more than $150. He there built a small frame house, 25x20 feet, divided in to three apartments---one kitchen and two bedrooms. He there lived, and by close application to labor and assistance of his sons, they cleared a portion of his farm and obtained a comfortable living and and enjoyed as much happiness as falls to the lot of families in general.
