The Humbertson home had no door, a bearskin serving to protect the opening; the bare earth formed its floor; their meal consisted largely of corn, pounded to the required fineness by hand, on a large rock; meat, which was provided by the wild game then abundant in the vicinity, was cooked over a pole fire. All their own clothing was made at home, The nearest market, where the few thing required which could not be produced at home, were to the had, in exchange for hides and pelts, was Fredericktown, Maryland, over one hundred miles distant, across mountains and unbridged streams. Everything had to be carried on horseback, as there were no roads passable for wagons, had the settlers possessed any such conveniences for transportation. William Humbertson married Sarah Lowes [Loar, d/o Jacob Loar and Sarah Eckhart, in July 1818], and each attained the age of eighty years, full of vitality through all their busy days; neither ever had a dose of medicine prescribed for their use nor needed it. They were the parents of ten children, five sons and five daughters: Thomas H., Jane [married John Hann in 1843], Jacob [married Louisa Shaw, d/o Henry N Shaw and Sidney Thompson, in 1844], Rebecca [married William H Parker in 1844], Monnah [Hannah married John D Koontz], William [married Mary Kate Glotfelty], George [married Marietta Bateman], Sarah, Solomon and Rachel [married John McConnell]…"
