Born in Oxford, Worcester, MA in 1770 to Arthur Humphrey b. 1735 Woodstock, CT (then MA) and his wife Mary Kingsbury. His parents moved from Oxford, MA to Goshen, NH about the time of Shea's Rebellion. Arthur's grandfather was Capt. Ebenezer Humphrey 1692-1794 (born Woodstock, CT - died Oxford, MA) and his father Arthur Humphrey 1673-1762 was one of the original settlers of the towns of Woodstock, CT and Ashford, CT.
Arthur and a brother Ebenezer later settled in Corinth, Orange Co. VT.
The two set out from Corinth, VT for the west sometime between 1800-1809 traveling by ox-cart with their families. Arthur and his family bought land from the Holland Land Company and are considered among the first handful of settlers in the town of Holland, NY. His brother Ebenezer continued west, settling near the town of Patriot, Switzerland Co, IN, near the banks of the Ohio River.
Arhur was father of 8 children:
Lois Humphrey 1803-1875
Alithea Humphrey 1804-1816
Polly Humphrey 1806-1835
Morgan Humphrey 1810-1810
Arthur Kingsbury Humphrey 1815-1891
Isaac Humphrey d. Dec. 1, 1867 Victoria, B.C., Canada
Eliza Humphrey d. 1835
James Morgan Humphrey 1819-1899 (buried in Buffalo, NY - Forest Lawn Cemetery Find A Grave Memorial# 6690917
In 1813 Arthur Humphrey built a fort on his family farm (the Humphrey cemetery is on the property of the original homestead) called Fort Humphrey. It was a defensive fort meant for the residents of the area to take refuge in the event of a possible invasion by the British from Canada. This never happened, and the fort was never used.
Arthur Humphrey's son Arthur K. Humphrey left Holland, NY in the fall of 1860, taking their small children with them. Rumor has it that they left town at midnight - suggesting that they left behind debts or land that was never fully paid for...the farmland around Holland of inferior quality to the rich lands of Iowa.
Arthur Humphrey's grandson Arthur Luther Humphrey b. 1860 Holland, NY - d. 1939 Pittsburgh achieved fame as the President of Westinghouse Air Brake in Pittsburgh in the 1900-1930 era, after serving as a railroad mechanic for many years in places all across the west.
