Notes:

BIOGRAPHY: "Having been given a grant of land in the new plantation, at that time called Massaco,(after 1670) Marys' father Simon took his family consisting of himself and wife Mary, children Mary, Hannah, John and Sarah, over the Talcott Mountains, to a new home in the undeveloped plantation, later named Simsbury, Connecticut. Michael Humphreys, father of Samuel, was also one of the early Grantees at Massaco. Mary and her future husband Samuel Humphreys, grew up in Simsbury under similar conditions, both experienceing the hardships of pioneer living, and the concern caused by the Indian hostilities to be followed by the burning of Simsbury on 26 March 1676 (History of Hartford County, 1633-1884 by J. Hammond Trumbull, Vol. II, p 342). Mary and her parents lived in Simsbury about five years before, in response to a town warning, caused by an expected Indian attack, the family returned to Windsor. On this return trip, Mary then about fourteen years of age, must have shared with her mother, the care of the six other children, all younger. It may have been after Mary's brother Simon Mills Jr. was born about 1678, that the Mills family went back to continue their residence in Simsbury. By this time it is assumed that a new house had been built. A short time after their return, probably 1680, Mary married Samuel Humphreys". BIOGRAPHY: About the time of their marriage, Mary's father gave land to his son-in-law, Samuel: "Saml Humphries House lott; Land in Simsbury...belonging to Saml Humphries..one parcell which he ye sd Saml Humphries have on his father mils; fer a House lot; which house lot is Scituate at wetoug...and is by estimation four accres one rodd and Tweenty perches be it more or les s..." BIOGRAPHY: It is thought that Samuel and Mary Humphreys lived in that part of Simsbury, east of the Farmington River, known as Weatogue Houses, and that their home lot may have adjoined that of Mary's brother Simon who, in accord with the final order of distribution inherited his father's home lot." BIOGRAPHY: On 6 July 1683, Mary's father died. Mary's share of her father's Estate signed for by her husband Samuel Humphreys, as given on the original papers, is itemized and reads, in part, as follows; To Samuel Humfrys Husband to Mary the eldest dayghter--a home lott; a cow.. a rug; a bedstead; one chest...two pewter; a great kettle... two smoothing Irons; a cradle... The value totaled 13 pounds, 16 shillins and 3 pence. BIOGRAPHY: Mary's mother married Samuel Bissell of Windsor and upon her death on 24 Jun 1718 read; "Group 1 unto my eldest daughter Mary the wife of Samuel Humphreys, my pillion 2 & to said Mary, & to My Daughters Hannah and Elizabeth all my waring cloaths to be divided equally amongst them thre". BIOGRAPHY: It appears that a close relationship between the Mills and Humphreys families continued through many generations, and several Humphreys-Mills marriages are recored. dl
