Samuel and Sarah (Griffin) Humphreys actually had 16 children (2 died as babies, one in Illinois and one in Montgomery County). The kids are (in case anyone else is interested, I'm researching all 16 of them): Emma 1876-1879 Jonathan B. 1877-1968 Fredrick 1879-1964 Ross Township 1880-1961 James 1882-1950 Lee 1883-1967 Wilbur 1885-1977 Alford 1887-1945 Francis Merrian "Frank" 1888-1973 Asa 1891-1970 Grover Cleveland 1892-1969 Charles "Charley" 1894-1974 Mary M. 1896-1897 Zella 1898-1969 Carl 1902-1980 Caroline 1906-1974 Fred was my gg-grandfather. Samuel and Sarah had their first grandchild on July 18, 1896. By the time their last daughter Caroline was born in 1906 Samuel and Sarah already had 5 grandchildren, the oldest (who died as a baby) was 10 years older than his youngest aunt! > Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2008 12:51:37 -0500 > From: "Karen Zach" > <karen.zach@sbcglobal.net> > Subject: Re: [InMontgo] Alford Humphreys > To: <gostraka@yahoo.com>, > <inmontgo@rootsweb.com> > > Hey, thanks Lena - that one helped me determine the last of > their children > :) > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Lena C." <gostraka@yahoo.com> > To: "Mont.
