That she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service; he died 25 Nov 1780? A certified copy of the marriage record is filed by the clerk of Bedfdord Co VA shows John HUMPHREYS and Margaret MURPHY were married 22 Nov 1784, and the name of the bondsman was William WOODY.

Margaret HUMPHREY died 12 Jan 1847 and a Mr. HILL said he had always drawn her pension for her, he being a relative. "I am now anxious to draw the amount that is due her from March 1846 to the time of her death to be appropriated to the use of her 3 children now being educated at the Deaf and Dumb Assylum in Staunton, VA." Note: No marriage record found in Barren Co so I believe they were married in Bedford Co VA - KY wasn't a state in 1784 - and there is no record in 1825 here.
