I would like to get these Humphreys seperated, and am posting what I have collected on the name, Humphrey Younger. Please advise if I have them confused, as they do not state which Humphrey is which in all cases. Were any branches of the Youngers Quakers? Also tell me if a posting can get too long. Thankyou. 1.
