I don’t think we found the Humphries children the first time around because we were only working with Sula Meadows Newton’s name. The Humphries buried at Bethany Baptist Church are the family of the kids you’re looking for.
(I wasn’t able to find “Louetta”. I’ll take another look for her.
“J. A.” Humphries is James.
Carolina Virginia Humphries, nee TATOM.
James A. Humphries marr’d Caroline V. Tatom
on 18 July 1866 in Person Co., NC. Bondsman: John W. Hunt.
In 1870, they lived in Oak Hill Twp, Granville Co., NC.
1880 Person Co NC Census – ED203 Mt. Tirzah – p.151B, 3 June, at 48, 48:
Humphries, James; farmer; m, W, 37, NC, NC, NC
(ditto), Caroline; wife; f, W, NC, NC, NC.
(ditto), William; son, 12, NC
(ditto), Louis; son, 9, NC (“Lewis” on 1870 census)
(ditto), Charles; son, 7, NC
(ditto), Emma; dau, 5, NC
(ditto), JAMES; son, 2, NC****(“J.L.H.”)
I think James A. is the son of William Humphries (b.abt 1812 NC) and Parthenia, (b.abt. 1813 NC)(or her name is Ethaline B. Ford who marr’d William Westemor….. (Westmoreland?) Humphries in Person Co on 23 Jan 1834.)
William & Parthenia’s children on the 1850 census:
Smith C., b.abt. 1838.
JAMES, b.abt. 1840.**** (“J.A.H.”)
Elizabeth, b.abt.1841.
William T., b.abt. 1846.
Richard H., b.abt. 1848.
Edward Dixon, 18, worked as a farm hand here in 1850 and there are a lot of Dixon’s around and several Humphries/Dixon marriages prior to 1850 in Person Co.

(ditto), John T.; son; Nov 1880, 19, NC.
(ditto), Rosa B.; dau; Nov 1884, 15, NC.
Did not find them or James Luther (“J.L.H”) in 1910. I may have to go thru Mt Tirzah page by page to find them.
1920 Person Co NC Census – ED191 Mt Tirzah Twp, 22 Jan., p.9A, at 141, 142:
Humphries, LUTHER; farmer; m, W, 42, W’d, NC, NC, NC. (“J.L.H.”)

(ditto), Canelius (Cornelius?); son, 12, NC.
(ditto), WILMA; dau, 8, NC.****
(ditto), Farris; son, 4 +1/12, NC
James Luther Humphries’s brother Charles lived at 124, 125:
Humphries, Charles; farmer; 47, NC
(ditto), Effie; wife, 34, NC.
(ditto), Walter; son, 16, NC
(ditto), Elvin; son, 5, NC
(ditto), Ephubus (?); son, 3, NC.
(ditto), Ruby M.; dau, 2, NC
(ditto), Roger D.; son, 1, NC.
I haven’t found Canelius/Cornelius or Wilma in 1930 (!).
In 1930, Allen (“Allie”?), 28, (marr’d at 21) was a Machinist in a Motor Co., living on Durham Road in the town of Roxboro, Person Co., with wife Annie, 29 (marr’d at 22); dau’s Alene, 6; Alice, 2 +9/12; son J. A. Jr., 11 months (also James A.?) and Allie’s brother Farris, 16, lived with them.
Earl (Earlie) Humphries, 24, engaged in Highway road construction, boarded at Mason Crews’s house 7 doors away from Allen.
Bill (Willie) Humphries, 27, truck driver for Coca Cola Co., with wife Lillian, 20 & marr’d 2 yrs, and son W.B. Jr., 1 + 9/12; lived 27 houses before where Earl boarded.
Bill Humphries’s family lived between Jack Satterfield, 22; and Ed Satterfield, 42, more of your relatives?
………….
Bill
Bill asks >>>>> Bill Humphries’s family lived between Jack Satterfield, 22; and Ed Satterfield, 42, more of your relatives?
………….
LOL………. imagine so……. have to ask my mom for exact relationship……… also Mason Crews is my uncle…….
At the Surl Prim Bapt church, stopped with my mom and we found my ggg grandparents
*Robert L. Satterfield b. 11-17-1848 d. 4-16-1930
*Bettie Moore, wife of RLS b. 1-31-1852 d. 11-21-1929
and Bettie Moore’s parents
*David R. Moore b. 3-20-1821 “He was ordained to the work of the ministry Nov. 1860 d. 4-22-1900
*Jane L., wife of DRM b. 8-11-1823 d. 10-12-1897
David donated the land for Surl ch and was it’s first Elder…. still don’t know if he is descended from Steven Moore just a couple of miles up the road or Abraham Moore who was active with Flat River Prim Baptist…….
There was no Louetta J. as a Humphries in 1870 or 1880 indexes so Humphries is likely her married name. I didn’t find her indexed in 1900 or 1910 either, anywhere in NC. If you run across any additional info on her or come up with an idea, let me know and I’ll take another shot at finding her.

Brenda, you recall we had pretty much confirmed that the land which Thomas Collins and his group owned in Flatt River was the same land that my Daniel Meadows owned and that I still occupy. Found this on a website about the Meadows family.
In Orange County, North Carolina, 5 October 1768, James Meadows of Granville County, sold to Joseph Read of Bute County, North Carolina, 350 acres on Camp Creek, part of a larger tract granted to Thomas Collins, Collins to Thomas Glass, Glass to Daniel Meadows. This deed was witnessed by H. Pendleton and Thomas Person
So, at least this part of the holding went Collins/Glass/Meadows before 1768….. just need to find the Collins/Glass document and the Glass/Meadows document.
From the same website is a clue to the missing link in my Meadows line.
Isham Meadows was included in the 1790 census in Warren County, North Carolina. His household consisted of three white males over 16, seven white males under 16, two white females, and no other persons or slaves. The three males over 16 (born before 1774) were Isham Meadows and his sons, John and James Meadows. Three of the seven males under 16 (born after 1774) were Isham’s sons, William, Daniel, and Edward Meadows.
In 1798, Isham Meadows moved from Warren County, North Carolina, to Stephens Creek in Wilkes County, Georgia, with his sons John, James, William, Daniel, and Edward Meadows. Isham’s son, Isham Meadows, had moved from Warren County, North Carolina, to Wilkes County, Georgia, in 1790 with the William Acree family.
4 males born after 1774 are unnamed. Possibly they could be Ransom, Benjamin, George, Squire? as these are names missing from this generation that are present in gens before and after in NC and Ga. lines. Just need one more clue…… ain’t that what we are all looking for? 😉
Dreaminghawk,
I wonder if these Humphries connect…

I am truly confused by now..have been computing too long today. Sue J
Hey I was reading this old post. My GGG grandparent’s were Richard and Harriet Sneed. In the 1870 census of Person County they are listed right below Richard Coteran and Cornelia Clements that is shown below on the marriage list.
Bill Childs;4675 wrote: I think it’s Tindall too. On the 1830 census, Daniel Meadows is 50 to 59, and his wife is 40 to 49, making her born abt 1780s. Her age is consistent on the 1850 and 1860 census as born abt 1788, so an 1805 marriage date seems more likely than 1787 🙂
Even so, the earlier marriage shouldn’t be tossed, might be the father of the younger guy.

Becky and I have surveyed the Samuel Clements cemetery and found several cemeteries with Sneeds in them. Will have to check to see if we have a listing for Richard but can show you within several tenths of a mile where they lived on the south fork of the Flatt River.
Wow thank you so much! I hope to travel down to Person to see it maybe the first of the year. Question how far is this place from Little River Township in the old Orange County now called Durham or Rougemont? I am trying to piece how my grandparents met. I know they owned that property but I hve no idea what happened or where they are burried. I do know Harriet was burried at a “family buring ground” in Rougemont. On her death certificate it says Orange County, but that was after Durham was already formed.
Sorry to take so long… its a hectic time of year. All our cemetery surveys are posted at
http://ncperson.org/cemetery_index.htm. The GPS for the Sneede cemetery is
36 15 33.8N 078 56 53.8W It is indexed at the above site as Andrews,Blalock, Sneede, Timberlake. The Clements cemetery is located at 36 16 19.0N 078 55 26.7W. It is indexed as Chambers, Clayton, Clement. If you plug the gps into your favorite mapping site (google earth, mapquest, topozone, etc) and zoom in and out you should get a good feel for where they are. Rougemont is a couple of miles south.
Thank you so much. Do you think the Sneeds were native? Also are you realted to Cornelia and Nancy Clement that lived near my Sneeds?
I think just about all of these families who located on the Flatt River in the mid 1700s were Va mixed bloods. They were drawn to the area partly because the large river holdings of Osborne Jeffries made the area very “mixed blood friendly”.
Susan Clements, daughter of Samuel and Nancy Cozart Clements, married Groves Meadows. They were married at the Clements homeplace.
Do you know Richard’s parents? What was Richard’s birth year?
I have no idea who Richard’s parents were. I know who is wife’s were but not Richard’s. He was born around the 1830’s.
So Richard’s parents could be Thomas b 1801 and Nancy Sneed(e)…… the info that I can find on their children is very sketchy. What is Harriet’s maiden name? or who are her parents? Maybe we can locate her family burying ground in current Orange co, which is also just a couple of miles away from these homeplaces that we are talking about. Merry Christmas, by the way 😉
