  • Notes 
    • BIOGRAPHY: Humphrey was named executor in the will of his uncle, Edmund. It is believed he returned to England to settle the estate, probably before Aug 1633, when he received a grant of 4 acres at Dorchester, MA. Edmund Pinney left a considerable estate and named Humphrey as his chief beneficiary, calling him "son", which has led to some confusion about his actual relationship. Humphrey was made freeman 14 May 1634 and on 4 Jan 1635 he was granted 20 acres of land between Dorchester & Roxbury. He later received 10 acres of meadow land beyond Neponset River. He was an original settler at Windsor, his early residence being on the west side of the Main street, about 1 mile north of the present Congretional Church. In 1675, Humphrey, along with Thomas Ford, George Hull, and Thomas Lewis, purchased land from the indians for the inhabitants of Windsor.
