General Notes: Husband - Thomas Humphrey


He settled in Muddy Creek township, Butler County, PA, in 1798. Previously to locating there, however, he made his home in Greensburg, or near that place, in Westmoreland County, for several years, remaining among friends who emigrated to America from the North of Ireland. While in Greensburg, he met and married his wife.

He was a native of County Tyrone, Ireland, who came to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, after the Revolution, settled in what is now Worth township, Butler county, in 1798, where he owned 200 acres of land, two cows and one horse, in 1803. He purchased a tract of land from a jobber named Irwin, adjoining the James McNees claim, which McNees was holding for Irwin, and cleared a large area.

He came to the United States from Wales, and first took up his residence in Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He and his wife later made the trip on horseback to Butler County, and were among the very earliest settlers of Worth Township, arriving some time during the year 1798. He acquired and largely cleared a tract of 400 acres of land, on which he lived until his death.
