General Notes: Husband - Robert Humphrey

---

He was a soldier in the war of the Revolution, and founder of the town of West Alexander, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Mr. Humphrey took part in the battle of Brandywine, and when Gen. LaFayette fell from his horse wounded, he was one of the men who carried him from the field. In 1825, when LaFayette revisited America, he passed through West Alexander and stopped at the Lawson House (now the LaFayette Inn) and there he and Robert Humphrey met and talked over the incidents which took place at Brandywine, nearly 50 years before.
