      Judith, John Humphrey was the beginning of the Humphrey population of White County Tennessee. John was born on May 4th 1778 in North Carolina {probably Pasquotank County} and died on August 5th 1864 in White County Tennessee.

      Abigail Eastwood was born on December 14th 1774 in North Carolina {Hyde County we believe} and died on September 11th 1852 in White County. She was the daughter of Israel and Elizabeth Eastwood of Hyde County North Carolina.

      John was the neighbor of the Eastwood family in 1800 in Hyde County. They were married on June 10, 1804 in Hyde County we believe but as yet we have not found a "legal" marriage license.

      Both are buried in the Old shady Grove Cemetery in White County.

      This info came fron HER bible record that is owned by the Humphrey family in White County.

      There is no doubt that John's mother was named Sarah/Sally.
      The question is what was her last name. The Walling information came from "notes" attached to the bible record from another family (the Roberts fammily I believe?) from White County.

      I have found NO PROOF that her name was Walling except for these notes written in the 1980s.

      There is a community in White County named Walling as you probably know but John's Mother and Father as far as we know did not make the migration to white County. In fact we believe that his father David died before John was 15 years of age and that Sarah (his mother) died in 1791 in Hyde County and John was "taken in" or "hired on " by the Eastwood family befor he married Abigail in 1804.

      As some of the records (in the notes I have) were wrong on the Roberts family then the note that her last name was Walling may also be in error. I am still searching the archives.

      Terry
