Henry Humiston (1626 - 1663)

Henry Humiston was the son of William Humiston (1580 - ). He was born in England in 1626. He came to New Haven after 1639 as he and his father were not signers of the original covenant. He began as a servant of Capt. Nat. Turner (Hartley, 1959) and eventually obtained a farm in what is now Hampden. Henry first appears in the New Haven Court records in 1644 at age 18. In 1648 he was fined by the court 2 shillings, 6 pence for want of a sword & a wrest. These fines related to military preparedness were common. He married Joan Walker in Aug. 28, 1651 in New Haven.

Henry was admitted as a freeman in New Haven in April 4, 1654. Joan was born in 1630 and died 1692 in New Haven. Henry died Jan. 16, 1663 in New Haven and was buried in the New Haven Green. His estate was valued at 98 pds. 13 shillings and 7 pence by David Atwater and Thomas Barnes on Feb. 29, 1663. The court records of May 3, 1664 state that the amount of the estate was “attested under oath by his widow to contain the whole estate of her late husband to the best of her knowledge; & David Atwater and Thomas Barnes that the appointment was just to best of their light.” Joan then married Richard Little on Dec. 15, 1664 and they had five children: Elizabeth (1666-1735), Martha (Mar. 29, 1667-), Hannah (Oct. 21, 1667-1669), Mary (1669-), Hannah (1671-1728). Henry Humiston and Joan had six children, all born in New Haven:

I have been looking for @13yrs on all the Humistons, Hummaston, humison, Humbertson, Humberston, Umberson, Humberson, Humphries, Humphress, Humphrey, etc.

Here is how you got your Henry Humiston. I have, somewhere, that William Humberston & wife got off a ship but I can't remember the name of the ship and the ship hands had spelled their son, Henry, name incorrectly as Humiston. Check it out and I think you will find out definitely.

I printed it out, but have 3 boxes of sheets of geneology but haven't found it as yet.

William Humberston
• Born: Abt 1580, England
• Married Abt 1615 to Julyan Boteler

Children with:
Julyan Boteler

Children:
Henry Humiston

I got a lot of info off the web pages of the old computers, which they don't have them on now or you have to pay. They sure have changed ways things work.

Henry Humiston came ashore in 1636 on the Angel Gabriel but I have to check this out. William was shown as Humberston and son, Henry was shown to be a Humiston. Someone couldn't spell or hear right.

Joyce - Thanks for your input. Please feel free to add more. Bill

[William Joesph (Stielow) Jamison]

Wow, thanks for the validations here. The last couple of weeks have really opened my eyes. Based upon figuring out that my father, Daniel Leroy Jamison, born 1927, and died in the late 80's in Vancouver, WA and adopted within a month after birth by William Brook and Lily Gail Jamison Vancouver, WA) from Nathaniel Redfield and Lillian Louise (Humiston) Herrick, who came out from Nebraska to adopt out my illegitimate father, real parents were Lillian (of course) and Kenneth Edward Stielow, who died in Hoguiam, WA in 1961. From that I traced Lillian's patriarchal lineage as: Clyde Leviticus Humiston (1873-1930, John Humiston (1839-1907), Jared Laurens Humiston (1810-1896), Caleb Humiston (1781-1857), Ephraim Humiston (1730-1806}, John Humiston (1685-1786), John Humiston (1660-1695), Henry Humiston (1620-1663}, William Humberston (1581-1654), Edward Humbertson(1536-1583) and John Humberston (1501-1568). Dad's -> Kenneth Edward Stielow (1902, Arnprior, Ont, Can - 1961, Hoquiam, Wa), August Johann Stielow (1852, Szczecinek, Poland (Drummerfitz, Pomerania} - 1940, Hoquiam) and last Edward Stielow (1824, Pom - Arnprior). Grandma, Lillian died in Vancouver in 1985 and I was born there in 1950. I never got to meet her even though she was just around the corner. Guess that's what we get when pops can't keep it in there...
Anybody care to sort this out and possibly reinforce I would surely appreciate it. Working on my wife's side now, it gets even more far out, but that's another story...
Bill :)

my copy of the Ghormley family history has disappeared -- was by Pearl Ghormley and something like the first 1,000 years of the Ghormley family

Would like to get another excerpt that believe came from the book Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
