The timing of his life is unclear. Two sources disagree as to whether he was in Baltimore in the 1770s:

  • Humphrey is listed in "Proceedings and Acts of the General Assembly, 1766-1768"[8]
  • "Humphrey moved to Huntingdon Co., around 1761-75.[9]"
  • Humphrey was appointed as an offer of the militia in Baltimore County (2nd lieutenant) in 1777[10]

By the 1780s, multiple sources agree that Humphrey was in Pennsylvania:

  • Humphrey owns 2 horses, 2 cattle and 180 acres of taxable land in 1788 (Note: Joshua and John Chilcot are listed in this reference as well)[11]
  • Humphrey is counted in the 1790 Huntingdon, PA census (as "Humphry Chilcot")[12]
  • Humphrey and John (son?) are listed as having been granted 400 acres of Huntindon County land on Jan. 19, 1793.[13]
