Paul,
Thanks so much for the info. I wasn't aware that Frances Sarratt was a widow, makes a difference. So, if I've got this right, you're looking for Henry J. Sarratt (b 1877) related info - anything in particular? You see, my great grandmother, Margaret Elizabeth Sarratt (b 1874) that married William Joseph Humphries was also from Grassy Pond near Sarratt's creek.
I'm going back home to Gaffney, SC, next week with the intention of visiting the gravesites of the Humphries' and Sarratts'. I hope my mother can still find them as it has been a few years since she visited the sites - wish me luck. Anything I can check out for you just let me know.
I called my mom last night to recheck her records and she read me that over the phone, but I'll double check when I get there because I'm not sure which kids belong to who anymore.

Paul,
Sorry it's taken so long to get back but the computer shorted and all programs dumped. I have a ton of info for you but I'm not sure of how much you want.
First of all the parents of Margaret Elizabeth Sarratt, (b May 11, 1874 - d Dec 26, 1945) are Samuel Quin Sarratt (b Dec 11, 1851 - d Jul 7, 1909) and Mary Hope Parker ( b Nov 28, 1842 Union SC - d Jul 12, 1907).
Parents of Samuel Quin Sarratt are Green Berry Sarratt (b Feb 4, 1828 - d Jan 8, 1899) and Elizabeth Caroline Vinesette (or Vincet) (b Jan 5, 1831 - d Jan 14, 1893). Parents of Green Berry Sarratt are Samuel Sarratt (unk) and Margaret "Peggy" Quinn (Peggy's father was Peter Quinn b unk d 1824).
Parents of Samuel Sarratt are John Sarratt and Nannie Morgan.
NOTE: Children of Thompson Humphries and Nancy Minera Bryant
1. Euphry A (b Mar 24, 1862)
2. Elizabeth "Lizzie" (b Feb 22, 1864) married Milton "Manon" Sarratt (b Apr 04, 1859)
3. Beatrice (b Dec 24, 1865 - d 1887)
4. Edwin E (b Dec 27, 1867 - d 1899)
5. Macie M (b Feb 14, 1869 -d Dec 6, 1936)
6. Wade Hill (b Jun 05, 1872 - d Jun 16, 1938) marr M. Beatrice Sarratt (b Jan 18, 1882)

8. Altie (b Mar 11, 1877)
9. Ellie (b Oct 01, 1880)
NOTE: 3 Humphries's married 3 Sarratt's.
I have a hand written listing (3 pages) of all Humphries and Sarratts that are buried in Providence Baptist Church in Gaffney SC. Includes:
James E and Elizabeth Sarratt,
Samuel Q and Mary Hope,
James M and Julia A and children, etc.
Are you interested in that listing?
I also have a narrative on the Humphries family written by
J C Coleman Humphries in 1932 that tells about William, John, William III and John III Humphries
(including where they're buried) if you're interested in that.
I noted an Alpha listing of all the Sarratts that you printed out for one of my aunt's friends (Lipscomb) in 1991. Looks like you're the expert on the Sarratt clan so you may have all this info already but just in case...
BTW: There's a gravesite for the SERVICE family down the road from my dad's, it's enclosed in a nice wrought iron fence on the Ruppe property. As far as Mr. Ruppe knows, no ones ever visited...in case you ever run across an inquiry on that family.

Thanks Beth,
We have made the corrections/additions to this HUMPHRIES/SARRATT Connection. See: HUMPHRIES Family Index Profile!
We would be interested in any of the "narratives" you may have and again we will create a Web Page for them. ...prs

Hi,
I appreciate all the material you have entered on the Rutherford Co, NCGenWeb site. My wife's maiden name is Humphries and we can trace back to William Humphries of Rutherford Co, and then Cleveland Co., NC. He was born abt 1750 and migrated from Virginia to NC. He married (1) ? , (2) Francis Sarratt in 1788 in Spartanburg District, South Carolina. Died May 30, 1827 and fought in the Revolutionary War. I have a good bit of info from her relatives about the family on down but I do not know who his parents or siblings. If you can help I would appreciate any info you have and also what county they may have come from in Virginia. If you are from this line I will be glad to share any info I may have. Thanks in advance. I forgot one thing. The family apparently attended Camps Creek Baptist Church and several are buried at that Church cemetery.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for all the information you sent me. It will take me alittle time to digest all of this.
I'm sending you an attachment on William Humphries and his oldest son John. It looks like your list branches off to John's son Thompson and my info goes from his son William. I'm not a computer wiz so this may not work but I'm attempting to send you two attachments and I may have to email you twice. I have more information on John's son William and his son John and so forth but its not computerized so I will have to type it up first. I'm going to try to send the attachments so here goes.

Hi Paul,
I figured out how to change my Family Origins file to a TXT file so I'm sending you more info on William Humphries down to my wife Mary Diane Humphries. I havn't done much research on the Humphries side yet but I'll check my file and see if I have anything on the Surratt family line. Most of the info came from J.C. Coleman Humphries from data he gathered in 1932. I also have a copy of a letter he wrote to a relative in Mississippi that I'll send you that has some info you might be interested in. I'll close for now.

Paul,
I am researching the William Humphires(Humphreys) family of Cleveland (Rutherford) Co., NC and Spartanburg Co., SC. I believe you are searching the same family. I would be very interested in whatever census, burial, etc. records you might have already collected. I have some information that was passed on to me that I will be more than willing to share.
According to what I have,
William Humphries was born c 1750 and d 5-30-1827 in Cleveland Co., NC (Rutherford Co). He had the following children by 2 different wives:
John, William, Samuel, Jesse, David, margaret, Francis, Sussanah, Anderson, and Jane.

pardon my intrusion, but my ggrandfather was Thompson Humphries and you have his father as John Humphries (1768), son of William (1750).
In an affidavit this John gave at the pension hearing in behalf of his step-mother, Francis Surratt, widow of William Humphries and his father, he does not mention a second marriage, i.e. Mary Clary.
Could Thompson Humphries have been the son of John's (1768) son, John (1799)? or could he have just not mentioned his second marriage?
Appreciate your thoughts on this matter, thanks for your trouble.

We may be cousins and I commend you for all your information about the Humphries. My grandmother was Margaret Surratt Humphries, wife of William Joseph Humphries, [FG 671 (REF: #4 BTW) just to indicate how I fit into the Humphries/Surratt families.
Have question about the information found in "World Connect"/ Rootsweb. Do you have published somewhere the references given in your writeups? For example: REF:#690.001 etc. I would like to have them if I could. I know you must be swamped with email, but if you could answer, it would be muchly appreciated.

I'm researching the Pritchards of the Rutherford/ Cleveland/ Gaffney triangle. And while I've gathered a great deal of info, some of it is conflicting.
I wonder if you'd mind answering a couple of questions which would put me on the right path?
Margaret Humphries Pritchard, daughter of Willam Humphries Sr (revolutionary William) appears to have been our ancestor.
Was she Frances Sarratt's daughter, as Berry Jones swore in 1854, or Marianne Walker's daughter, born in 1778 in Va, as I keep seeing posted in various online family trees? And if Frances Sarratt's, when was she born?
The Margaret Pritchard, b. c1818 in the 1850 Cleveland Co census was only 32 - is that too young to be the one in Berry Jones' affadavit? Thanks for any light you can shed on this.
Cordially, Anne Pritchard, E-Mail: [email protected]

William Humphries Family
Date: Nov 24, 2002 10:28:02 AM Pacific Standard Time
Dear Paul, I recently discovered your work re: Sarratt family online. Wm. Humphries is related to me. It's rather confusing because my materal grt grandmother, Bonnie Eudora Clarinda Humphries (descendant of John Humphries, 1st son of old Wm. Humphries I). Her husband was George Felder Humphries who was a descendant of Samuel Humphries, 3rd son of old William H.
I was wondering what documentation you have to show that old William was from England? I have searched for a number of years in the passenger lists, but came up with nothing. I also have a note in my records that he came from Yorkshire, England in the year 1763, which would have made him approx. 13 years old at the time.
My guess is that his father was named "John," since he named his 1st son John. However, I went to the records of King George Co., VA . I found a John & Anderson Humphries (spelled same) who were tithed in the year 1803. My question is: Is this family he left behind after coming to NC?
Any info you have would be greatly appreciated.
I have been trying to unravel this mystery for a number of years. It was also more difficult, since I have two Humphries' lines in my family tree.
Thanks, Elaine Myers, ([email protected])
