NOTE:: His beautiful headstone says he was "born Pulaski County, MO." BUT he married Frances a Logan in "Event Date: 12 Dec 1853 --Event Place: Pulaski,Kentucky

AND the census record says KY...ALL their children were born in Kentucky.

Does not look like they moved to Missouri until after 1857 and before 1860.

This very well could be Humphrey's father and married to a stepmom..and their new family. And James A. age 18-19 when he joined his older brothers in the 27th Missouri.

Marriages

(So if Humphrey was born in Kentucky one of the 2 marriages I found in Pulaski County Kentucky could be his wife, "Widowed")

1) to Catherine Buster was 12 Feb 1839 so this Humphrey would only have been 8 years old.. however,

2) to Frances A. Logan 12 Dec. 1853

Citing this Record

This is all I can find, it would be nice to link him to his family, since they mentioned that he was the "Father to the Colorado McQueary's"
