From Pam Amari: Bahmer in his "History of Coshocton County" in an article about Z. T. Humphrey (Zachery Taylor) born November 10, 1846, son of William and Elizabeth (McMahon) Humphrey says, "William Junior was born near Providence, Rhode Island and was a sailor on the ocean between Narragansett Bay and the West Indies for 12 years. After leaving the sea, he came to Coshocton County and engaged in farming until his death, January 28, 1865."
From Pam Amari, words by Delight Trent: "The History of Coshocton County, Ohio by Hill 1861 Tiverton Township, page 595 says: (Isaac Draper, first settler) The next settler of whom anything is known was William Humphrey who came to this township about 1812 from the vicinity of Fall River, Massachusetts. He was a brother of Squire Humphrey a prominent pioneer of New Castle Township and owned lots 19, 20 and 29 of section 3. He, William, brought his family and goods through the wilderness on a litter, made by strapping poles between two horses, placed one in front of the other. The cabin which he hastily put together for the shelter of his family and goods was without door, floor or chimney and often at night wildcats and coons would clamber over the roof and make night hideous with their squalling and screeching."
