Jacob Humble filed numberous claims for land grants in Montgomery County beginning with 20 November 1787, the last one being filed on 4 October 1796. It is certain, therefore, that he was living on 4 October 1796 and he may have been living on 7 June 1799 when a land grant which he entered on 1 March 1794 was issued. He apparently was deceased when the 1800 census was taken at which time a widow Mary Humble is shown with one other female 16-26. This Mary Humble, widow, is probably the one found in Mississippi in the 1810 census, she having gone along with her children from Montgomery County, North Carolina, to Amite County, Mississippi, between 1800 and 1810. Ms. Faye Johnston has since told me that she meant the foregoing to be construed as speculation, and that she had no evidence that it was true.
Intuitive evidence seems to mitigate against the relationship.
