Here is my orginal posting from 2002:

Dr. James Humphreys is becoming my brick wall-I am hoping someone out there can give me a clue as to his ascendancy or siblings.

Here's what I have found since 2002 - not as much as I would like:

m. 1st wife Sarah Willcox (dau of Woodson Willcox)
issue 1 son: William Willcox Humphreys
m 2nd wife Rebecca Daniel (dau of John M Daniel and Elizabeth Mitchell Dodge Co, GA)
Issue:
Martha m James Fletcher
Mollie C m Hiram J. Sapp
Maggie m Luke Sapp
Eliza m James Y. Willcox
James D. m Orlie Harrell
Nannie Rebecca m. Stephen Daniel Bowen

He died in Dodge Co, GA possibly Eastman, or Hawkinsville on 01/14/1870

History of Dodge Co. by Mrs. Wilton Philip Cobb Pg 226

Dr. James Humphreys served as a surgeon is the CSA, Co K 49th Georgia Volunteer Regiment when the regiment was sent to Virginia, atthe battle of Manassas, Battle of Fredicksbrug, Battle of Chancelorsville, Battle of Seven Pines and in PA at the Battle of Gettysburg. This according to the UDC papers for Susie and Nancy Bowen proofed on 06/19/1920 and 05/29/1920

I am still trying to track this family. Here is what I have found so far:
