Humphrey was a major in the state militia and sheriff of King and Queen Co. He was regularly elected to the General Assembly for 9 sessions, and was a planter and gentleman who moved easily in society. His lineage was from Tidewater society that had intermarried for generations. He owned a carriage and entertained frequently. It was not unusual for there to be 18 people for dinner with seven dishes of meat, four vegetables, pickles, a fine pudding, pie, tarts, cheese, wine and cider.

p. 15-16

Frances Temple was his first cousin.

Humphrey also inherited Locust Grove, building the present house, after the second house burned down around 1816. The new house had fewer, but larger rooms, allowing the river breezes on both sides of the structure. An alley of locust trees framed the entrance.

In 1820 he owned 745 acres, only 19 more landowners in King and Queen had more than he did, and only ten claimed more a thousand acres. On a tax list of 1800 Humphrey owned 6 horses, 4 wheeled vehicles, 18 adult and 6 teen-aged slaves.

Humphrey married Frances (Fannie) TEMPLE. Frances (daughter of Joseph TEMPLE, II and Mary (Mollie) HILL) was born 13 Jan 1765, Chatham Hill, King and Queen Co. VA; died 09 Feb 1824, Rye Field (Locust Grove) King and Queen Co. VA. [Group Sheet]

Baylor was the scion of a closely related, complicated, and ingrown family with members being Walkers, Temples, Fleets, Hills, Baylors, and Semples.

Life described by an English visitor in 1732 likened the plantations and gentry as similar to the Thames from London to Richmond with manor houses and pleasant gardens. He also noted the Stratton Major Parish of the Church of England as having extreme class differentiation where the most noble families sat in the front of the church, and the lesser gentry behind them.

Baylor married Frances HILL 25 May 1759, King and Queen Co. VA. Frances (daughter of Colonel Humphrey HILL and Frances BAYLOR) was born 25 May 1759, Hillsborough, King and Queen Co. VA; died 1795, Rye Field (Locust Grove), King and Queen Co. VA. [Group Sheet]
