Humes Family Archives
& Records Virginia Records
John Humes, Jr. husband
of (1) Elizabeth Carlin, can be found
living in Richmond, Virginia, Henrico and
Smyth Counties, Virginia between 1815 and 1835 --the years he was married to (2) Margaret Purse. There were many Humes in Virginia living in Greene, Rockbridge, Henrico, Ohio, Nicholas, Augusta, Rockingham and Orange Counties, and it is hard to identify individuals and families. Below is a selected list of Humes. Virginia Census

One of them might be Thomas Humes --born ca 1770-- the son of John Humes Sr. and brother of John Jr. He was the father of the Mary Humes (born in 1810) who married Joseph Caruthers.

I believe this is
John Humes, Jr. In 1830 he was married to Margaret Purse.
Note the Index #s for him and Harvie. They are living very near each other, but I have no records of a Harvey Humes. Can you help? When Smyth County, Va. was formed in 1832, William Humes, his father John Humes, Jr. and their families were already living in the area. 1850

Rockbridge County VA 034 Lexington The Humes listed from the 1850 and 1860 Census are not necessarily from my family of Humes, but are included here because of their proximity to known family locations. Missouri Census, 1840 -70 On January
10,1840, John Humes, Jr.and his son
William are in Missouri, where they received
a patent for 95.4 acres of land in Miller County, which they purchased jointly from the US land office in Fayette, MO. (see below) It's interesting to note that the Humes children all gave Virginia as their place of birth, but in most census records, many are reported as born in Missouri.

The families below include the widow, Eliza Humes, and her unmarried children, as well as her son Joseph and his family in a neighboring household, possibly on the same property near Gravois Mills.

for details regarding the following sample of patents in Missouri. If you have trouble with the link. enter "Bureau of Land Management records" in your search program. The only Hume (without the "s" ) in the records of land
patents in MO. that I can positively
identify as part of this family is Eliza Stuart Gilmore, William's widow. While others in the family seem to use either Hume or Humes, Eliza is consistantly a Hume. Because she was literate, it was apparently her choice, rather than a mis-spelling by clerks. HUME, ELIZA S
