Sgt. Humphrey Johnson came from England with his father, mother and four other children. "He was a capable man in town affairs, and often employed in the public business. He had an uncommon inclination to law suite and few men have left on the records of the court so many evidences of litigeous disposition. He settled in Scituate, MA and later was of Hingham where he was an innkeeper. He was a member of his brother's company in the Narragansett Expedition. He was an original donor of the Free School."
It is not clear whether Sgt. Humphrey married the daughter or the widow of Samuel May. Samuel May had a wife Abigail Stanfield and a daughter Abigail. Since he had died 7-17-1677, Sgt. Johnson could have married his widow or his daughter---she is recorded only as Abigail May. It is more likely to be the daughter, as the old records so often indicated "Widow" and this one does not. At any rate, this wife would have had Stanfield blood.
Mehitable, eldest daughter of Humphrey by his first wife, had both her husbands and three sons killed by Indians. Her first hisband was in the fields with three of their sons when the Indians slew them. Later she was married and her second husband was also killed by savages.
