26. Edward6 Humston, born in 1796 ( Thomas5, Edward4, Edward3, Edward2, Edward1 ).

Edward Humston, the oldest child of Thomas and Lucy (Morehead) Humston, was born in Fauquier County, Virginia, about 1796, going to Shenandoah County with his parents about 1813. He was a farmer and lived near Edinburg until 1852. Then, with his father, he moved to Henry County, Kentucky. He never married.

Edward is mentioned as one of the beneficiaries in his grandfather’s will. He died April 30 1855, and is buried in the family graveyard on the home farm near Port Royal, Ky.

34. Nathaniel Albert6 Humston, born in 1811 ( Thomas5, Edward4, Edward3, Edward2, Edward1 ), married at Zanesville, Ohio, July 11, 1833, Margaret Jane Fanning, daughter of Jonathan and Catherine (Laughler) Fanning, who was born at Hopewell, Ontario County, N.Y., June 11, 1812. She died at Pleasureville, Henry County, Ky., Feb. 7, 1896, and is buried at Port Royal, Ky. Funeral services were held the following June at Cane Run Church.

Jonathan Fanning was the sixth (Asher5, Jonathan4, Jonathan3, Jonathan2, Edmund1) in descent from the immigrant ancestor, who came from Ireland after the Cromwellian confiscations and settled at Groton, Conn., in 1652. An excellent genealogy of the Fanning family has been published. (Brooks, Walter F., “History of the Fanning Family.”)

Nathaniel Albert Humston, son of Thomas and Lucy Morehead) Humston, was born probably in Fauquier County, Virginia, Nov. 26, 1811, a few years prior to his parents’ removal to Shenandoah, and lived in the latter county until about 1832, when he went to Zanesville, Ohio. After three years he returned to Virginia, but in 1843 again moved westward to Clark County, Kentucky. He remained there about five years and then, in 1848, moved to Port Royal, Henry County.

He later bought a farm about three miles west of that place on Emilys Run Creek, where he lived about twenty years. After living at Turners Station about seven years, he bought a farm about 1877 two miles west of Port Royal, on which he lived the remainder of his life.

Nathaniel was a tailor and worked at his trade many years. He commenced to preach in 1848 and was ordained a minister of the gospel in July, 1854. He was pastor of the Cane Run and Sulphur Fork Churches for over thirty years until his death Jan. 25, 1890. He is buried at Port Royal.

Nathaniel Humston was a truly religious man, never seeking financial gain. He united with the Primitive (Hard Shell) Baptist Church at Union Forge, Va., and was baptized by Elder Ambrose C. Booton.

Before leaving Virginia, Nathaniel purchased from George Grandstaff Sept. 26, 1837, a small lot of land on Stony Creek, containing forty-nine square poles, the price being $130. (Shenandoah Deed Book “QQ”, p. 514) Nathaniel sold a part of this land in 1838 as the following deed shows: (Shenandoah Deed Book “RR”, p. 236)

Port Royal Henry Co. Ky. Dec. 8, 1862

Mr. W. J. Humston

Dear Sir:

I learned from one of my sons that there was a man by your name, who was conductor on the Rail Road from Mitchell to Layfayette, and knowing there was no one of that name except a near relative of ours I felt an anxiety to know something about you and your parentage. I am a Virginian, by birth and raising. I want you to write to me and direct to the above named place and tell me who your father was also your grandfather and where they were from. I will if I live and nothing prevents visit your state in the spring, and would be glad to see any one of my relations. I have a son practicing Medicine at Morocco twelve miles from Kurts station in Newton county in your State. I may be too inquisitive but let me say it belongs to Virginians to be very fond of their relations. I had an uncle Edward in that State, and several cousins, sons of my uncle John. My father’s name was Thomas. If you are a grandson of my uncle John you have an aunt living by me. Tell me what you know in regard to your family and I will write you again. I remain as ever attached to the name if not related.
