He was engaged in the brewing business with his father-in-law, after whose death he designed setting up as an undertaker, but Lieut. Gov. Hamilton bestowed on him the lucrative office of Notary Public; at which favor to the family their kinsman Thomas Penn expressed great satisfaction. Humphreys became a conveyancer, and, as a convenience to him and his customers, he was appointed one of the County Justices, that he might take acknowledgments of deeds, but not to sit in Court.
He was some time a Warden of Christ Church, and was Secretary of the Convention of the Episcopal Clergy of Pennsylvania and the Lower Counties which met at Phila. Apr. 30, 1760, adjourning May 5. He was Clerk of the Orphans' Court for several years prior to the Revolution. In 1777, he was arrested as a Tory, and gave his parole. (He m., 2nd, Sep. 5, 1759 Ann Powell.) He d. in Phila, bu. Xt.
