July 11, 2025 - The descendants of William Humphries will gather for the thirty-eighth annual reunion at Holy Trinity Global Methodist Church located at 13207 Orleans Street in Houston, Texas on Saturday, July 26, 2025, from 11am to 2pm. This has been a change in location in the last few years. Our reunion will meet in odd years in the greater Houston area and even years in Center to honor our ancestral Shelby County homeplace. We ask attendees to bring covered dishes and a nominal gift for a fun gift exchange after the meal. We invite all the Humphries clan to come and share stories, pictures, laughter, and great food on July 26.
William Humphries married Mary Ann Barr while they lived in England. They settled in Shelby County in 1874 where they raised six children. Four years after Mary Ann's death, William married Ellen Eliza McCauley. William and Ellen had eight children. William helped with the work on the Shelby County courthouse and old county jail.
