FAMILY 13.
106. Jonas' Humphrey, [69] (Jonas,^ Jonas,- Jonas') born in Weymouth, Mass.,
3 Sept., 1684. He "was an industrious, peaceable and respectable man; was a weaver by occu-
pation, and also quite a tanner for the times, and reputed to have been very systematic in his
affairs. Strong drink was then seldom used, excepting for medicine; he had a pint bottle that
he used to get filled with spirit at the beginning of the year, which invariably would last to the
end of it."
In his farming matters, there was a great regularity, and some improvement also. "He
began with the potato crop, which was nearly new at that time in the new settlement, and raised
in one year a bushel and a half, which was a wonderment to all about him wiiat lie could do
with so many potatoes." He resided in Weymouth until his death, in 1761, at the age of 77
years. He married (i) Martha , who died 22 June, 1712; married (2) (published 26 Nov.,
1716) Mary Neal, of Hraintree, Mass., who survived her husband about five years, and d. in 1766.
