In Reply to: First Umphress in North America? by Howard Umphress of 125

Howard, I was recently at a genealogical library where I found the following from Maryland:
LOWER POTOMACK HUNDRED
"A List of the Numbers of Souls Taken and Given to The Committee of Observation-Age and Sex of White and Black. Aug 22, 1776-"
John Umphress- age 20 b. 1756
Humphrey, Owen and Mary. Children: Owen, b. August 7, 1748;John, Sept. 29, 1750.
Ann mar. Allen Taylor 6/10/1799
Eliza mar. Daniel Barnes 05/16/1802
Mary m. James Scott 02/04/1797
Sarah Ann mar. John Ranter (or Ranker) 12/09/1778
Thos. m. Margaret Burch 11/22/1781
Pumphrey, Ann m. John Brashears 12/09/1778
James m. Christy Osborn 12/23/1786
Mary m. Benj. Walker 12/31/1778
Rachel m. Stephen Phillips 11/11/1795
Richard m. Eliz. King 02/21/1786
Sarah m. Jesse Phelps 09/02/1795
Wm. m. Mary Rollings 02/04/1792
I was really delighted and surprised to see a John Umphress in its pure spelling. One other I'd seen was a David Umphress in Tipton, Indiana that pre-dates Edmund and Mitchell.
