     I have a book called "Brashear Families of the Ohio Valley, Vol. 4". There are many Brashear, Broshears, Brasseur burials near the Ohio River in Warrick, Gibson, Spenser, Vanderburgh as well as other nearby counties in the southwestern Indiana and northwestern Kentucky. Interesting read and vital information! Can't put them all in here.
     A large number of Beshear(s) families, descendants of Jeremiah and Elizabeth Brashears, lived in Hopkins, Christian, and Caldwell Counties, Kentucky, beginning about 1800. They are not to be confused with the large number of Brasher families living in the same area at the same time, who are descendants of John and Aquilla Brasher, sons of Thomas Brazier, who migrated from Greenville County, South Carolina, about 1805. Both families used familiar names like John, Thomas, and Henry, but both also used unusual names like Emanuel, Hampton and Larkin. Beshear(s) is a fairly common corruption of Brashears, and the family seems to have stemmed from Jeremiah and Elizabeth Brashears, of Spartanburg County, South Carolina.

     Very little is known about William Humphrey; from the 1850 census record of Ohio County, Kentucky it is concluded that he was born [there?] in 1810, based on his age 40.
Hypothetical / Circumstantial suggestion:
William and Elizabeth's children were married to the Ferguson family.
William's mother Mary Ann Ferguson married to Raleigh Humphrey, brother of Benjamin.
Did Raleigh and Benjamin arrange the intermarriage for William and Elizabeth?
Where is their marriage certificate! Their signatures would show.
m. Aug 4, 1837 (in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky? as shown thru other sources). No proof on this because their first born Matilda Jane Humphrey was in 1830/1831 as shown on 1850 Census. I have searched for their marriage record many hours.... did I miss the boat? Edit with documentation appreciated.
His name is on the newspaper clipping attached.
1850 Census shows William, Elizabeth and her sister Margaret, Emanuel Breshears, her mother Elizabeth (McGriff), brother Joseph, Rolla, Richard and the Tichenor are on the same page.

Hi - I found this - Dave. James Praden Humphrey rather than James Humphrey. Added a variation of the recorded data. I believe it the middle name is Pruden. The Pruden family moved to Ohio Co. then to Henderson Co. from VA about the same time the Humphreys came to Ohio Co. There are other Pruden/Humphrey marriages.
