Here is the family of another daughter of Dr. John and Jane Warren Humphreys.  Again, I have very little information about them.  Is that because she is a "female?"   It makes one wonder.  Apparently Mariah and her husband stayed around Highgate, Duart and Orford Township, Ontario all their lives.  They are buried close by Dr. John and Jane.  Here is a photo of their grave in the Duart Cemetery.

Below is a historical narrative record of Amariah and Mariah Humphreys Brooks and their families taken from pages 789 and 780 of a book entitled Commemorative Biographical Record .  It appears to contain historical records of persons who lived in Orford Township or Kent County in Ontario.  It must have been written between 1905 and 1910.
