Birth: 1640, Portsmouth, NH (Kittery Point, York, ME?) Death: 1 Jan 1727, Saco, ME Occ: Ferry operator and tavern owner

Was the first Scammon born in America. He lived in Kittery, ME until 1679, when he moved to Saco, ME and purchased the estate of Henry Waddock, which consisted of about 200 acres of land along the East bank of the Saco River, about 1/2 mile from the river’s mouth. Humphrey’s home was located near the ferry, which he operated as well as a tavern for the entertainment of travelers. First seen in America in Oct 1667 when widow Sarah Abbott withdrew a suit against him for refusing to satisfy her for lodging, etc., and for fish lent him in her husband’s lifetime.

In May 1674, no residence given, he bought land in Wells, ME from N. Fryer.

Bray’s estate in 1694; culler of fish 1695-6; gr. j. 1699; returned to Saco to be taken captive with wife and sons Humphrey & Samuel in 1703. One Humphrey was a resident of Truro, Mass. when that town was incorporated.

He made his will in Kittery, ME on 12 Mar 1713-4, probably returned to Saco as soon as possible, and there sold at Kittery Point in 1725.

He died 1 Jan 1727 at age 87. In 1697, Indians attacked the settlement at Saco & with others, took Humphrey & his family captive. They were taken to Canada and spent about one year in captivity. When peace was restored, they returned to Saco & found that the only item to survive the Indian raid a year earlier was a beer mug which was found outside their ruined home. This mug has been preserved as a memorial to the hardships & sufferings endured by our forefathers. The mug is a brown earthenware with alternate stripings of violet & blue & bears a medallion of King William stamped on the front.

The name of Humphrey’s wife is unknown, probably Elizabeth Unknown.

In his will he stipulated that “1/2 acre of land at the ferry place be reserved forever as a burying place for my relations.” The exact site of Humphrey’s final resting place cannot be found, but the slate markers on the graves of his two sons are visible today.
