    Hopstill [sic, see comment following] the Son of Jonas Humphrey & Susana his wife was born March 20th 1722.
    [Note: the age at death works out to a birth in 1722, the secondary sources give this as his birthdate, and another son named Hopestill is born and died in 1733-34, so this appears to be an error in recording. The only copy available online is typed, so clearly not the original, and it says Hopstill. So it is not clear if it was miscopied somewhere along the line, or if the child's name was changed to honor the great-grandfather before worrying about the grandfather.]
