Jesse Brigham Humphreys was a native of Grahams­town, South Africa. He came with his parents, Joseph Richard and Charlotte Poulton Hum­hreys, to Utah in 1859, and settled in Salt Lake City. As a boy, he herded cows for Brigham Young in City Creek Canyon. They came to Millville in 1865, and he and his brothers farmed in Millville and Pocatello Valley.

On December 4, 1879, he married Margaret Elmina Graham, the daugh­ter of Robert and Mary Ellen Read Graham. She was born December 11, 1861, at South Weber, Utah, and moved with her parents to Millville about 1864.

Elmina had poor health, so her boys took turns staying home to do the washing. The oldest son, Bert, was in charge of getting breakfast and sending the younger children to school. The daughters helped bottle 1200 quarts of fruit every year for their family of eighteen. Elmina died March 17, 1932.

Elmina and Jesse were the parents of sixteen children: Joseph Robert, Margaret Perletta, Jesse Lorenzo, Angus Leroy, Willard Haines, Hazen Archie, Estella Mabel, James Roscoe, John Russell, Bertha Pearl, Ruth LaBlanche, Sarah Eliza, Dowayne Percival, Oressa, Collas and Philo.
