Humphrey Scammon was born on 2 March 1717/18, probably in Saco, York County, Maine.2,1 He was the son of Capt. Humphrey Scammon and Elizabeth Jordan.1 Humphrey Scammon of Biddeford (Saco side) probably married Susannah Shapleigh of Kittery in October 1738 in Kittery, York County, Maine, (intentions published at Biddeford 6 August 1738).1
When the York County lands and other property of his father Capt. Humphrey Scammon were divided in 1736, Humphrey, the oldest son, received one-third part of the share in the mills, and privilege, the first and second lots above and below the falls, and one-half of the third lot above the falls; together with twelve acres of salt marsh at Goose fair, and nine rods in the upper checker. This was a double portion. In 1744, Humphrey transferred a part of his right to Robert Gray.3 That same year Humphrey moved to Kittery where "he lived to a great age."1
