It was about this time that he married Mary Gore, daughter of John Gore of Roxbury, Massachusetts. Like his brother John, he was a cooper by trade. Humphrey and Mary had 7 daughters, and Humphrey died April 1667 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, and left a will. His burial site is currently unknown.
