Humphrey was a kinsman and companion of William I the Conqueror. The Bohun family name which he brought to England was taken from a village situated in the Cotentin between Coutances and the estuary of the Vire River. {-Encycl. Brit., 1956, 3:790-1} The following material is excerpted from "Les Seigneurs de Bohon," by Jean LeMelletier (Coutances: Arnaud-Bellee, 1978). This was translated from French to English. The book was found at UCLA's Research Library as CS 439 D416L45. Following tradition, the Mary family lived in the community of St. Come du Mont Normandy). There was a Mary Street named after Ralph, first sire de Mary, friend of the sire of Sainte Marie du Mont and the dukes of Denmark in our country. According to legend, Ralph was secretly married to the daughter of the lord of Mont Haguez. They had a son, Richard I de Mary, or Richard the Old, who is attributed with the founding of the churches of Sainte Come du Mont, de Bohon, and de Meautis in 950. Richard de Mary (Mari or Meri) married Billeheude (Billeheust). This information comes from a document concerning the Bohon priory. Billeheude is sometimes considered the daughter of a certain Richard de Billeheust or Richard de Saint Sauveur. In the family we find a Bileud or Bilelde, but at a later date she is considered the daughter of Neel II of Saint Saveur, one of the principal barons who revolted against William the Bastard during his youth. Because of the uncertain relations with the Norsemen who landed at Contentin and their chief, Rollo, there was a strong desire to unite the conquering and native peoples. The Mary family also desired to hold onto their Christian origins and remain loyal to the dukes of Normandy. Richard de Mary had three sons: Richard, Humphrey, and Enjuger. Humphrey I (Honfroy, Onfrei, Onfroi, Unfridus, Humfridus) Humphrey I, also called The Old, was the founder of the house of Bohon. He is mainly known as a companion of William the Conqueror at the conquest of England and as the founder of the Bohon priory. Old English books designate him Humfridus cum Barba or Humphrey with the Beard. His beard distinguished him from other Norman knights of the period because they habitually shaved. Humphrey was the godfather of William and was certainly close to him because we see the names of William, duchess Mathilde, and their children associated with Humphrey's children.
The oldest mention of Humphrey that we know of is in William's journals. It confirms a donation made at the abbey of St. Trinite du Mont at Rouen by Gilbert, Osbern's vassal. William's signature is accompanied by that of Humphrey, son of Richard, listed with the rest of William's men. In 1062 we find Humphrey again with William at the Hogue de Biville, along with Roger de Montgomery and William, son of Osbern. At a meal in the middle of the road, William said they should be free like the common people of the neighboring priory of Heauville. In recounting the story, a monk said that a fellow diner criticized William's liberalism. Not taking too kindly to criticism, William threatened to strike him with a shoulder of pork. According to a paper from about 1060, the knight Humphrey, a rich and noble man, granted the priory he founded, St. Georges de Bohon, to the abbey of St. Martin of Marmoutier. Humphrey tells us "with the inspiration of God and the patronage of lord earl William for the relief of my soul, and those of the late Richard of Mary, my father, and of the late Billeheude, my mother...in the octave of the Pentecost before the venerable father Geoffrey, bishop of Coutances... I protect the abbey of St. Martin, the servants Arnouf, Heribert, and Roger, and the other people whose names are inscribed here." The authenticity of this act, of which the original documents were unfortunately destroyed, does not seem to bear to be contested. The latest dates proposed for the founding of the priory come from dates of estate foundings (from Martene and Miss Gantier 1068; Gerville and the Bernard abbey 1092; L. Musset between 1066 & 1087). However, the title of earl was given to William before 1066 and the founding of the priory was earlier. Originally the priory was settled by four secular canons. The act of including the priory with the abbey was precisely to entrust it with the lands of a knight. (A knight cared for and protected his lands and those who lived there from thieves, warring lords, etc.) In later years St. Martin became very popular. It was at Marmoutier that William himself joined the Battle Abbey, founded to commemorate the Battle of Hastings where it was fought. A document signed by Sir William, duke of the Normands, before 1066 shows that Humphrey de Bohon gave a garden from his fief (holdings) in Puchay to the nuns of St. Amand in Rouen for the repose of his soul and those of his three wives when one of his daughters became religious. The monastery of St. Leger in Preaux was given the deeds to Barbeville, St. Marie's Church, the town of Carentan, and the neighboring rectory. Later Humphrey bequeathed the monastery a convent that his second daughter entered. Humphrey's sons Robert and Richard agreed with his actions. By 1066 Humphrey had been married three times, two daughters had entered the convent, and sons Robert and Richard were old enough to assume their inheritance. Humphrey was a senior citizen. Wace cited among the soldiers of Hastings: E de Bohon the older Humphrey. Humphrey's name, a bit distorted, is seen on a majority of other lists of William's battle companions. As Wace's poem was written more than a hundred years after the events happened, some feel that Humphrey was not among the people at the Battle of Hastings. Taking into account the type of document (poem), it is very probable that Humphrey did participate in the battle. He was also with several neighbors of Cotentin and probably vassals, whose names were associated with his. On the Bayeux tapestry, in a meal scene presided over by Bishop Odo, a bearded man is sitting to William's right. It is possible that this is Humphrey de Bohon--with the Beard--who would occupy a place of honor at the table out of respect for his age. Ten years after Hastings, William was in England, so Queen Mathilda was left in charge of the government in Normandy. We know Humphrey was also in Normandy because of the act of Cherbourg, about 1076. Under the king's orders, he rendered justice with the monks at the Heauville priory against Bertram de Bricquebec, viscount of Cotentin, who had levied unfair taxes on his people. Humphrey is mentioned in the Domesday Book (a great census taken of all the lands and people in England as ordered by William, between 1080 and 1086) as a champion and defender of the throne, and as lord of Taterford in Norfolk. Much of his wealth is attributed to the goodwill of William and the spoils of the campaigns, which was not a unique situation. However, the possession of large estates and properties in England was not all fun; they were hard to protect from raiders and warring lords. Humphrey probably also benefitted from Normandy's continued growth and profits from his holdings. Humphrey's signature is on: A treaty at Bayeaux. The king presided over the treaty between the abbey of Mont St. Michel and William Paynel. Two documents of Boscherville on 30 January 1080, with the signatures of his son Richard, and William, Mathilda, and their two sons. One is the endowment of the church of St. Georges de Boscherville; the other documents a gift of St. Gervais Church and St. Portais to St. Florent de Saumur with other revenues by William de Briouze. A document of William the Conqueror at Caen confirming the foundation of the Lessay Abbey on 14 July 1080. Another document for the foundation of the Montebourg Abbey. Humphrey's decision to combine the priory with the abbey was contested by Geoffrey (son of Nervee) who reclaimed the priory. The case was settled in favor of Humphrey by a judgment of the king's court on 27 December 1080 at Cherbourg. Among the witnesses were Humphrey de Bohon, his son Richard, and Torchetil de Bohon. Continually Humphrey added his border lands to his holdings. In answer to his request, he received a formal deed from King William at Bernouville, probably at the end of 1081. Other religious establishments benifitted from his generosity. Humphrey died between 1080 and 1093. He had four sons that we know of: Robert, Humphrey, Richard, and Enguerran, and two daughters. Robert died young, before his father. Enguerran became a monk at Marmoutier in the Bohon priory. Richard began another branch, whose descendents include (in France) Enjuger de Bohon and Richard de Bohon, bishop of Coutances, and (in England) the Bohons of Midhurst, Jocelin, bishop of Salisbury, and Reginald and Savary, bishops of Bath. Humphrey became the illustrious ancestor of the earls of Hereford.

[55622] "The Bangor Daily News [Bangor, Maine]," 25 January 2024: "Deer Isle - Jerauld 'Jerry' Leslie Hutchinson passed away late in the afternoon January 20, 2024, after a brief illness. Jerry was born October 2, 1933, on Little Deer Isle, to Walter T. and Flossie (Eaton) Hutchinson, the youngest of five children. Jerry spent his childhood days exploring the woods and shoreline of Little Deer Isle, visiting neighbors, spending time at Walter Douglass' store, listening to the conversations about the War, and in his words, "enjoying my own company." He started school at four years old, after he was found several times by teacher, Alice Eaton sitting on the doorstep listening to the classes. He was also found inside the school on weekends 'playing school', writing on the chalkboard and reciting what he had heard. So began his school career at the little schoolhouse on Little Deer Isle. Jerry graduated from Deer Isle High School in 1952 and went on to attend Drury College in Missouri, earning a bachelor's degree in U.S. History. On June 26, 1956, he married Rhea Conary, on Isle Au Haut, Maine. Soon after he enlisted in the United States Navy and served 4 years on the USS Coral Sea. After serving in the Navy, he attended the University of Maine in Orono and earned his teaching degree, followed soon after by a master's degree in Education. Jerry began his school teaching career at the old Sedgwick Junior High, also serving as Principal. The years at Sedgwick Junior High were followed by several years teaching and serving as Principal at Deer Isle and Stonington Schools and, in 1978 he became Principal of Easton High School in Easton, Maine, serving as Principal until 1986. Former students have always called him 'Mr. Hutchinson,' not Jerry, thus showing their honor and respect. Also during these years of teaching, Jerry taught Driver's Education at local schools and to students of all ages in the community. Former driving students have commented to Jerry's family about his patience as a driving instructor, never getting upset when mishaps occurred. After "retiring" in 1986, Jerry decided he needed to remain active so began working as a janitor at local schools and then as bus driver for many years, finally retiring for good at 86 years old. Jerry also served as Master of the Masonic Lodge in Deer Isle for several years and volunteered as a driver for Friends in Action up until November 2023. A lifelong diehard Boston Red Sox fan, Jerry took many bus trips to Fenway with his brother Elwell to watch their beloved Sox, always enjoying themselves whether they won or lost, bringing home various memorabilia. Summer weekend afternoons were spent in the backyard sitting in an Adirondack chair listening to a game on the radio. Dad, Grampie, Jerry, Mr. Hutchinson was a kind, gentle man, a friend to everyone he met, always looking out for others, taking care of his family to the end. He is sorely missed. Jerry is survived by his daughter, Vicki (Harold) Ingalls; daughter, Susan (Stephen) Hutchinson; grandson, Derek; granddaughters, Heather, Hollie, Hannah, Mary Anne, and Abigail; great-grandsons, Stanley, Dawson, and Roland; and several nephews, nieces, and many cousins, and friends. He is also survived by a special friend, Lola Marsten, with whom he enjoyed many outings in recent years. He was predeceased by his wife; parents and all four of his siblings, Walter Jr., Edward, Hazel, and Elwell."
