Frederick was raised in Auburn, New York, where he went to the Auburn Academy. In Chillicothe Frederick entered the Methodist Episcopal ministry. They had the following children: Helen Frances Humphreys (1844–?).
Frederick Hahnemann Humphreys (1847–1919).
Alvah Jay Sperry Humphreys (1851–1884) who was the father of Frederick Erastus Humphreys. And Frank Landon Humphreys (1858–?).
He was the personal physician of Theron T. Pond (?–1852), and Humphreys claimed that Pond gave him permission to manufacture Pond"s Creams before he died. Humphreys began to manufacture the product under the name "Pond"s Extract".
Palmer, who took over the Pond"s corporation, received an injunction from Humphrey using the name "Pond"s Extract" or manufacturing the cream.
Around 1871 the lawsuit of Palmer versus Humphrey was still pending, when F. West. Hurtt, a banker of New York, bought the alleged rights from Humphrey Homeopathic Medicine, and took Palmer into the new partnership, giving him a one-eighth interest in the new corporation. Frederick Humphreys died in 1900 in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey, and he was buried in Fort Hill Cemetery in Auburn.
