My line ties back to Sarah (Boyd) Newell, dau of Robert Boyd, Vet of War of 1812. There were several Simspons married into the Newell lines. I have also communicated with Jay concerning Nola Boyd, who married Coney Dial Simpson, and descends from Robert Boyd through Boyd lines. I have a Robert Lee Simpson m/abt 1914 to Emily Newell, dau of Rufus M. Newell. Ira Cleveland Simpson was the 2nd husband of Sarah Cordelia Newell, dau of Rufus M. Newell. They married Jul 4, 1905. I have the names of children of these two families, but little else. Rufus Newell is the son of Robert Boyd Newell, my gtgtgrandfather. Robert is son of James and Sarah (Boyd) Newell.
