Dan, I am new to this list, and I am not familiar with who is included in your line or who you are referring to as your friend in Dallas, GA, but my G G Grandfather was the S.P. Compote you listed in the 1860 Pauling Co. GA census. He ws Simpson P. Compton and his daughter Mary Delane Compton was my G Grandmother. The J.D. you listed is Joel D. Compton, who is reported to be the possible Joel listed as a son of Hezekiah Crumpton (in his will) by The Compton Ancestry Home Page: http://members.xoom.com/desotojohn/ Click on Comptons I am researching. All the Comptons in the 1850 GA census are listed here, also. The E.M. Compton you listed is Eli Mack Compton.. (Listed as Eli M in 1850 and Mack in 1870 GA census) Tina R Achord; tag@eatel.net is a descendant of Joel D. Compton. I have not been able to make the connection to all these Comptons to determine who Simpson P Comptons parents were. If anyone can help with this information I would really appreciate hearing from you. Simpson was listed in the Van Zanat Co, TX census in 1880. I found no other Comptons in the 1880 Van Zanat Co, TX census. I have Simpson, Edwin, and Mack listed in 1870 Pauling Co GA if anyone needs this information.
