My first guess is that Sarah is Nancy (Brown) Simpson's sister...................... Cleo cdmhogan@usit.net Clarksville, TN I'm killing brain cells trying to sort this out...can anyone help? I'm looking at the 1850 Canaan, Gasconade Co. MO census. Jeremiah Holt 24 Nancy 21 Melinda 2 Sarah Simpson 22 Wm Simpson 24 Daniel E 7 Jefferson 5 But, on another page of that same census, I find listed just below the family of Jacob Holt, George Holt, Elizabeth Holt , another entry for Sarah Simpson with children Daniel and Jefferson. The death record for Daniel E. Simpson shows his mother as "Mae Holt" I've also seen the Marriage record for William Simpson, father of Daniel, which shows the first name "Sarah" but the last name was not entered on the document. Has anyone ever seen a Mae or May Holt? Can anyone tell me who Sarah Simpson belongs with?
