DeeAnn, I can't help with the obits, our newspapers we have on film do not go back that far. However, this might help a little bit. Effingham Co. Census 1860 Elliotstown Green, Alexander 29 Farm Laborer b. KY (This does not jibe with your dates and place of birth for Alexander) Ellender 26 Dom. b. IL Elizabeth 8 Amand 5 Sarah H. 3 Nancy S. 7/12 All children born in IL. Jefferson H. 26 Farm Laborer b. KY Alexander is also on the 1855 State census. In the 1860 census there are two families of Simpsons. May be brothers to Ellender (?) They both come from TN.
