So far, all these people were born in Cornwall. The Simmons were supposed to have traveled with the Trurans to CA by wagon train. I haven't found the Simmons in 1850, yet. All of their children were born in Wisconsin between 1844 and 1850. I am going to look for them as Simons. Sometimes that's how the name was spelled. Thomas Simmons and his wife Susan were born in England. If the story is true, maybe finding one family will be finding the others. Diane
