    1. [KYANDERS] Simpson, Milburn, Burgin
    2. Does anybody have any reliable information on the Simpson family that came to Anderson Co. about 1850 from Marion Co.? Lloyd's marriage record (second mariage) indicates that he was born in Pittsylvania Co., Va. about 1799-1800. It would seem to me that the families of at least two brothers were in Anderson. Lloyd came with his wife Rebecca Milburn by the time of the 1850 census. The family of his probable brother Peyton (wife Sarah McCarty) was still in Marion Co. in 1850, although Peyton was already deceased by that time. By about 1852 they were in Anderson Co., where widow Sarah and four of her children all married Burgins. I have seen one undocumented claim that the parents of Lloyd and Peyton were Lloyd Simpson and Martha Smith of Pittsylvania. Does anybody have proof of this and any other information on the family? I see that there are several other Simpson men in Anderson who were the right age to be brothers of Lloyd and Peyton, but have nothing to prove it. Marion Co. has a large Catholic population, but the Simpsons are obviously Protestants. Bob Moore
