In the Will of Theophilus Simonton (his wife Marey or Mary was the sister of Archibald Smith, d. Sussex Co DE, 1729), Theophilus names Nathan and Smith Frame. Nathan is a Frame name, not a Simonton one. Theophilus Simonton's Will was written in Conestoga Manor, Lancaster Co PA in 1754. It was probated several years later in Rowan Co NC, after Theophilus died, the family moved to NC. Does anyone have any information or documentation where Nathan Frame and Smith Frame received their inheiritance? I suspect that the son of Theophilus and Marey Simonton, named Theophilus Simonton II, who died in Lancaster Co PA in 1750 wasmarried to a Frame. The Will of Theophilus Simonton, 1754, was signed by Patrtick D. Duffey (who appears to have come to NC with the Simontons) and John Love.

On 4 Aug. 1802 *a* Smith and *a* Nathan Frame purchased 640acres of land (Range #22, Township 3S, Section 8W, Pickaway Township, Pickaway County, Ohio). There were three co-purchasers of the land (which was purchased from a US Govt Land Office), the third being John Hopkins (son of John Hopkins) formerly of Sussex Co., DE. My research interest was John Hopkins, and I have never identified the Frames by age, parents, whatever. The record of this land acquisition can be found in the "Entrymen (Ohio) Series" by L. Richard Kocher. The LDS Library, Salt Lake call number for the book containing the above info is 971.1815 R2k. The three above named individuals also purchased approx 350acres of the adjoining section 9W, which Section 9W portion was bounded on it's west side by the Scioto River. Samuel Hopkins (brother of above John) came the same township/county several years later and was married to Jean (Simonton) Frame Hopkins. I do not have, recorded, any other Simonton or Frame information. Joe Lake > In the Will of Theophilus Simonton (his wife Marey or Mary was the sister of Archibald Smith, d.
