Posted on: Venango Co. Pa Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Venango/2296 Surname: ------------------------- Thank you Dawna. I became aware of the story through the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article. I didn't know if Frank Simcox was a relative based on the article alone, but through this message board was able to establish that this is so. I knew that Robert Simcox Jr came from around Sharon,PA according to family legend but was certain that he was related to Frank Simcox. Being a relatively uncommon name, I guessed that they might be related due to the proximity of the Frank Simcox birthplace to Sharon PA. My line is through Robert Simcox Jr. who was the son of Robert Simcox Sr. After Robt. Sr. died, his wife Jane, moved to Illinois where my line was established.
