I am just starting the Simcoe/Hurd family tree. Jane and Frederick were parents to my grandmother, Francis Adell Hurd,1877-1980, IL. They had 3 other children,Hattie, 1872, IL, Joseph H.,1876 and Lydia, 1879, IL. Francis married Willis Marion Simcoe, 1873-1940, IL. My uncle, Phillip Sumner, 1898, was born in Neal, KA, before they came to Washington. My dad, Frederick J, 1906-1973, and his sister Neva Bailey, 1900, were born in WA. I hope someone out there can help me. Thank you. Shirley Simcoe
