Lena, You may be interested to know that the spelling of the name Simeon was just that in several family lines around 1800 in the area of Guilford/Granville counties, NC. So you do not need to assume that Simeon is a misspelling of the given name of Simon, though it may be. Also the surname of Resor or Ressor was a familiar name in Bertie Co NC around 1800 and before. I am not a Resor Researcher and so can add little except that it is a rare surname in my experience and I know that there are many documents with the name of Ressor in the NC Archives, primarily in the Bertie Co NC area. Bertie Co NC also has a very active Roots mailing list. Bertie is an interesting county in NC. Based on the dates of birth for your Ressor line, they very well could have migrated out of that part of NC (which is known as southern VA) through TN and on into IL/IN. This was very common about that time-that is prior to about 1840 or so. Bertie Co NC has a very interesting history. For example, many of the white residents sided with and fought on the side of the North during the Civil War even though they were slave-owners. They were very upset at the idea of NC seceding from the Union and this was a more urgent matter for them than slavery.
