AWESOME!!!! AWESOME!!! AWESOME!!!Mignon, I am so excited to have received your email. This is great news and it does confirm some of the notes I have that I couldn't quite link together. Yes, please email me a copy of the letter. I would love to have it. In the meantime, I'll see what I have that can go along with this new information. Thank you so much for thinking of me!

I have been away from the list for a long time, but a cousin just gave me a letter which my grandmother, Nellie E. Finn, nee Lord, had written about her grandmother Lord, but it goes a little further back. This letter confirms that Elizabeth Lord, nee Simpkins, wife of Asa Lord, was the daughter of Catherine O'Brien and Samuel Simpkins, who came from the west; and, it says that Catherine's parents were Asa and Mary O'Brien. It does not give Mary's maiden name, nor does it tell anything more about Samuel Simpkins. The west is a big place; but, his second wife was Hepzabah Haines and they moved to Michigan where they had a son. That is where he is buried and perhaps where he came from. It's a place to check out for more of his family. Any information will be gratefully received. Mark: If you are still on the list and would like a copy of the letter, I would be glad to share. It is in my grandmother's handwriting and she remembered things like that Asa Lord's brother owned a sawmill and had a lumber business. She remembered seeing the sawmill. She mentions Uncle Thomas, Catherine's brother. To me, the letter is quite a find. I don't know where my cousin turned up the letter; but, I know my grandmother's handwriting; she died in 1958.

Thanks Jim, We are trying to figure out if the New Jersey Simpkins are related to the New York Simpkins....who were early settlers in Bedford, Westchester Co. in 1641. Several of us have done DNA testing to try to link the Maryland Simpkins group as well.
