Surnames: Simpkins Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/2AIBAIB/345 Message Board Post: I'm looking for any information regarding John E. Simpkins. He was born in Ohio on March 9, 1874. The location is unknown, but I have photos of him in the Ohio National Guard when he was 18 years old (1892). The photo was taken at the Weyrich's Studio-27/29 West Main Street, Hillsboro, Ohio. I also have a photo of him at the age of 20 taken at the same studio. His father was Joseph E. Simpkins who was born on June 22, 1846 and died March 14, 1914. I have a photo of him at the age of 40 (1886) but it does not list where it was taken. It appears that John Simpkins had two brothers, Wilbur and Bill. I have photos of both with Bill's showing that it was taken at the R.J. Stevens Studio-Williamsburg, Ohio. Thanks for any information that you may have.
