I have been searching for my Simpkins family since the late 1960s. I am stuck with two brothers who are in North Carolina in the later part of the 1700s - in different counties. My ancestor is Thomas Simpkins born mid 1700s who married twice. Thomas was in Wake County, NC where his son Orman Allen Simpkins was born about 1794 to wife Frances Allen. Around 1800 (give or take a couple of years) Thomas with son Orman and brother Joseph went to Davidson County, TN. Try as I might, I cannot get them "back to the boat". Though I am fully aware that the way to correctly do family reseach is to start with the latest ancestor and prove backward. However, at 86 I feel I only have 20 or so more years left to research so if any of you Simpkins descendants in England have found where a Thomas and Joseph emigrated to America, please let me know. I will happily follow any lead. Contact me at Tallygators@earthlink.net. Thanks.
