He was born in millville, NJ about 1852. I have found him in Census data from 1880 going forward in which I am sure I have the right Benjamin. Prior to that, I am not sure. The 1870 Census has a Benjamin Simpkins living in Millville with his age given as 19. There are about a dozen female Simpkins in the household and the oldest is Harriet, age 48. I could assume that this is the same Benjamin and that Harriet is his mother, but I want to make sure. I am hoping that someone can help me determine if I have the right Simpkins family.
