Surnames: Simpkins Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/2AIBAIB/417.1 Message Board Post: My great-grandfather George Simpkins supposedly moved to Arkansas after fleeing from Alabama. Stories say that he left a family behind. He was born in Alabama in July of 1851. Both of his parents were from South Carolina. I don't know the names of his parents, nor the names of his Alabama spouse/children. I am trying to trace his bloodline beyond Arkansas. If you have any info that would help, please send me an email!
