Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/2AIBAIB/367 Message Board Post: I recently went to the Brown Co. courthouse and acquired information about the Simpkins, Newberry, Leeds & Reed families who were tied by marriage in the 1800's. Also was able to search some cemeteries in the county. If anyone has roots to the area, please contact me and I'll share what info I have.
