Surnames: Simpkins, Bishop Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2AIBAIB/413 Message Board Post: I'm trying to find information concerning a Daniel Simpkins that came from New York (and maybe England before that) and was born c 1744 and came to Floyd County, Va. He had a daughter, Fanny Simpkins born c 1768 in New York. Fanny married Henry Bishop, s/o John Bishop & Margaretha Obermeyer, in Montgomery County, VA May 23, 1785. According to the 1880 census, their son Henry stated that his mother was born in New York. I don't have any information concerning the wife of Daniel Simpkins. It is believed that Daniel Simpkins was the son of James Simpkins born c 1729 in New York, James' spouse unkown. Appreciate any help with this line in my family; I'm a descendant of Henry & Fanny Simpkins Bishop, and Fanny's family is my brick wall. Thank you. Carol
