Hello Lisa, There are some newspaper articles that have been extracted, but only after 1866. TSLA has newspapers on microfilm, but I ordered Bolivar Bulletin (Misc.) 1829-1868 and was very disappointed. I can see why they were not published, nothing much on them. There is mention of a Needham INGRAM Jr. in the Will extract of a William SIMPSON Sr. in Hardeman County, Will book 5, page 365-6. The article states his relationship to Mr. Simpson is not mentioned. William SIMPSON SR. Wife: Mary Simpson Sons: John Simpson and William Simpson Daus:Susanna Crutchfield and Mary Ann Mayfield Does not give relation of following: Forrest McKaughm, Marshall Seddens, Needham INGRAM JR., Issac Simpson Exec: Wm. Simpson & Needham INGRAM Wits:M.M. POWELL & Samuel Simpson William Simpson (his x mark) Recorded 31 Jan. 1835. ( The full will is available from TSLA using his name, book # and page#) ********************************************** You may have had this already, but hope it helps.
