Are there any descendents of the Simpson/Sympson families in Sullivan Co., TN? I am trying to track down the parents of Henry Simpson born 1806, VA, and think there is reason to believe that he may have been the grandson of Henry Sympson of Sullivan Co., TN. Henry Sympson's son William was a captain in the militia in Sullivan Co., TN and there was also a William Simpson who was a captain in the Greene Co., TN Militia in 1813. I also found a list of men who had land grants to claim in Sullivan Co., TN and William Simpson was listed on that list in the newspaper in Knoxville, TN. A William Simpson signed a deed for Daniel Simpson in Knox Co., TN in 1824. My Henry Simpson, whose first record available is in Greene Co., TN where he married Anna Carter in 1827, named his first son Daniel and his second William. I don't know what if any naming pattern this would be. I would appreciate any help on this family that you might be able to give. Barbara
