Dear June, I am seaching for wills for settlements, etc. for the period of 1806 - 1817 for a Simpson. My g-g-g grandfather Henry Simpson was left an orphan in 1817 at age 11 in Greene Co., Tn, but from his activities in later life, he may have had connections with Washington Co., TN Simpsons. Would you please check for anything that might fit with this possiblility? I am wondering if Henry's father died and his mother moved to Greene Co., TN after her husband's death and maybe remarried. I found a connection with Ellis King, who owned the land Henry sold in 1831 as far back as 1805 and 1810. Thank you for any help you can find.
