She was Sarah Lawrence b. 22 Nov 1765 d. 25 Mar 1822. they married in Duchess CO., NY in 1784. She was the dau. of Elder John Lawrence, who followed the Simpkins to botetourt Co, VA. James Simpkins was in Botetourt Co by 10 Sept 1774. He was found fighting at the Battle of Point Pleasant. Kegley's Virginia Frontier and Lewis Preston summers "Annals of Southwest VA 1769-1800". He bought land on Meadow Creek in 1785. Thought maybe someone else was interested in this family. James and Sarah had a Dau. Mary "Polly" who married Jacob Clare.
