There is bio for Arthur Simkins b. 12 Mar 1819, s/o Eldred, gr s/o Arthur Simkins, Sr, br-on-law of Andrew Pickens Butler and Francis Wilkinson Pickens. Apparently, this Arthur did not fare as well as his gr father or his father either. He was in "poor finanacial straits and had sold his share to Francis W. Pickens who wrtoe on that date to James Edward Calhous that ' Arthur was far more in debt that I thought he was. He was entirely unable to take the place at all, and he freely told me so a week before the sale ... Arthur was in great distress. I then determined to make him safe. I let him take 3,192 ac of land in MS on the Yazoo R. at the lowest valuation ... Gave him 41,000 in cash, gave him a home and place to work for a year ... I think that Arthur has got from me about $12,000 .. if he cannot now recover his lost fortune by it, I am done with him for ever and have told him so. My children will not allow me to help him again. I hav edone for him as if he were my own blood brother, but can do no more. I cannot bear his wife (Mary Bonham, d/o John Whitsel Bonham and Sarah Pou with whom Arthur had one child before Mary d. 21 Mar 1845) and shall certainly advise him to go to MS ... Arthur didn't go to MS Other than the fact that his uncle by marriage (George Youngblood m. Nancy Simkins, sister to Arthur's father, Eldred) is a Youngblood, there is no other connection in this biography brief.
