* notes from junebyr1 13-Jun-2015:
"Please note that Simkin himself stated that he married Benjamin's daughter Nancy after he had removed to Missouri. So they did not marry in Kentucky. At the time they married it would have been the MIssouri Territory.  His wife was Nancy Proctor.  They had a daughter Nancy Jane Harryman which has caused confusion.  There are no contemporary records that Nancy Proctor Harryman had a J or Jane as a middle initial or name.  I would love to see  evidence of his parents. I believe that John was his father. I just would like to know how we prove it. His name was not Simpkins. I have his signature in two places and it is spelled Simkin.  If anyone is interested in this problem, please contact me via email."
