"You have on your list a "Simpson", in the notes you list him as "Simpson married to Belva Toler.
This Simpson Was Charlie L. Simpson, he was my uncle, Addison D. Simpson's brother. Charlie was born 3 September 1913 in West Virginia. Upon his death (1968) he lived with his family in Clear Fork West Virginia. Charlie and Belva had the following Children, Phyllis, Pete (Elmer), Mitch and Peggy.
Charlie's father was Jerry Mastin Simpson, and his mother was Susie K. McComas.
Dad had 8 or 9 brothers and sisters. Joseph Simpson, Sal Simpson, James E. Simpson, Amanda E. Simpson, Earl e. Simpson Pearl Simpson, { she married a Donzie Bailey)
I wasn't sure if you wanted to go beyond 1900, but I saw that you already had Charlie Simpson's name so I thought I would fill in the missing info.
