Hi, I'm looking for some information based on the information I got from my grandmother just the other day. Rhoda (Roda? not sure how to spell?) Jane Simpkins was my grandmothers grandmother which makes her my great great grand mother. Rhoda Jane Simpkins married Clint (could be Clinton Moore?) They had approx. 10 kids: (kids are not in correct order?) Clint (Jr?) Rufus John Henry- he got drunk & was killed by a train Akin - was killed after a poker game Myrtle (my great grandmother whom I did know) Alice Una Coleen Delfie Violet Rhoda Jane Simpkins Moore was part native american (1/4 Cherokee indian according to my grandmother). I don't have any more information other than this about her because my grandmother never spent much time with her and didn't really care much for her because in her words she was "A Mean Old Woman" who used to hit her with her cane and make my grandmother spell her maiden name S I M P K I N S correctly all the time? According to my grandmother when my great grandmother (Myrtle B:1900) was young Rhoda Jane and Clint Moore took their family from Spartansburg, SC (my grandmother said NC but I believe it was SC as I cannot find a Spartansburg, NC?) through the Cumberland Gap to Wayne County, WV (Genoa ?) where they settled. Since I just started my research I do not have any other info but I am very interested in finding out about the native american info on her. If you have any family connection or information I would greatly appreciate any help. My grandmother also has a picture of Rhoda Jane Simpkins Moore that when I get a copy I would gladly share for any help. Thank you. Nora Notify Administrator about this message?
