I have two mysteries: both on the same surname Simpson. The first mystery is my G Grandfather Craven Kelley Simpson ( his name is used different ways in each of his marriages). With his first marriage he is listed as C.K. Simpson and he married Josephine Howard on 17 Dec 1879 in Owen Co., Ky and had one child a girl named Alsah. I have no information on the child. His second marriage he is listed as Kelley Simpson he married Sallie Ann Smith on 5 May 1885 in Carroll Co., KY and they had five children I know of. I have no information on three of them Mary (known as Ara), Noah, and Craven Arthur 9known as Arthur in some records. This is part of my mystery. I have no ideal where these two are buried. Sallie deid 25 Aug 1904 in childbrith problems in KY and then Craven m. a third time to Sofronia (known as Fronie) Meeks she was deaf. They were married 19 Nov 1905 in KY. maybe Knox County. He was murdered on 21 Nov 1905 from a gun shot to the stomack. The two younger children (Arthur and Charles) were placed in a orphan home. William Craven and Sallie's oldest son went after the man who killed his father. Nothing has ever been said if he found the man or not. I need to know where Craven Kelley and Sallie Ann (AMITH) Simpson are buried. My second Mystery is where my GGGG Grandfather's family (Father, Mother and any sisters or brothers he might have. Plus the real name of his wife and her last name. His name is Samuel Simpson b.bet 1760 to 1770 in NC. he married Lettice ?? b. abt 1774 in NC ??. Is there anyone out there who can help me find these people? Debby
