I am researching the following surnames: primarily Simpson, and associated names of Hunsaker, Veach, Whiteside, Murrie and Kuykendall, all of whom lived in either Adams or Johnson county, IL from the early 1800's onward. My best known ancestor is William Simpson who came from Kentucky in about 1805 when IL still was a territory and is credited with being the first white settler family in southern Johnson co. around present day Vienna. I believe Simpson township & Simpson Hill were named for this family and they were among the founders of the Gilead Cumberland Presbyterian Church in that area. William and other family members are buried in the Double Bridges cemetery. Simpsons intermarried with all the families previously mentioned. Are there other Simpson researchers in this group? G. Sawyer
