Some corrections to the above information.Here is the family of Celia M. SPENCER and George W. SIMPKINS (Harriet who is mentioned as a child in the above message is actually a neice):
Third Generation
f-1. Joseph Thomas SIMPKINS. Born in 1842 in Pennsylvania.It appears he may have died young.
f-2 Sophia SIMPKINS. Born in 1844 in Pennsylvania.
Sophia married John BENNETT.
f-3 Cecelia E. SIMPKINS. Born on 24 Mar 1845 in Pennsylvania. Cecelia E. died in Boone Co, IL on 14 Jan 1910; she was 64. Buried in Boone Co, IL.
Cecelia E. married James O. ROSENCRANZ, son of John ROSENCRANZ & Emeline. Born on 5 May 1833 in New York. James O. died on 14 Feb 1906; he was 72.
They had the following children:

f-4. Catherine SIMPKINS. Born in 1846 in Pennsylvania.
On 23 Feb 1866 , she married George BLACHFORD, in Boone Co, IL.
They had the following children:Roy (1867-) Ray (1868-) [although this could represent the same person], ?July (1872-)
f-5. George W. SIMPKINS. Born in 1848 in Pennsylvania. On 29 Dec 1867, he first married Nettie THOMAS, in Boone Co, IL. On 3 Dec 1872, he second married Mary PIERCE, in Boone Co, IL.
At Celia's death in 1905 it mentions that she has a son in Spokane, Washington, I presume it is George.
