Notes

Henry Sympson’s parents:
William SYMPSON was born in 1766 in Pennsylvania. His parents lived for a while in a part of North Carolina that is now Tennessee, and William came to Kentucky in about 1795. There is evidence that he served in the Revolutionary War and fought the Cherokee Indians. He died in 1843, when he was 77.
William was a farmer as well as the sheriff of Green County, Kentucky. He was very involved in politics, and encouraged his sons to be likewise.
William may have married a Rebecca CLENDENNIN and/or a Peggie DONAHOO.

From USGenweb Message Board:


Looking for ancestors William SYMPSON and his wife Mary CLENDENNON, who were in Green Co., by 1796. They moved there from Sullivan Co., TN. William SYMPSON served in the Revolutionary war, enlisting first in Oct., 1781 as a substitute for his father Henry SYMPSON. Later he served as a substitute for John CLENDENNON (father or other relative of Mary?). He was born Oct. 25, 1766 in PA. I'm descended from their daughter Margaret, who married Durham HAIL. Looking for other descendants and/or information on ancestry.
