By looking at this census, Ephriam say's his
both parents are from North Carolina.
We do know that Mary"Polly" Simmons
is from N.C., this makes me wonder if
maybe , just maybe they could be from
the same area in N.C.
Emma Eggleton says her parents are from,
England.
And All the children are born in Kentucky
