If the above names indicate a descent from the marriage of Reuben
Paxson and Alice Simcock, then I have done a lot of research on this
Simcock family. You can find an outline (without documentation) at my
website at:

Also, I recently finished a long article on the English origin of the
immigrant John Simcock of Chester co., PA, which includes full
documentation. The article also includes documentation for the
English ancestry of Elizabeth (Simcock) Yearsley (who may or may not
have been a second cousin of John Simcock - the evidence is
ambiguous). The article has been accepted for publication by "The
Genealogist" (published by Picton Press) and will probably appear next
year.
