Milton is not actually a child of Nancy and Horatio's. After Nancy died, Horatio remarried--Emma Waddell, who had been previously married. Elijah Thurman 1836 to 1916. They were divorced, but they had one child together Milton Herwood Thurman 1860 to 1952. She got custody of the child, and he appeared in the Simkins 1870 census as one of their children, so it was assumed by the census taker that Milton's last name was Simkins (understandably). Nancy's parents were George and Sarah (Dalton) Reed.
