He was the son of Jacob Simkins and Mary Simkins Corson (née Cassady, also spelled Cassidy and Casseday)
For those doing genealogy research, his name is most often found as J. Wilson Simkins. It should be noted that the members of the Simkins/Simpkins families of southern New Jersey were not consistent in spelling the surname with or without a "p". For example, his daughter, Helen, began spelling it with a "p" once she left home, which is most likely why it is spelled incorrectly on his death cert.
