| This is the Simpson Family Tree. This family tree is constantly undergoing changes, as I locate or receive new information. I am researching Thomas Simpson, born about 1780 in Ireland/Scotland. He married Rebecca Arnold about 1805. Children of Rebecca and James Simpson are: James, Robert, Lewis, Martha, John and William. Thomas and Rebecca migrated from York County, South Carolina to St. Clair County, Jefferson County area in the early 1830s. Their son, Dr. James Simpson was born abt 1814, in York County, South Carolina, but settled in St. Clair County, Alabama. Dr. James Simpson was married first to Martha Newton, then to Martha J. Painter in 1850. Martha's maiden name was Morgan, as she had been previously married to Joel Painter in 1846. The children of Dr. James Simpson and Martha J. Morgan are: John, Drucilla, Mahala, James Grant. James Grant Simpson was born April 6, 1869 in St. Clair County Alabama, married Martha Mize in 1890. Children of James and Martha are: Shirley C. Simpson, my grandfather, born on the 4th of July, 1898 in St. Clair County Alabama. Shirley C. Simpson married Louisa Daisy Little, born April 6, 1903, died in 1936. Shirley and Daisy had many children, among them, Billie Jo Simpson, my Mother. Although there is still much work to be done, I am publishing our family tree now, hoping to progress more rapidly in locating other family members who can share additional information in many areas. The tree is as correct as possible for now, and contains many details and thoughts for some of the inconsistent findings in areas of the family which may be in doubt. My struggles with some inconsistent information are out there for viewing. I gratefully recognize two Cousins, who previously developed much of the family data for Simpson and McLaughlin families, sharing their data with me. Melody Chipley (from Tennessee)has also provided much information in this tree. Melody graciously shared all of her family photos of the Simpsons with me, and other valuable information. My tree does not deviate at all on the McLaughlin and Pool(e) family, where the information was given to me by my Cousin, Paul McLaughlin who is now deceased. Paul's family knowledge and wonderful personality will be missed. To both Cousins, I owe much thanks for all their hard work, and for paving the way to follow the trails. Paving the way is generally much more difficult than following a trail. Cousins Melody and Paul, I Thank you! TO MY MOTHER: This tree and its continued research is for my mother and her siblings, who were orphaned and separated by their mother,Daisy Little's untimely death in 1936. I dedicate this family tree and it's continued research to my Mother, Billie Jo Simpson and her only surviving sibling, Robert Vernon Simpson. I also dedicate this tree to my mothers deceased siblings, and their families: James Simpson (who died at 12 yrs of age), Ernest Simpson (Uncle Ernie), and Mary Ruth Simpson Gibson (Aunt Polly), Andrew Lewis Simpson (Uncle Lewis). |
