THE EVIDENCE & BIOGRAPHICAL
NARRATIVES
BACKGROUND:
JOHN SIMPSON (ca.
1660’s – 1708) of Charles
County , Maryland .
The progenitor of the Gilbert Simpsons featured
in this research paper is a rather obscure individual named John Simpson who
lived in Charles County, Maryland in the latter half of the seventeenth century
and the beginning of the eighteenth century.
He lived in the same vicinity as Thomas Simpson and was of the same
generation to have been his son.
However, existing records do not provide the required proof. He was probably an adult by the 1680’s but
does not appear in the records until 1694.
Little is known of his personal life due to the paucity of public
records in which he is mentioned. Research is complicated by the fact that there
were two John Simpsons living in the same area of Charles County
between 1694 and 1725. However, the
records are basically sequential, separated by the death of the elder John in
1708.

[49]
Author’s Footnote: I checked the following sources in a vain effort to find a primary
source reference of John Simpson being brought from England by
Augustine Washington :
(1). Bryan Allison’s deposition of 1786. [This was the first cited source in
Moxham’s book following the reference to John Simpson immigrating from England ]. (2.)
Bryan Allison’s deposition of 1748. (3).
The actual records of the Principio Iron Works in the Virginia State Library in
Richmond . [As part owner in that enterprise, Augustine Washington had gone to England in that
capacity in 1736]. (4). The
comprehensive historical sketch of the Principio Company by William G. Whitely
in the Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography (1887). (5). The complete resources at the library on
the Mount Vernon
estate. (6). I cross-referenced Swem’s
index of the primary and secondary source references looking for a single page
mentioning both Augustine Washington and John Simpson. [ In this manner, the
Virginia State Papers, Henings Statutes, Tyler ’s
Quarterly, Virginia Historical Register, the Virginia Magazine of History and
Biography, and the William and Mary Quarterly, Series 1 & 2 were eliminated
as possible sources]. (7). The 22 July, 1737 edition of
the Virginia Gazette covering Augustine Washington ’s
arrival from England . (8). The Julihn Genealogy by C. E. Julihn
which includes a chronology of significant facts in the life of Augustine Washington . (9). Douglas Southall Freeman’s 7 volume
authoritative biography of George Washington. [Augustine Washington ’s trip to England was
covered but there was no mention of John Simpson]. To summarize; none of
these sources mentioned Augustine Washington
bringing John Simpson from England
to be his overseer.

The Papers of George Washington and specifically, George Washington’s personal
ledger account books A and B, provide conclusive proof that Gilbert Simpson (of
Pohick) was the son of Gilbert Simpson of Clifton Neck. Washington
was acquainted with and had business dealings with all three Gilbert Simpsons
and with Violinda Payne, Gilbert, Sr.’s daughter. The various account entries for Gilbert
Simpson, Jr. through the years 1760 to 1786 give his residence as “Fairfax” and “Pohick”. Moreover, in his
final transaction dated 21
November, 1786 , Gilbert states his residence as “Truro
Parish”. This transaction involves
the sale of the Clifton
lease back to Washington
and makes reference to Gilbert’s father who rented the property on Clifton
Neck. At this time, the other Gilbert
Simpson was already settled in Kentucky . Finally, a comparison of the signature on
the 1786 document with seventeen samples of Gilbert (Washington ’s partner) provides additional
proof. This evidence was analyzed and
presented in detail in the research paper by Robert C. Neibling in 1999
(Revised 2001) entitled Profiles of the Three Gilbert Simpson of Eighteenth
Century Fairfax County, Virginia and published in Northern Virginia Genealogy,
Volume 7, 2002.

The source for Thomas’s biographical family record is a letter written by his
son-in-law, William E. Lane
on 18 October, 1886
and published in Early Life and Times in Boone
County , Indiana by
Harden and Spahn , Lebanon , Indiana, 1887, pages
109-116. Rationale for thinking this
Thomas was the son of Gilbert and Tamer is:
(1). This Thomas had a son named Gilbert (born 23 January, 1799 ) and a
daughter named Tamer, (born 15 January, 1789 ), (2). Thomas’s date of birth coincides
with the likely age of Gilbert’s eldest son and is the exact date given to
Thomas by many of Gilbert’s descendants, (3). The will of Aaron Moore, Thomas’s
father-in-law, was proved in Fayette
County , Pennsylvania
in 1785 where Gilbert was managing Washington ’s
mill. The 1785 Personal Property Tax
List for Fayette County , PA confirms Gilbert Simpson in Franklin Township and
Aaron Moore in Springhill
Township . Thomas and Abigail were married the year
before, presumably in Fayette
County , since the parents
of both were living there at the time, and (4). Thomas Simpson’s daughter,
Mary, married Thomas
Shore , who is alleged by
some genealogists to be a son of Richard and Susannah (Simpson) Shore. This is indicative of a family connection
between two siblings of Gilbert and Tamer (Johnston ) Simpson.

Gilbert Simpson is listed on the 1785 Personal Property Tax List in Franklin Township and Aaron Moore in Springhill Township , Fayette County , Pennsylvania . Aaron’s children continue to be listed on the

authored his detailed letter documenting his life and that of his wife and
their parents. In doing so, he provided
a valuable service to Simpson and Lane descendants by recording events which
would otherwise have been lost to history.
However, due to the frailties of age or errors in fact, Mr. Lane was wrong
about at least one statement in his letter.
He states that Thomas had only one brother, John, who was the maternal
grandmother of General and President, Ulysses Simpson Grant. This allegation is contradicted by other
known facts in the documented ancestry of President Grant).

of the estate of John Simpson dated 13
May, 1815 in which he mentions slaves Phillip and Jane who were bequeathed to
John in his father’s will. (Note: This inventory confirms that this John
was the son of Gilbert. Another John
Simpson was closely associated with Thomas Simpson in Nelson County
as early as 1776 and they could easily be confused as brothers. He was apparently the John Simpson who made
his will in Washington County ,
Kentucky on 25 November, 1812 ; proved 8 March, 1813 . In his will he mentions wife, Mary; son:
James; daughters: Esther McElroy, Jane Simpson, Peggy Simpson. While his identity has not been researched
for this publication, with a son named James and a daughter, Jane, it is likely
that he was the son of the James Simpson who died in Fayette County
in 1793 leaving a widow, Jane. A John
Simpson was one of the executors of his estate.

Note: In William Swink’s will he mentions his daughter, Catherine Simpson. She was born ca. 1769. Joseph Simpson lived nearby and had sons,
Thomas, born ca. 1766 and George, born ca. 1768. William and Joseph had both moved from Pr.
George’s Co. , MD to Fairfax Co., VA about the
same time and settled near each other.
Their children were undoubtedly raised as friends and neighbors and this
evidence indicates Catherine married a son of Joseph even though no marriage
record has been found. Catherine’s
husband was probably either Thomas or George, who were near the same age as
Catherine.

William is mentioned as the oldest son of Thomas Simpson in his will dated 13 October, 1734 and
living on the 123 acres that he was bequeathed.

The Implied Marriages of Fairfax County, Virginia by Marty Hiatt and Craig
Robertson, 1994 cited primary source Fairfax County Will Book J1, pages 266-268
provides the entry: “Simpson, John & Ann
Nancy Wagener, daughter of Peter and Sinah Wagener”. However, a review of the actual will of
Sinah Wagener lists her children as Sinah B. Morton, Mary E. Beal, Ann M.
Simpson, Sarah C. Redd, and Peter Wagener and in a follow-on court case
contesting the will, the wife of John Simpson and daughter of Sinah Wagener is
named, Nancy . Fairfax County Deed Books UU, page 68 and
AAA, page 303-304 give the name of John’s widow as Sarah Y. These primary
source records indicate that John was married twice: first to Ann Nancy Wagener
and second to his sister-in-law, Sarah Y. ________, widow and administrix of
estate of Peter Wagener, Jr. Family
information from Betty Schwalm identifies this second wife as Sarah (Young)
Morgan Wagoner. (Reference: Implied Marriages, page 199 & Fairfax County
