Hi All: I'm looking for info about Alice C. Baggett and William H. Simpson. According to family myth, she was born in Arizona on a wagon train from Arkansas, c1850. The family ended up in Mariposa, CA and the parents(names and particulars unknown)both died. Instead of being sent back to wherever she came from, a woman named Cathey (pronounced by my elders as "Cathay") in Cathey's Valley, CA. raised her. Alice married a Mariposa man, William H. Simpson, in 1869 and died in the Bay Area in 1886. Extra clues: 1. a man named Andrew Dever Cathey lead a wagon train from Benton and Collegeville, Arkansas to California c1852. 2. Alice named her only son Russell McCaskill Simpson, so there may be a McCaskill connection, too. Thanks for the help! Marie Mullan
