Hi! Katherine Ann GOFF was born in 1875, so if Ben SIMPSON was close to her age, he would have been born around that time and could have been a descendant of one of your Simpsons. Possibly he would show up in Census records? I think Ella SIMPSON married Ray CABEZUT and has descendants in Mariposa or Merced counties. Maybe some of the locals have information about the family tree?
