What do you think the chances are that these [Amos & Levina] are the parents of Lavinia Simpson who married Hugh Evans: The following comes from The Simpsons of early Anne Arundel Co., Maryland <http://simpsongenealogy.blogspot.com/2009/11/simpsons-of-early-anne-arundel-co.html> The Simpsons of early Anne Arundel Co., MD Oct., 2009 -- Donald R. Simpson http://simpsongenealogy.blogspot.com/2009/11/simpsons-of-early-anne-arundel-co.html B. Amos Simpson, b. 09 Dec., 1690; d. about 1748; married 1st 24 April, 1716, at All Hallows Parish, Elizabeth Duval; married 2nd by 1725, Levina Reynolds, daughter of Thomas & Elizabeth Reynolds. The record mentioned above listing the orphan children of Thomas & Elizabeth Simpson indicates that at the time of that record (15 Aug., 1710?) Amos was still not "of age," i.e. still not 21 years old. This would suggest that he was born after 1688 at the earliest, and possibly no earlier than 1690 if that record was actually made in Aug.,1711. If born in 1690 he would have been about 25 when married to his first wife. Some authors have claimed that Amos' first wife, Elizabeth Duval, was the Elizabeth (Jones) Duval, widow of John Duval. [see for instance Donna Valley Russell's "First Families of Anne Arundel County, Maryland, 1649 - 1658, vol 2: The Headrights," where on page 42 she states that John Duvall, the son of Maureen Duvall, was married to Elizabeth Jones, daughter of William Jones of South River, and that Elizabeth married second on 24 April, 1716, Amos Simpson. In the same work on page 83, Donna states that William Jones sold on 17 August, 1689, to "John and [daughter] Elizabeth Duvall a tract of land between South and Severn Rivers."] If John Duval & Elizabeth Jones were already married by 1689, then Elizabeth must have been at least 18 years old (born ca. 1661) and may have been older. She would have been at least 55 years old when married to Amos Simpson and it seems unlikely she could have been the same Elizabeth Duval who married Amos Simpson. However, lacking any evidence of Elizabeth's age the Elizabeth Duval who married Amos Simpson remains an uncertainty. Among the deed records of Anne Arundel County there is one dated 02 April, 1725, & recorded 13 May, 1725, from Thomas E. Reynolds & wife, Eliza Reynolds, of Anne Arundel County to "our loving son-in-law Amos Simpson and loving daughter Levina Simpson" of the said county. This was for a two hundred & ten acre tract called "Amoses Choice," taken out of an eight hundred thirty acre tract called "Food Plenty." In Abstracts of the Inventories of the Prerogative Court, Libers 37 - 47, 1748 -1751, by V. L. Skinner, Jr., on page 24 is listed an inventory for the Estate of Amos Symson of Anne Arundel County, made Dec. 17, 1748, & filed with the Court, Dec., 19, 1748, by the Administrator, Amos Simpson [Jr.], and mentioning Thomas Sympson, Charles Sympson, Lydia Stringer, & D. Dulany attorney for Mr. William Hunt. Mr. Hunt was a merchant in the local Village of Londontown on the South River.

The dates for Amos Simpson and Levina Reynolds and daughter, wife of Hugh Evans certainly encourage me . Keep me informed about any more info in this family line. My greatgrandfather was Amos and my great greatgrandfather was Simpson so the names are very important to me. ll Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God---. > Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2010 16:46:49 -0500 > From: listadministratorevans@earthlink.net > To: evans-richard@rootsweb.com > Subject: [EVANS-RICHARD] Are Amos Simpson and Levina Reynolds the parents of Levina/Lavinia Simpson, wife of Hugh Evans?????

Good point, Suzanne! Those names certainly do repeat over and over among the descendants. Plus Lavinia and Levina.. Amos - Simpson - Lavina, Lavinia.... I count 7 Amoses [with a couple Amos Simpsons, one Hugh Simpson], 4 Lavinas/ or Lavinias, Sure seems likely Renee On 9/10/10Friday 9:06 PM, Suzanne H wrote: > The dates for Amos Simpson and Levina Reynolds and daughter, wife of Hugh Evans certainly encourage me .
