Benedict Simpson, his paternal grandfather, was born and always lived in the State of Maryland. He was twice married and raised a large family of children. James Simpson, father of our subject, was born, reared and married in Maryland. About the year 1812 he and family, for he had then six children, immigrated to Kentucky and settled in Washington County, where he lived until his death, which occurred in his ninety-second year. For several years after locating in Kentucky he followed house carpentering, but later commenced farming, in which he was engaged when he died.

December 20, 1847, he was united in marriage with Theresa Carrico, by whom he is the father of two children: Eliza (who has taken the veil) and Sarah. Mr. Simpson was a farmer, and has always pursued that vocation with great success; he now owns 300 acres of improved land. He and family are members of the Catholic Church. In politics he has always been a Democrat. KYBIOGRAPHIES Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index?list=kybiographies KYRESEARCH Archives:http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index?list=kyresearch
