I'm glad that you enjoyed this website, I also found this very interesting reading. My 6th great grandfather Johannes Adam was an early German settler in Rowan County, NC, he was the first potter in the state of North Carolina.

Linda, I have a marriage for bride Mary Adams and groom Henry Simpson, dated 7 Oct 1837, Orange County, with bondsman Jacob O. Hurdle, witness J Taylor. By chance, is this part of your "Adam" line? I have interests in the Adams, Simpson and Hurdle families of Orange County, particularly during the period 1800-1850. I have not been able to get very far with these names, and would appreciate hearing from anyone with information to share. My Samuel Simpson arrived in Orange County ca 1796, was a schoolmaster, Revolutionary War veteran, and I have a grerat deal of information about his immediate family, but need to go further. Henry may have been his grandson, but I can't prove it....

Carl, I, too am very interested in the Simpson line in Orange County now considered Alamance. My husband line starts with Lemeul Simpson born in 1796 and died in Alamance in 1881. He had many children. We are assuming Lemuel's father was Benjamin Swain Simpson whose father is Samuel Simpson of whom you are talking about. We have not been able to prove the Benjamin Swain connection to Lemeul and would love to know more. Please let me know what connections if any you might have.

Shauna, Lemuel William Simpson was born April 12, 1794, in Edenton Township, Chowan County, NC, and died October 29, 1881 in Altamahaw Twp., Alamance County. He is buried at The Gilliam Primitive Baptist Church. He married Lucy Faucett on December 17, 1816 in Orange County, bondsman Thomas Gore. Lemuel is the son of Benjamin Swain Simpson, the first born son of Samuel Simpson and Mary Swain. Benjamin Swain Simpson was born July 9, 1769, and moved with his family to that part of Orange County which became Alamance. Samuel was a veteran of the Revolutionary War, and was said to be a schoolmaster. His son Luke went before the court of pleas and sessions in Orange County in 1844 on behalf of his siblings to benefit from Samuel's pension and land bounty for service in the War. >From land grant records of Perquimans County, I have found that Samuel had a brother Benjamin Jr., and that their father was named Benjamin as well. In Samuel's Revolutionay War pension file, there were three pages from an old Scottish catechism on which were written the names and birthdays of several of Samuel's children, including Benjamin Swain, his first born son. Do you have anything on Henry Simpson, or any of Luke Simpson's early children? Luke was a younger brother of Benjamin Swain. Hope this helps... ----- Original Message ----- From: "shauna" <ssimpson@oasisbb.net> To: <ncorange@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2007 8:30 PM Subject: Re: [NCORANGE] Germans of Orange & Alamance Simpson > Carl, > > I, too am very interested in the Simpson line in Orange County now > considered Alamance.
