Just thought some of you might find this interesting. About 2 weeks before my gr-gr-gr-gr grandfather died he changed his will and gave his land to his sons. He basically cut his daughters out of his will. They daughters got together and filed an opposition to his will. There were quite a few people who were called to testify. I have the 30+ page opposition. The following people either testified or were mentioned. If you are interested I am willing to share info. They generally talked about their relationship with my ancestor, John Simpson. Please excuse the spelling of some of these names but it was hard to read the hand writing at times. Testified: Arnold Tift - husband of Emeline Simpson Martin Hoyt. - husband of Harriet Simpson Perry Eldred Ismail Gardner Harry Patterson Palmer Shrives Silas Wilcox - physician Catherine Rice of Troy. Her sister, Margaret (of Hoosick), was John's second wife. Benjamin Sweet John R. Simpson Clark Simpson Milo Simpson Jacob Harbour J. Oscar Joslin James D. Helling or Hilling Augustus Sampson Marshall F. White Sebastian Wagor? mentioned : Angeline Simpson Maria Simpson Benjamin Quackenbush (regarding location of John Simpson's property) If anyone has any info on John Simpson or his son Clark, please let me know. John's first wife was Phebe Card of Pownal, VT. I am stuck on this line. I can't find any mention of John's parents. John was born in St Johns, Canada about 1785 and came to Hoosick at an early age. A John Simpson appears in Hoosick in 1790 (his father?) Timothy D. Simpson
