I am searching for information on Solomon Simpson's family, who died in 1785 in Botetourt Co., m. Margaret Elliot with children Solomon b. 1770 & Elizabeth m. Thomas Otey. Solomon Jr. m. Elizabeth Lantern March 21, 1793 and he d. 1859. Their children: Fanny b. 1793; Sarah "Sally" b. 1795 m. 1) Harrison Hipes, 2) James McNeal; John Simpson m. Hannah Evans; Solomon b. 1798 m. Mary Black; Thomas b. 1799 m. Paulina; Levi b. 1809 m. Julia Ann; Samuel b. 1810 - 1820 m. Lavina Bedin. I was told that my Henry Simpson was related to this family by a descendent of Samuel. Henry was b. 1806 in VA according to 1870 & 1880 Greene Co.,TN census. I have traced land Henry sold in 1831 (no record of his buying it) to a John Simpson who bought the land in 1797 from William Galbreath, who received it as a NC Land Grant in 1795. Any light you can shed on the Solomon Simpson Family and the connection to my Henry Simpson will be most welcome. Or if you only have information on Solomon's family, I will be happy to share the rest of the information on this family also. Barbara Simpson Baker
