Simpson Family. It is known from records that before the Rev., Samuel
Simpson resided in Abington and a few years later there was a Benjamin
Simpson, who was probably his son. John Simpson, the great-grandfather
of Gen. Grant, was a tax collector in Horsham in 1776. For several
reasons we believe that the latter was the son of Samuel Simpson, of
Abington, as probably the first ancestor of this family in this country.
It has been stated that this family is Scot-Irish

John Simpson is said to have married Rebecca Weir, He was probably
married in 1793, for his eldest daughter, Mary, was born in 1795 and
Hannah, the mother of Gen. Grant, in Nov 1797. His son Samuel was still
living,at a very advance age in the spring of 1883 near Batom, Ohio.
John Simpson Jr., moved to Bethel, Clermont Co, Ohio, he died Aug 20,
1837 in his 70th year His daughter Mary married James Griffith in 1818.
Hanah married June 24, 1820, to Jesse Root Grant, who was the son of
Noah Grant, who was born in Westmoreland Co, Jan 23, 1794.

Best Wishes, Geri
