The following web page is a facsimile of the "Alexander Simpson Genealogy", by Corrie May Arnold Rogers. The material, titled "Information on Six Related Families - Simpson, Brisson, Nickels and Others" was submitted, with "May A. Rogers" as the author, by Mrs. Jenny L. Dowling to the DAR, dated June 14, 1965, through the Capt. Wendell Wolfe Chapter. In this web version there are no hypertext links, so use your browser's "find" or "search" function, or scroll and read through the document. This historical document, appeared in the Laurens County S.C. Public Library with the author's name replaced by "Mary W. Monroe". Ms. Monroe's only other contribution, to the best of our knowledge, is the gravestone confirmation entry on page 6.

The "Alexander Simpson Genealogy" is a 28 page typewritten document.  This facsimile attempts to retain the author's numbering and order of the material and most of the data errors.  Some minor spelling and spacing errors, have been corrected.  The exact format is not maintained, although a "Look-a-like" version in today's wordprocessors with old style typewriter font can be prepared with limited effort.  You may obtain a copy for yourself from the Laurens County SC Library if you wish, to guide you in that project or to have a copy just to add to your own family tree materials. The library's copy may have Ms. Monroe's name shown as the author, rather than the true author, Corrie May Arnold Rogers.

This genealogy expands and picks up the Alexander and Elizabeth (Barre) Simpson lineage where the "Holmes" document leaves off. The "Holmes" document, "The Simpson Genealogy", posted on this same SCGenWeb site, emphasizes the descendants of the elder brother William Simpson and his wife Mary (Simpson) Simpson, and includes the first few generations of the younger brother John Simpson.  It also includes some of the descendants of Mary Simpson's sisters, Margaret (Simpson) McClintock, Elizabeth (Simpson) Wilson, and Nancy (Simpson) Fowler. As there were seven Simpsons in those first two Simpson families that came from Ireland, we have coined the term "The Simpson Seven" to distinguish them from other Simpsons who came to the U.S., and into S.C. in particular.

With respect to the way this document evolved, there is a strong clue that points to Holmes' earlier genealogy of the Simpson family.  Page 7 of Holmes' "The Simpson Genealogy" includes a brief look at his own story, and it says that he graduated from East Tennessee University in 1839.  Near the bottom of page 13 in this document you will see, "...when the author came to Carolina in 1839 or 1840..."  Holmes "...took a three year course at Theologic Seminary at Columbia, S. C.", and "Started to preach in Spartanburg County in 1842."  It appears quite likely that he was that author who came to Carolina in 1839 or 1840.  On page 1  a sentence ends with, "...according to the William Simpson Genealogy."  The entry may have been Holmes' own comment.  This would agree with a Hutchinson statement that, "A typewritten copy of this genealogy was presented to the author by Colonel Henry Young Simpson, also of Laurens, a great-grandson of William Simpson, elder brother of Alexander Simpson."

Then another person worked on the manuscript in 1927, as on page 20 you will find, "He is still living (1927)."  Richard Wright Simpson, who revised Holmes' "The Simpson Genealogy", died July 11, 1912.  W. W. Simpson, born in 1789, the uncle who "copied" "The Simpson Genealogy", would not have been there in 1927.  Now we believe the 1927 work was done by Corrie May Arnold Rogers, as her grandson, James (Jimmy) Rogers, attests that he helped type it when he was a teeanger, and he has a copy of the paperwork for submitting it to the Washington, D.C. office of the DAR. James says his grandmother was referring to her father, James Tolliver Arnold as still being alive in 1927. James also confirms that, other than the two appearances of Ms. Monroe's name and her statement of a gravestone confirmation on page 6,  the content of the document is the same as that which his grandmother had composed.

The first time we saw this document was when another Alexander descendant sent us a copy that she had obtained from the Laurens County SC Library. That copy had Ms. Monroe's name in place of Ms. Rogers' name as the author. Ms. Rogers' document, as is the case with almost any such documents, also has a number of typos or errors which can, we believe, be satisfactorily reconciled by reading through to the corresponding portions which reference the same individual. "Sam", for instance, may have one birthdate on one page and a different birthdate on another page. By reviewing the birthdates of Sam's siblings, the correct date seems obvious. Handwritten notes and corrections are shown in brackets, as in [ William ].  Where spelling is uncertain, it remains as in the original.

We respect and applaud the efforts of Corrie May Arnold Rogers, her grandson Jimmy Rogers, and all those who have contributed to this document. Other descendents of Alexander Simpson have reconciled several problems found in the "Alexander Simpson Genealogy". This is not an official document, as are birth certificates, wills, etc. This document and similar ones such as Holmes' "The Simpson Genealogy" should be viewed as something close to but sometimes less than the accuracy of the old family Bible records. Perhaps we should spend more time looking there for what we seek!

The following material has been copied from various sources. Some data have been verified; some corrected. THIS WORK IS FAR FROM BEING COMPLETE.

However, knowing that some people must start "from scratch" like I had to do, this material, incomplete though it may be, is being placed in the Laurens County Library.
 
 

Alexander Simpson, brother of William Simpson (who married Mary Simpson), was born in County Antrim, Ireland, about the year 1731, being two years younger than his brother William. He was married in Ireland about 1778 to Elizabeth Barre, supposed by some to have been in an adjoining county, but of whose ancestry or precise nativity, nothing certain is known. Alexander Simpson died in 1811 (according to the William Simpson Genealogy).

Sometime between the years 1782-89 he emigrated with his children three or four in number to Laurens District, South Carolina, accompanied by his younger brother John. They all found a temporary home at the house of his elder brother William, who had preceeded him to this country some sixteen [ 1770 ] or eighteen years. He afterward procured a home of his own in the same neighborhood, viz: the lower part of Laurens District, South Carolina. Here they raised, including those already born in Ireland, a numerous family of children, the descendants of which are still, many of them, living in this district, where they first settled. Some have scattered to other counties. The following were their children:

   1. Mary Simpson - born June 1779 - Married July 18, 1803 James Henderson [ Hutchinson ]
   2. Margaret Simpson - Born 1780 - Married Franklin [ Francis ] Glenn

While watching horses in the pasture during his youth, this Jas. Hutchinson took cold from wet and exposure and, from the effects of it he became a cripple for life and had to always use crutches. Besides farming he became a school teacher and an elder in the Warren Creek Presbyterian Church with his compeers, John McClintock and Sammuel Mill. He resided a little to the left of Sandy Fork Road in the Northern part of Laurens District, South Carolina. He died June 9, 1845 and his wife November 12, 1851 and were both interred in the cemetery at Rocky Springs Presbyterian Church.

Todd of Laurens District, South Carolina.

Mary Ross was born March 11, 1777 and married first William McCollough, brother of Joe McCollough. By him she had one son, David McCollough, who went to Texas. Mrs. McCollough's husband, having had occasion to return to Ireland on business, prolonged his stay for seven years, during the latter part of which time he sent no intelligence of his where-abouts or intentions. The belief gradually surpassed all doubt that he had no intention of returning and finally, supposing him to be dead, she was induced to marry John Barre Simpson. Not long after this event, Mr. McCollough, her former husband, returned and demanded his wife. Mr. Simpson generously proposed to leave the matter to the lady. And though a source of great pain and mortification to her and of some strife among parties and distraction in the church of which they were members, she unhesitatingly remained with Mr. Simpson, her last spouse. Down to the day of her death, which occurred July 30, 1861, she was familiarly known as "Old Aunt Molly Simpson", a most earnest and consecrated Christian and a

member of the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Simpson was also a member. He died February 17, 1855. They left the following children:

   27. Alexander Ross Simpson, born Nov. 21, 1805. Unmarried. For many years he was the superintendant and agent of the Spartanburg Hurricane Iron Works. He was a prompt business man and executor of his father's estate.
