General Notes: Husband - Andrew Simpson


He suffered all the trials of frontier life in the French and Indian wars, and the Revolution, and he, with his brother James and the brothers White, served for several years as scouts. He and the Whites removed at an early date to the vicinity of what is now Blairsville, and built a block-house and stockade. They remained there for several years. He was killed by the Indians near the mouth of Black-lick while going to warn a settlement below, of danger. John White was with him, but escaped with a broken arm. [HIC 1880, 452]
