General Notes: Husband - Peter B. Simpson

---

He was born near Dundee, Scotland, and during the War of 1812, when about seventeen years of age, first came to America in the British service. When the war was over he returned to his native land, but in 1833, accompanied by two brothers, he sought a home in the New World, and purchased 300 acres of land in Farmington township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania. In 1883 [sic] he sent to Scotland for his wife and family, and brought them to his new home in the midst of the wilderness. His first log cabin he replaced by a more commodious hewed-log house, and made many substantial improvements to his farm. In religious belief they were strict Presbyterians, and they gave liberally to all Church or benevolent work. Mr. Simpson was called upon to fill a number of responsible official positions. For two terms he served as county commissioner, was county auditor several terms, justice of the peace a number of years, and filled all the township offices.
