General Notes: Husband - Robert Simpson

---

When young men, he and his brother, Jacob, left Londonderry, Ireland, to seek their fortunes on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. They landed in Chester County, Pennsylvania, in 1790, when they separated and it is doubtful if they ever met again. In those early days transportation was difficult and mails were uncertain, hence communication between the brothers was infrequent. Robert settled in Lancaster County, but hearing that his brother Jacob had moved to Bedford County, he also moved there in 1822, but only to find that Jacob had moved to Washington County in 1820. Perhaps at this time Robert Simpson was in failing health, as he died in 1824, at McConnellsburg, now the county seat of Fulton County, and possibly this was one reason that he sought to re-establish fraternal relations.
