General Notes: Husband - Jacob Simpson

---

When young men, he and his brother, Robert, 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 Jacob moved to Bedford County, and then to Washington County in 1820.
