Thomas Simpson Jr.1
M, b. circa 1686, d. February 1728
| Father | Thomas Simpson Sr. b. c 1660, d. Jan 1726 | |
| Mother | (-----) (-----) b. c 1660 |
| Last Edited | 19 Jun 2014 |
| Birth* | circa 1686 | Thomas was born circa 1686 at Accomack Co, VA. |
| Marriage* | circa 1720 | He married Rhoda 'Rhody' Clark (Clark? circa 1720.2 |
| Land bought* | 1723 | Thomas bought land in 1723 at Accomack Co, VA. He bought 200 acres of Whitelaw's tract A105, which is just south of the present town of Parksley, from Peter Cornelius. In 1751, Thomas Simpson, son of William (brother of Thomas Jr.), gave a quitclaim deed to Southy Simpson, son of Thomas (Jr.) The deed stated that their fathers William and Thomas (Jr.) had bought the 200 acres jointly from Peter Cornelius, but that the deed had been made out to Thomas Simpson (Jr.) alone, and that he had died before a division had been made with his brother William. The latter had brought suit for such a division against Southy, son and heir of Thomas (Jr.), but William also had died before any settlement was made. The cousins now made an agreement, and Thomas released to Southy any interest in the land he might have inherited..3 |
| Will - Father's* | 6 January 1726 | Thomas was named in his father's will on 6 January 1726 at Accomack Co, VA.1 |
| Death* | February 1728 | Thomas died in February 1728.2 |
| Anecdote* | He (wife Rhody) died intestate, leaving a son Southy as heir-at-law, and the widow married Peter Parker Copes. In 1755 Southy and wife Comfort Simpson sold 220 acres of the Thomas Simpson Jr. part of Whitelaw's tract A104 to John Dix, Jr., who at the same time sold an inheritance from tract A103 to Simpson, so the two sales were in the nature of an exchange. In 1756 John and Leah Dix sold 100 acres to Mack Williams Wright, it being the eastern end of John's land, including the strip extending to the highway, so he apparently had settled on the western part.4 | |
| Admin of estate* | 6 March 1728 | Administration of Thomas's estate was filed on 6 March 1728 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that Rhody Simpson was named to administer his estate.2 |

| Was Living | 27 January 1741 | John was living on 27 January 1741 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that he and Mason Abbott were the securities on the administration of the estate of William Taylor to his widow Mary Taylor..4 |
| Will* | 23 December 1741 | He made a will on 23 December 1741 at Accomack Co, VA. To wife Mary. To son Thomas Simpson plantation and marsh where I now live being 442 acres reserving his mother's thirds. To daughter Sinah Simpson, daughter Mary and Ann (wife Mary mother of all the children). Wife and children residual legatees. Wife executrix. Witnessess were Southy Rew, Job Haddersick, and William Riley..5 |
| Death* | 1742 | John died in 1742.6 |
| Anecdote* | He (wife Mary) left 330 acres from Whitelaw's tract A104 ((ITAL:)John Simpson Part(:ITAL)) that he had inherited from his father Thomas Simpson Sr. and other lands in the vicinity to his son Thomas; according to his father's will he had inherited 200 acres, and is known to have bought 60 acres from tract A117, which leaves 70 acres unaccounted for. In 1760 his son Thomas left to his sisters Siner, Mary and Ann, who married respectively Ralph Justice, Charles Bayly and Thomas W. Rodgers; the land was divided by cross lines parallel to the north line of the tract, the Baylys getting the north strip, the Rodgers the middle and the Justices the one next to the John Dix land. (ITAL:)Mary Bayly Part(:ITAL): In 1765 Mary Bayly and her husband Charles sold her third to Thomas W. Rodgers. After his death, his widow Ann married Jonathan West and in 1770 the Wests sold this original Bayly part to Charles West, who in 1794, with his wife Anne, sold as 104 acres to Charles Rew. ((ITAL:)Ann Rodgers Part(:ITAL)): In 1792 Ann West, as widow of her second husband Jonathan West, sold her own inherited 104 acres to Southy Simpson, who had married her daughter Hannah Rodgers; another daughter, Polly Rodgers, was living on the property, so perhaps what Ann intended to convey was only her life interest in half of it. In 1794 the Simpsons sold to the Overseers of the Poor, the deed stating that they were selling only half of the land; no deed from Polly Rodgers was ever found, but all of this part eventually was owned by the Overseers. ((ITAL:)Sinah Justice Part(:ITAL)): After the deaths of Sinah and Ralph Justice, the title to this part passed to a son William, who in 1805 with his wife Sarah sold their 104 acres to the Overseers "for the use and support of the poor house which has been erected in this county." The Overseers thus owned 208 acres, and while it is not now owned by the county, no disposition of it was ever found.7 | |

| Biography* | 1685 | There is no direct proof that Samuel was the son of Thomas Simpson Sr. as he was not named in Thomas' will of 6 Jan 1725/6. However, one explanation for not being named in his father will this is that Samuel, through his marriage to Sarah, daughter of Peter Parker, had previously acquired land in a division of Peter Parker's estate in 1710. Samuel's inherited land was in the immediate vicinity of his father's land and adjoining the tracts of his assumed brothers. See Whitelaw's tracts A95, A103 and A104. |
| Marriage* | circa 1710 | He married Sarah Parker, daughter of Peter Parker and Winefred Taylor, circa 1710. As a result of his marriage to Sarah, daughter of Peter Parker, Samuel Simpson acquired a portion of Whitelaw's tract A95, which is adjacent to and on the south side of A103, which is in turn adjacent to and on the east side of A104. Thomas Simpson, Sr. and most of the other Simpson of the 1700's were living on or near these two tracts. Samuel's portion succeeded to a son Laban in 1760, who seven years later (wife Esther Barnes of William) left to his son Hancock Simpson..1 |

Whereas William Parker, Mary Selby formerly Mary Parker, together with her husband Daniel Selby did by a deed dated 19 Sep 1693 did set over to Elizabeth Parker, Mary Parker, Rachel Parker and Sarah Parker, daughters of Peter Parker dec'd, 333 acres on the seaboard side bounded by a fork of Naswatux Creek & southerly on a branch of said creek which devides between William Parkers dwelling plantation and the said land, northerly bounded by another branch of said creek which divides between the land which belonged to Issack Dix dec'd and the said 333 acres westerly running up in the woods as far as the 333 acres of land shall extend.

And Sebastian Croper & Rachel his wife having sold their quarter part to Giles Copes which gives him one half of the said land. The 3 remaining owners now agree to to divide the said land by meets and bounds, with one half to Giles Copes & the other one half to Thomas Copes & Samuel Simson.

It was on this date that he was named, along with Henry Custis and the wife of Thomas Copes, as executor of the estate of Thomas Copes. The will indicates that Samuel Simpson has a 'now wife' Sarah, but does not state that Sarah is a daughter of Thomas Copes. Copes leaves clothes that belonged to a deceased daughter Mary to Sarah Simpson. Whitelaw, p. 1064, reveals that Mary Copes and Sarah Simpson were sisters.3 |

(Acc Co Inventories &c, 1828-1830, p 273, recorded 27 Oct 1828) Thomas Watson gave Jno. W. Watson as his security. Selected other buyers were Walter Finney, Seth Bell, James H. Dix, Jno. R. Wise & Thos. V. Colona. At settlement it was noted: That a load of goods was bought from J.W. Watson's to the ware house & a horse & cart & Negro man; John M. Watson was paid for appraising & writing; Expenses in attending and taking the deposition of Frances West in Philadelphia. (NOTES: Administration on Tabitha Watson's estate was granted to James H. Dix on 30 Oct 1826 with Levi Dix, John Y. Bagwell & Richard L. Rew securities. She may have been the Tabitha Dix that married John Watson of Israel on 21 Sep 1809 when Hancock Simpson was security on their M.L.B. I can't find an Israel Watson in any records so far. That may be a typo in Turman's marriage book. John W. Watson married Betsy Selby Simpson in 1806 and had a son Thomas Watson born circa 1808. They were probably the Jno. W. & Thomas Watson shown above. The Thos V. Colona shown in the inventory above was Thomas Virgil Colonna, son of William Colonna and his wife Elizabeth Watson, as shown in Hacks Neck and Its People, p. 113 - Colonna family.) |
