Simpson, John, 1740-1811
John Simpson was born in 10 month 23, 1739 (old style), and his parents, members of the Society of Friends, settled in the verge of Buckingham Monthly Meeting when he was an infant. He married Ruth Whitson and around 1764 was recognized as a minister. Ruth died in 1803, and he married second Ann Ingham. He traveled widely in the ministry throughout the United States, moving to Ohio in 1809. In 1810, he requested a certificate of transfer from Falls Monthly Meeting to West Branch, Ohio. A letter dated 1810, 9mo, 2, informs his son David that they are living in a cabin near West Branch Meeting and the lot he purchased.
