William Simpson is my 5th great grandfather.
My great-aunt's research tells me that he married Martha Orr is North Ireland about 1770. They had 3 children in Ireland (John, Elizabeth, and James). Shortly before the Revolutionary War, they immigrated to America and landed in Charleston, SC. and moved from there into what was then Mecklenburg County, NC and is now Union County NC. The had seven more children ( Mary, David, Margaret, Thomas, Jane, William,
Pattie and Robert) William served as a soldier in the Revolutionary War in Camden SC where Gen. Gates was defeated.

I am descended from their son James Simpson, (married to Hannah Weddington 1805) and their son, James B.Simpson(married to Rhoda Williams 1846)and their son John C. Simpson(married to Martha Clontz- date unknown) and their son Reece Johnson Simpson (married to Sarah Frances Rowell)and their son, Roy Adam Simpson (married to Pearl Louise Richardson)
and their daughter, my mother, Frances Louise Simpson Honeycutt.

I would appreciate any information regarding my family.

Sincere thanks,
Joyce Honeycutt Holman
