Nancy Simpson^1,2,3

• Father*: William Simpson b. 1774
• Mother*: Harriet Benedict b. c 1786, d. 1851

• Birth*: 1813; Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co., Upper Canada; Date 1813 & location Cda. per 1880 Census. Date 1813 & location Ont. per 1870 US Fed Census. Date 1813 & location Cda. per 1860 US Fed Census. Date 1812 & location Cda. per 1851 Census. per IGI Record. Date c. 1813 & location Cda. per family tree of Carole Alden on ancestry.ca, Nov 22 2021.
  Note: While researching the Breakaway story in the fall of 2021 I had reviewed the info re William Simpson and Harriet Benedict and seen that the census records suggest that there were several daughters in that family which we do not have documented. Then, while researching the John Alley family, which in 1852 lived on Conc 5, Lot 24 (Friends Metting Hosue and Cemetery), I saw the 1860 US Federal Census record showing William Simpson, age 88, living with them at Grand Rapids, Michigan. The family tree of Carole Alden on ancestry.ca showed the wife of John Alley, Nancy, to be Nancy Simpson. It follows that Nancy is one more of the undocumented daughters of William Simpson.

  Note: Ages and birth dates are all over the place for this person. The Death Registration gave her age as 73y 6m 18d at Nov 12 1927, which works out to Apr 25 1854, but she was in the 1851 Census, age 2, so the 1854 year is not feasible.
