About George Simpson

GEORGE SIMPSON

Bogus Genealogy

At least one pedigree published by MyHeritage, probably more than one, claims that George Simpson, here treated, was the husband of Margaret Cargill. This is quite wrong, however. For example, Margaret Cargill and her husband had their first child born on 15 May 1768 and it is not possible that her husband is the man of the same name who is reported to have been born on 4 January 1759. It follows, therefore, that George Simpson, here treated, is not the same person as George Simpson, Fisherman at Newhaven of Ethie

The Question of Identity

George Simpson, here treated, is the eldest son of the Reverend Thomas Simpson, minister of the Gospel at Avoch in the Black Isle, and his second wife Isobel Mackenzie. He is reported to have been born on 4 January 1759, although the place of his birth is not mentioned in the Fasti account of his family. Fasti of the Church of Scotland VII: 2

George Simpson, here treated, has been identified as a writer at Dingwall in Ross and Cromarty, Scotland, and as the father of Sir George Simpson who was his bastard son, and is said to have been his only son. Red River Ancestry
