Note from Darrell Brown: Simon was born in Bucks County, PA. On September 27, 1721, he was married to Lawretha "Lowrey" Humphrey at Christ Church, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Simon built a house at Fallsington, PA, that is preserved in the Fallsington Historic District and is on the register of National Historic Places. (See photo.) In the 1740s Simon and his family moved to a new Quaker settlement in Frederick County, VA, now Berkeley Co, WV. There they belonged to the Hopewell Friends meeting. Sometime after February 1748, some say in November, Simon died at his farm in Arden. His wife Lowrey preceded him in death. The Quakers kept careful records, but the minute books for the years 1734-1759 were lost when a fire destroyed the home where they were kept. Simon and Lowrey are presumably buried at the Hopewell burial ground, with plain fieldstones marking the graves, as was the custom there at the time. Not long after Simon's death, two of his married daughters, Hannah Moon Brown and Margaret Moon Brown, moved with their husbands to help found a new Quaker settlement along the Cane Creek in "Orange County," NC, near what is now Snow Camp, Alamance County.
