Genealogy

Simpson's ethnic background is primarily English. She also has Scottish ancestry and, more distantly (in the 1600s), German and Swiss-German ancestry.

Before arriving in Texas in the 1800s, Simpson's ancestors lived in other parts of the U.S. South, particularly South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama. She is at least a sixth-generation Texan.

In 2009, Simpson states through a representative that she is 1/16th Native American on her mother's side. Genealogists have not been able to confirm this through records.
