Notes |
- The children for this family are taken from the Simpson history (S160) and the 1850 and 1860 censuses. There are some apparent discrepancies. The major one is Hugh Stone, who the Simpson history records as being born in 1825, but the 1850 and 1860 censuses show as being born abt. 1837 (barring any source listed in S160, I go with the census).
The Simpson history gives the children as:
Frances (died as infant)
Ann Eliza, b. 1822
Hugh Stone, b. 1825
William Hamilton, b. Oct. 6, 1825 (died young)
Ferdinand Arthur
Mary Ellen
Joseph Thomas, b. Mar. 12, 1831
John Francis
Alfred Eliphalet
Elmina (died young)
The 1850 census gives:
Hugh Rogers, aged 51
Mary, aged 47
Ann Whitacre, aged 28 (no husband evident)
William H. Rogers, aged 24
F.A., (male), aged 17
Hugh, aged 13
Jno. F, aged 10
Martha E. Rogers, aged 8
Alfred D., aged 4
Mary L., aged 2
William P. Whitacre, aged 9
The 1860 census has the family in Cooper Co., Missouri, without Polly Simpson. The 1860 census is also very specific in sayin that Ferdinand, Hugh, and John F. are born in Ohio, while Alfred E. and Molly are born in Virginia, so I assume that these birth places are correct.
