    NOTE : Down the street , in Dw# 168 , is Francis Simpson , age 50 , clerk , with wife & daughter . Maybe this address is 62 Richmond St. which is listed as the Simpson's business place in 1862.

    Her birth year is 1818 according to this census . The given names are hard to read and it looks like "Johanna " for Catherine J. Simpson . Perhaps she was not there and the father called her " Johanna" - her middle name.
