ORIGIN: Unknown.
MIGRATION: 1634 (based on birth of child at Watertwon on 28 May 1634 [WaVR 1:3]. … Both Savage and Pope suggest that the "John Simpson" who was a passenger to New England on the Truelove in 1635 may have been the same as the subject of the present sketch, making a second trip to New England [Hotten 132, Savage 4:101; Pope 416]. This sequence of events seems unlikely, and we conclude that the 1635 passenger was probably a different man.
DEATH: "John the husband of Susan Simson" was buried at Watertown on 10 June 1643 [WaVR 1:11].
