Archibald SIMPSON, William SIMPSON’s son would marry and move to Tennessee, where he shows up in Don Simpson’s article, “Simpsons in Wilson Co., Tennessee.” (Simpson Clan, Volume X , Issue 4, Spring issue.)
Now, my investigation shows that Archibald married Mary CURRY about 1801, probably the daughter of John CURRY; this would coincide with his purchasing the land on Round Lick. Archibald would only live on this land a few years; he would sell the remaining 135 acres to John ALEXANDER in Feb. 1807; witness were James CURRY and Robert ALEXANDER. Archibald may have moved to Bedford Co., Tennessee, but he did not remain there either and by the 1820 census, we find him in Gibson Co., Indiana. This information would be consistent with the CAMPBELLs as well. They all moved to Indiana as well. So, it would seem we have a good connection between some of the SIMPSONs of Botetourt and these in Tennessee. The IRVINs / IRVINEs, CURRYs and ALEXANDERs are all related as well.
