Yes, I heard that story too.
I have not found him yet but know I have him listed.
I tried to find a death for him because they said he
was gunned down on Maganolia Ave. but did not
find anything about it.
Yes, some family moved to Monroe Co. One of Willliam
and Charlotte's kids.
I have tons of records and lineages.
It will take a while to go thru them all and find Babe
It seems his real name was Richard, but I that is from
memory only. I have a pic from the Knoxville news paper
of Dick Simpson riding the Two wheel bike. It was thought
to be horrible for the area....hahahhahahahaha
He was blazing trails with that one...

Do you have any dates for the William Simpson. All I have is John Simpson Married Ann or Anne Herriot May 4 1854 in Philadephia, Pa. Then moved to Iowa. and raised a family there. One son, Great Uncle Jack lived and died in Fairbury, Nebraska, don`t remember when he died, I`d have to look it up but he lived to be in his early 90s. Barbara

John Simpson 1677 Halifax Co.Va wife Hannah.
Son William 1755 Prince William Co., Va- 21 March 1839 Wayne Co., Ill. wife Elizabeth Cheshire.
Son Jesse of William, mine settled in Knox Co., Tn.

My husband post a picture of Babe Simpson on his website www.lesjones.com. I think he was about 20 or so. My grandmother and mother both remember him and said he was charming and they always loved to see him. I had an incorrect entry when I mentioned George. He was Ida's husband - and William was her father. It was my mistake. I did not know Ida's parents name until I found her death certificate.

Rose lived with my Aunt Margaret on Woodlawn Pike after her husband died until she pasted away. Aunt Marg did not have any children. My mother and two of her nephews looked after her until her death last year. We got a box of her pictures but we do not know who half of them are. I will try and scan in some to send to you.

Wow. We did not know that Walt Simpson past away last year. After my grandfather - Tom Henry past away in 1991, we lost touch with most of his side of the family with the exception of his sister Margaret. She had to go into a nursing home and past away a couple of years later. Her memory was good for the last 10 or 20 years, but not for anything later. I tried to ask her about family but she either did not want to tell things or she could not remember.

My mother remembers Walt telling the story of Babe robbing a bank with the Bunch gang, and they hid the money on the banks of the tennessee river. When the went back to retreive it, they forgot where it was. Walt said there was a lot of money buried some where on the bank.

We are related. Ida's four children were Margaret, Harmon, Mary, Tom. They have all past away. Harmon's wife Rose is still living and Mary's husband Bill is still living. Both of them are in poor health.

From all the information you have sent me I don`t think there is any conncetion betweem my John Simpson and his wife, Ann Herriot Simpson. They went West to Iowa from Philadelphia, Pa soon after they were mairried. and never left Iowa. I have never found out where they were buried but must be in the Burlington , Iowa area. thanks for the interesting information you sent me Barbara
