Hello Norrie, Thanks for taking the time to photograph . I am not sure you can assist but I will give you the details as I know them
Kind regards
Jeff
From the Fife Advertiser 1 17 1852 – Simpson, John, late a farmer Hayfield Kirkcaldy, son of Peter Simpson, a tenant Wester Gourdie, Dundee died in NY 23.12.1851. John Simpson was born in liff 1787 and died when visiting his daughter Margaret Stoddart nee simpson in Manhattan. Margaret was b 1 jan 1818 - where is unknown as there is no birth record. I also cant find a definate marriage record for John Simpson. I was wondering in your travels if you came across any Simpsons that make reference to wife, daughter or son of John c 1815 onwards until his death in 1851.
Kind regards
Jeff
