(NOTE: In his 18 Mar 1998 on-line presentation of "the Maryland Simpsons" Ron Hagen identifies wife #1 of William Moore Simpson as "Mary Collins."All other on-line sources follow suit and similarly identify wife #1 as "Mary Collins.")However, according to the above marriage license, there is no doubt that wife #1 of William Moore Simpson, son of Hendley & Elizabeth Simpson of Macoupin Co., IL., is Mrs. Mary Farrow.Mrs. Mary Farrow may well have been a Miss Mary Collins, but I have not been able to find that supporting evidence. I would welcome such evidence to this research.Additionally, Mrs. Mary Farrow (?) MAY HAVE BEEN (?) the widow of Robert B Farrow, (1811 - 1836) Find A Grave Memorial #84463249 & mother of Isaac L Farrow, (1836 - 1846) Find A Grave Memorial #84463178 but that is complete & total conjecturing on my part - JRB)

Medora Messenger / Medora Illinois - Friday, Oct 22, 1909.Palmer Reminiscences: by Lyman L Palmer.
"If my memory serves me right William Simpson was married twice, and the children of the first marriage comprised three boys, Gideon, James and William.I was brought much into contact with these boys in those earlier days before the war, and occasionally during the war.I was well acquainted with all of them, and, as a boy I liked them for they were always good to me.Really, as I recall them now, I think of them as among the best friends I had at the Keller school in the old Baptist church."
" 'Gid,' the oldest one, was a genial fellow with a fine appearance."I wonder where he is there days.If these lines should reach him I hope he will again accept my hearty thanks for the kindly deed of long ago."
"The next boy was "Jim."He was a good boy and was much liked in the community...""Near the close of the war he went to California with the Joseph Hooper outfit which comprised, among others, Henry Kemper and Dr. N. Jayne."
"The next boy was "Bill," and I saw but little of him after the old school days.During the war he drifted out of sight so far as I was concerned, and I never have seen him since."
