SIMPSONS of ROLLINGDAM

    There have been several other SIMPSON'S in or near Rollingdam;  one, Jacob SIMPSON, lived up on the old Mill Road above where the churches stand.  Jacob and his wife Jane (McGARRY) SIMPSON raised their family up there,-- of whom there were four children ( if I am not mistaken );  Leola (MONTGOMERY), Viney, Mary (GOSS), and Henry.  Jacob was the son of Henry SIMPSON from Ireland, Jacob's wife Jane (McGARRY) came from Scotland.  The McGARRY family first settled in Piskahegan in a log cabin on the hill that still bears their name-- "McGARRY Hill"-- more often mispronounced "Mike Carry Hill".
