Biography

In the biography for son Robert T. Simpson in the Centennial History of Oregon:

Robert T. Simpson, conducting a hotel at Buxton, was born in Ontario, Canada, July 22, 1866, his parents being Adam and Luthera (Cerns) Simpson, who were likewise natives of Ontario. The mother was of Irish and Scotch descent while the mingled strains of German, English and Scotch blood flowed in the veins of the father. The parents were married in Canada and there reared their family. The father was a sailor on the lakes, becoming a captain and commanding vessels until he came to Oregon in the spring of 1893, at which time he settled in Portland. In that city his wife passed away in 1893 and Adam Simpson afterward came to Buxton where he has since lived, being now sixty-six years of age. In the family were seven children: Robert T.; Angeline, who is the wife of L. C. Chapman and resident in O'Neill, Nebraska; William F., a resident of Portland; Margaret, who is the wife of Fred Burns, of Minnesota; Benjamin J., living in Buxton; and Samuel and Adam J., both of whom are now deceased.^[1]
