Nathan Simpson (Anthony's father) was born in the north of England, of Scottish ancestry, and devoted his life to mining. He married early in life and had a goodly family. His son Anthony was born in the same locality, and married Elizabeth Bonson, whose father, Robert Bonson, a physician, came to America in 1825 and established lead furnaces at Galena, Ill., and Dubuque, Ia., later returning to England, where he died. Anthony Simpson was superintendent of a mine in Sweledale, Yorkshire, for some years.
About 1837 he came to America and located in Dubuque, Ia., where he engaged in mining and smelting for many years. He also carried on farming. He died in 1866 at the age of fifty-seven. His wife passed away in 1871 at the age of sixty-one. In the family were ten children, Thomas Simpson, the Minnesota pioneer surveyor, being one of the number.
