Henry Clay Simpson, eighth child of John Simpson and Margaret Ann Dickson. His Obituary reads: "Died on February 26th at his home near Green Grove, Alabama, Henry Clay Simpson, aged 60 years. Mr. Simpson was born March 14th, 1857. He was the youngest son of the late John Simpson of Madison County, Alabama, and a grandson of SIR William Simpson an Irish patriot who took refuge in this County at the time of the execution of young Robert Emmet whose cause he espoused and whose fortune he shared. He was a worthy son of honorable ancestors. Quite and unassuming in his nature he was loved most by those who knew him best. He had no family, but his great heart and sympathetic nature reached out as a father to all who needed his help. To a host of young and struggling nieces and nephews he ever reached a helping and guiding hand, and felt a father pride and solicitude over their success or failures. He was ever ready with sympathy for the sorrowing and with help for the needy. . .."
