Son of James Hood Simpson and Elizabeth R. Smith Simpson. Date of birth on tombstone is probably inaccurate. His parents did not marry until 1850. In the 1860 census James is listed as 9 years old. In the 1870 census James is listed as 18 years old. In the 1880 census James is listed as 27 years old. In the 1900 census James is listed as 48 years old. In the 1910 census, 59 years old. It was not until 1920 that his age is listed as 73 years of age, an age which would have put his date of birth in the 1840s.
