SIMPSON.
1. WILLIAM SIMPSON, from Portsmouth, settled in Orford as early as 1770, and was a selectman of that town, 1771. At the organization of Grafton Co., 1773, he was appointed sheriff. It appears that John Fenton and Jonathan M. Sewall came to Grafton Co., as officials and that an appointment to office was the primary cause of their removal to the new county. Mr. Simpson was in the territory before the county was created by the provincial legislature and three

years before it was organized by Gov. John Wentworth. He removed from Orford to Plymouth, 1773, and returned to Orford, 1775, or early in the year 1776. He paid poll and land tax in Plymouth, 1774 and 1775. In 1776 Amos Fisk was taxed for the farm of William Simpson. It is sufficient to state that he removed from Plymouth to his estate in Orford at the time he was succeeded in office by Jotham Cummings. Mr. Simpson paid taxes in Plymouth as " Improver of the farm of John Fenton" for the years 1776 to 1779, but he was not assessed in Plymouth as a resident except for the two years stated. He was a selectman of Orford, 1778, and succeeding years, and was a prominent man of the county. His brief residence in this town was an incident in his official relations.
