Looking for proof that Isaac Simpson was married to Mary Polly Melton (1820-1869) Ky. Is their daughter Hettie

Question

I need to find proof that they were married and Hettie was their daughter. Marys parents should be Terry H. Melton, and Charlotte Brock. I hope I'm correct about this. Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

September 20, 1853 a male child with no name (usually indicates stillbirth or death soon after birth) was born to Isaac Simpson and Poly Melton in Cumberland River, Kentucky. This is from Kentucky Birth Records Harland, Kentucky.

August 12, 1854 a child identifed as dead at birth was born to Isaac Simpson (no mother identified) in Winchester, KY

December 15, 1859 an unnamed child was born to Isaac Simpson and "Melton" in Harlan County, Kentucky.

Using this information, I found the following in the 1860 Census for Clay County, Kentucky....

Name: Isaac Simpson
Age in 1860: 38
Birth Year: abt 1822
Birthplace: Kentucky
Home in 1860: Clay, Kentucky
Gender: Male
Post Office: Manchester
Value of real estate: View image
Household Members: Name Age
Isaac Simpson 38
Polly Simpson 38
Hetta Jane Simpson 16
Millea A m Simpson 14
Sarah C Simpson 12
Andy M Simpson 10
Green A Simpson 8
William P Simpson 6
Aron B Simpson 4
James L Simpson 7.12

Hope this helps.

Addendum: Also found a death record for Aaron Simpson, Mar 27, 1920 in Harlan, KY that identifies the father as Isaac Simpson and mother as Polly Melton.

Found death record for Lewis Simpson Sr., June 9, 1930 in Harlan, KY that identifies the father as Isaac Simpson and mother as Polly Melton.

Here is the family tree of John Isaac Simpson

John Issac Simpson (M)
b. 26 Apr 1865, d. 26 May 1907
Pop-up Pedigree
John Issac Simpson was born on 26 April 1865 at Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He was the son of John Simpson and Margaret Jane Walsh.1 John Issac Simpson was baptized on 11 June 1865 at Trinity Church, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

On 11 February 1891 John married Anastasia Rowan, daughter of John Rowan and Ann Meany, at Sherbrook Methodist Church, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

John Issac Simpson died on 26 May 1907 at Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, at age 42; John died six months before his son Victor was born.1 He was buried on 28 May 1907 at Cemetery at Mount Royal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.1



Children of John Issac Simpson and Anastasia Rowan:
John Edmund Simpson+ (18 Mar 1891 - 17 Mar 1960)
Ernest Stanley Simpson+ (03 Aug 1892 - 13 Mar 1965)
Malcolm William Simpson+ (12 Oct 1893 - 09 Sep 1964)

Victor Issac Simpson+ (17 Jan 1908)

[S58] Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Palais de Justice, Record of Death and Burial, Simpson, John I., 26 May 1907.

This is the only Simpson name nearest to Issac Simpson. There were other Simpsons but none was named Issac. Now the name of his wife and daughter also do not tarrly with those given by you. You have not suggested that this was his only daughter for hehad quite a brood.

Answer 3

(Is going back to her 19th great-grandfather on her Father's side proof enough??) Some birth/death dates could not be found, nor some spouses.
