I don't have any information about the line you're investigating, but I can offer this: that wasn't an f, it was just an old-fashioned way of writing the letter s.

Hello Everyone! Happy New Year!
I'm a descendant of Eli and Amanda Simpson, Fairfax County Virginia.
In trying to put their lives into some perspective, I'm unable to grasp the whole pucture.
I have Newton Simpson Sr. b. 1810 and Moses(Mofes in one census) Farming. Moses Simpson is married with a child. Newton appears to be his uncle. Brother to Eli Simpson. In 1870 Eli is married to Amanda listed with children. In 1880 Eli is widowed with the youngest child Henry. Amanda died between 1871-1879. The Mortality schedule is not clear for Amanda Simpson.
I have an index placing Newton Simpson dod 1872. Not certain which Newton Simpson.
Does anyone have information on this Simpson line?
Deeds were granted to Moses and Eli Simpson by Jane Briscoe.
Aaron Simpson lived in Washington, Dc and was buried in Sideburn, Virginia.
His brother Moses listed as Jacob Moses Simpson in Freedman's Bureau.
Aaron Simpson's death information list his mother's maiden name as Parker. I've found no evidence yet.
Thanks for your time,
Debbi S.
