My ancestor John Simpson was born in 1787 in Muff, Donegal, Ireland. He moved to Scotland and married Jean Arrol. One of his daughters, my ancestor was Sarah Crichton Simpson. His first born son was John Simpson born 9 June 1826. My husband and I are coming to Ireland in September and would love any assistance anyone can provide.
