• Name	James Simpson
  Birth	Abt 1775	Tranent, East Lothian, Scotland
  	Cannot locate details regarding any David and Catherine Simpson/Simson As this information comes from James's death certificate - suspect it could be incorrect. Due to naming patterns in Scotland, Robert, William and James are the most common male names coming down the lines. I have located a possible birth: James Simpson, born 9 Oct 1773 and Baptised 17 Oct 1773 in Tranent East Lothian Parents: Robert Simpson & Catherine Sword. There is a marriage of a Robert Simpson to Catharine Sword, 21 March 1772, Tranent East Lothian Also a child Thomas Simson born 24 April 1785, Bapt 1 May 1785, Salton East Lothian. More research is required
