OBITUARY

Died at Pensacola, Fla. on the 20th ult., Mrs. Anna Pickens SIMPSON, born on 
the 12th of April in the year of our Lord, 1770. Her native place was 
Abbeville District, S.C.

She was the daughter of Gen. Andrew Pickens SIMPSON, so highly and 
deservedly celebrated as commander of the American forces, during our 
revolutionary struggle with Great Britain and the most distinguished hero in 
the Battle of the Cowpens. Her mother was Miss Rebecca CALHOUN, daughter of 
Ezekiel Calhoun, sister of John E. Calhoun, who died in Congress, and cousin 
of John C. Calhoun, present Senator from South Carolina.

After having been educated in her native state, she was married to John 
SIMPSON, her first and only husband, at the age of 22 years. With him she 
lived 45 years, and became the mother of seven children, two daughters and 
five sons, the youngest of whom died at the age of two years. The remainder 
still live. "The Pensacola Gazette"
