Peter Simpson

Was born in Washington county, Pennsylvania, in 1758. He served two years in the
Revolutionary war under General Wayne, was in several battles and skirmishes in
New York and New Jersey, and at the battle of Monmouth was slightly wounded. He
was visiting Jessamine county in 1794, and was present at Colonel Price's Fourth
of July celebration that year. He returned to Virginia, and in 1802 removed from
the valley in Virginia and settled in the Marble creek neighborhood, where he
lived until his death in 1835.
