[Note #14: Family tradition states that Elizabeth was "a Donelson", closely related to Rachel Donelson who m. Andrew Jackson. No Holman-Donelson marriage has been found although some Donelson "in-law" surnames (Simpson and Stokely) are used by descendants of Isaac W and Elizabeth.]

John Holman of Estill County, Kentucky named his oldest son "Simpson". Simpson married Margaret Campbell in 1838 and had three children (born between 1838-1848). Margaret and the three children are in the 1850 census for Estill County, Kentucky. The 1850 census for Lake, Buchanan County, Missouri lists John Holman and his entire family, including Simpson.

Two sons of Reuben Holeman (c1759-c1829) and Mary "Polly" Cook (born 1762 in North Carolina) and grandsons of Isaac Holeman, died 1808, are connected with the names “Simpson” and “Waller” - Reuben Holeman (born 1786) and Isaac W Holman (1783-1844).

Reuben Holeman, Jr. (born 1786) married Mary Riley:

* daughter, Susan Holeman married Stephen Estes in 1831 in Clay County, Missouri. Stephen Estes died in 1833 leaving a widow and child. Before 1836, the widow Susan (Holeman) Estes married her first cousin, William Simpson Holeman.

* son, George Waller Holeman (1820-1863).

Isaac W Holman (1783-1844) married Elizabeth Donelson (born 1787) daughter of John Donelson and Catherine Davis and had a son, William Simpson Holeman (born 1815 in Tennessee). This is the man who married the widow Susan (Holeman) Estes. I do not know how long this marriage lasted, but some Holeman researchers believe that William Simpson Holeman also married Susan Gurry, and named a son William Simpson Holeman (1842-1924), a son George Waller Holeman (1840-1903), and a son Stokley "Stokes" A Holeman.

Is this the source of the name “Simpson”?

John Simpson was born in Virginia and moved to Kentucky with his family as a child during the 1780s. The family settled in Lincoln County, Kentucky and John Simpson would attend school in first Danville and then Bardstown.

John Simpson (died January 22, 1813) was a United States Army officer, attorney, and politician. Simpson saw military action in both the Northwest Indian War and the War of 1812. He also served four terms in the Kentucky House of Representatives, including two years as the House's Speaker. In 1812 he was elected to the United States House of Representatives, but died before he could take office.
