"Samuel Simpson from the Enoree River region, was in the mercantile business, left a widow, Nancy (Bobo) Holland (her 2nd marriage) and 5 small children: Delilah, Sophia, Susannah, John & Samuel. Sophie & husband, James Richardson, had a son named James Franklin Richardson/Richerson. I have extensive research on the RICHERSON line."
