Hugh Simpson was born in 1822 in Scotland or Ireland and he came to Canada around 18xx as a xx year old farmer. Catherine was born in Ireland in 1819 and came to Canada with her brother Patrick Mitchell in xxxxx since family stories say their father died in the Ireland during the potato famine while their mother was away in the states.

The published "History of Fredericton Junction", notes that town members remember the beautiful woodwork and banisters in the Simpson home and that Patrick Mitchell's foresight to clear and farm the land was visionary. Other fond memories include the festive apple pearing parties at the Simpson home which were enjoyed by all - especially by the hostess, Catherine Simpson, who ended the night with her apples canned for the each year.
The Simpson's attended the St. Columbia Catholic Church in Fredericton Junction.
