There is a will for a Robert Simpson of Ballyrobert. He mentions a brother George in the USA and half sisters by the name of McComb.

I am descended from McSheas of Donegal where the name is most common in Ireland.  In early records they are spelled McShee, which may be a shortened version of McSheehy (1500's gallowglass from Kintyre, Scotland).

Hello - I'm curious if you were ever able to locate information on Robert Simpson?  I am also a descendent of his and if you have any documentation that you could share, I would greatly appreciate it.
