1. Note:   Anna Briggs is the granddaughter of Ana Hahn. She reports her grandmother's name was Nancy Anna Hahn. Sometime after 1855, the family moved to Missouri, traveling by steam boat, until they reached a "woodyard" on the banks of the Missouri River, now known as St. Joseph. About 1856, the Simpson family, along with Nancy's son, Frank Buzard, moved over to Doniphan County, Kansas, where they homesteaded 100 acres. "There were only three white families in that part of Kansas then. The rest [was] all timber and Indians. The Simpson built a log cabin, where they lived a long time until they built a house that was still standing in c1977. Nancy had a chance to go back to Ohio for a visit after she had been living in Kansas for thirty years. [This would make the year of her trip about 1896.] Prior to her trip she had been very homesick. After she arrived back in Kansas, she was happy to be back and accepted Kansas as her home. Nancy was well known in her region for her cooking, much of which was done in large iron kettles on the old fire place. She also made delicious bread using her own yeast made from corn meal and hops she raised in her garden. Briggs remarks, "I never tasted anything as good as the bread she baked." Nancy's husband had built a hiding place "in front of the fire place" for storing food so the Indians wouldn't find it when they came to the house. This letter does not indicate how often the Indians came, univited, to the Simpson home. But, on what appears to be the last occasion, "a bunch of Indians", looking for food, arrived while Nancy was cooking one day. She was in the process of sharpening a knife, when "she turned real quick and pointed the knife at the chief and said, 'Big Chief, get out.' It frightened the old boy, and he jumped back. The rest of the Indians laughed at him and said, 'Big Chief afraid of White squaw.' They left and never came back again." Nancy had a "lovely garden" with a white picket fence around it. She grew hollyhocks all along the fence. Nancy's sons, Jim, John, and Henry, lived close by for many years. She died at the age of 86 of Pneumonia. "She was a beautiful lady and so good natured, always smiling and singing."
2. Note:   Nancy was born "in Lima, Ohio." Submitter feels it is more likely she was born near Lima, on the farm owned by her father.
