  • Notes 
    • Reputed to have had 22 children by his two wives - "21 twice over" in family lore, though we have traced only 19.
      Father's name wrongly recorded as Samuel rather than Simeon in 1857 marriage record.
      Probate record has him an innkeeper of Spencer's Bridge Inn, Newburgh, naming Simeon Vickers and Henry Harrison, boatmen: effects ?90.
