In 1772 he was appointed by the Synod of New York and Philadelphia to visit Virginia and NC. He spent seven months in this missionary work, and in 1774 was ordained and settled as pastor of Fishing Creek Church, South Carolina. He was a bold and ardent advocate of independence, and was in many conflicts and skirmishes, in some of which he was regarded as the leader and advisor. He had many narrow escapes, and in the course of the war his house, his library, his sermons, and indeed all that he possessed, were destroyed by the enemy. After the war he gathered his scattered flock, and for ten years preached to them. In 1790 Mr. Simpson became pastor of Roberts and Good Hope Congregation in Pendleton County (District), South Carolina, where he continued his labors until his death, February 15, 1808.
