Biographical history
Issac Simpson, private banker, died at Kingston 2 September, 1901.While in business Simpson's premises were at the office of the Frontenac Loan and Investment Society on Clarence street. He appears to have retired from active business in, or around, 1895. Simpson was the President of the Cataraqui Bridge Company from 1881-1900 amd a shareholder in the Kingston Hoisery Company. Simpson dealt in property largely in Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox and Addington counties, but he held property all across Ontario and in Western Canada. He also held mining leases and chattel mortgages. He was survived by his wife and daughter (Annie Maude Stokes).
Custodial history
This sous-fonds forms part of the Kirkpatrick-Nickle legal collection. The documents came from the law firm of Nickle and Nickle, which was founded by Thomas Kirkpatrick in 1828, and which continued under various names (Kirkpatrick Nickle) and with various partners until 1968. The Simpson estate papers were deposited, along with the papers of other clients of the firm, in Queen's University Archives during the 1960's.
Scope and content
This sous-fonds is comprised of correspondence and legal documents pertaining to insurance, loans, mining leases, promisory notes, the Cataraqui Bridge Company and the Kingston Hoisery Company. There are also a large number of documents reflecting the many land transactions in which Simpson was involved. Of particular interest are the records pertaining to Farm Lot 24, Lot 23 and Lot 16 (Military Reserve) in the City of Kingston.
