I've run into the same thing on the long deep-diving Mother's side done by a cousin years back. Sometimes it seems just the spelling got corrupted on a document and, from then on, that's just how it was. U.S. Grant wasn't U.S. Grant until an endorsement for the Academy written by a Senator that knew the family hosed it up. That's who he reported as, and that's who he was from then on.
Adios, "Simpson" family line.
Mom's lineage changed from 'Hynton' to 'Hinson' sometime during the vamoose out of Ireland (after vamoosing Scotland) and, ahem, hastening themselves out of England to the Colonies to seek their fortune. Stuff just happens for a variety of reasons it seems.
What a cool classic tale you share, though.
