Notes

It appears Melissa was possibly the only surviving daughter of triplet girls. An excerpt from the Simpson family Bible reads, "The 3 girls was born on the 13th day of may 1855".
Per Simpson family Bible. Ref Simpson family tree at Ancestry.com for image.

Melissa obviously received the Caroline Pheraba portion of her name after her father's sister, Pheraba Caroline Simpson.
Melissa's father's sister's name is spelled 'Pheraba' on her headstone.
