Orville Simpson

Orville Joseph Simpson, also known as Great-Grampa Simpson or Grandpa Orville Simpson, was one of the four children of "Old Tut" Simpson and "Happy" Simpson. He was a professional disciplinarian who taught fathers how to properly discipline their misbehaving sons. He hailed from the Old Country, which is implied to be the United Kingdom, Ireland or Canada. 
He was the husband of Yuma Simpson, the father of Hubert Simpson, Tyrone Simpson, Cyrus Simpson, Abe Simpson II, possibly Hortense, Bill Simpson and Chet Simpson, the ex-father-in-law of Mona Simpson, the paternal grandfather of Abbey, Herbert Powell and Homer Simpson, the grandfather-in-law of Marge Simpson on her father-in-law's side, and the paternal great-grandfather of Bart, Lisa, and Maggie Simpson. 
==History==
Orville J. Simpson was born in an unidentified country (presumably the United Kingdom, Ireland, or Canada), and married Yuma Hickman in the early 1890s. The couple had around twelveMathlete's Feat children, including Hubert, Tyrone, Cyrus, Hortense, Fester, Bill, Chet and Abraham. A family tree showing Orville's known family members can be seen here.
Assuming Abe is to be trusted with his stories, Orville, Yuma Hickman and their children emigrated to America on a steamboat from an unspecified country (presumably that of the United Kingdom, Ireland, or Canada) and moved into the Statue of Liberty. After a few years of living there, they were forced to move out when they filled the head with too much garbage. Their family then moved to Springfield, which was located in an unidentified state. While in America, the couple had two children, Bill and Chet. 
Orville was seen in Heaven by Bart after getting hit by a car,Bart Gets Hit by a Car strangling young Homer, hinting the habit is a family trait. However, this is more likely to be a concussion-related dream that Bart had while he was brought to the hospital. Orville is present in Grampa's story when Grampa tells the family of his arrival in the U.S.Much Apu About Nothing
In "Mathlete's Feat", it's mentioned that he raised Abraham and his eleven dead siblings on crick water.
In "The Winter of His Content", Homer implies that Orville is alive, yet Grampa never visits him or acknowledges his existence; defending his own behavior towards Grampa. Lisa is shocked about Orville being alive and nervously changes the subject. It is unclear if he is actually alive or Homer meant his maternal grandfather. 
Orville appeared again in "Dad Behavior" in which, during a (highly inaccurate) flashback, he hurls a baby Abe at the sun in response to him throwing up milk on his shirt. During this flashback, both Orville's physique and vocabulary are similar to that of . His voice is also similar to that of Krusty the Clown.
In another flashback in “A Father’s Watch,” Orville, as a "professional child-beater", is shown to have owned a disciplinary school, where he taught fathers how to punish disagreeable children, by strangling Abe as a demonstration. Despite this, his father remained unimpressed, and strangled him.A Father's Watch
He may have been a Stonecutter since his son was a Stonecutter.
