-The fact that Virgil is a direct ancestor of the modern Simpson family seems to completely compromise parts of the previously established Simpson family tree. Specifically, his picture is seen to replace that of Hiram Simpson in the episode ''The Color Yellow'', though in the family tree from ''[[The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album]]'', neither his nor Hiram's picture appears at all. According to [[Abraham Simpson]], Virgil's son was his great-grandfather, which would place Virgil and Mabel at the branch of the tree already occupied by [[Garwood Simpson]] and [[Clowta Stillman]]. It is unknown then if this family tree has been falsified, if there are serious errors, or if Abraham Simpson has simply spoken dishonestly about Virgil (perhaps due to his poor memory and apparent dementia). Another factor to note is that Abraham suggested he may have tampered with the family tree to avoid racist remarks that might have been made if Virgil's picture had remained on the tree.

 After giving the report at the Black History Month presentations, [[Milhouse]] called out Lisa's story as lies, as he had the diary of his ancestor, [[Milford Van Houten]]. Milford apparently overheard that Colonel Burns had tracked Virgil down to the Simpsons and demanded that Hiram tell him where he was. He bribed Hiram with a "nice surprise," and Eliza reluctantly agreed to stay out of it as Hiram told Colonel Burns that Virgil was in the turnip shed.
-Feeling down about Eliza betraying Virgil, Lisa tried to find anything that told her the next part of the story. She found an old video of Eliza at 100 years old, where she said she regretted holding her tongue, and the head pat that Burns gave her had haunted her for her entire life. Lisa went back home, where [[Grampa]] let on that he knew more of the story. [[Homer]] convinced him to tell it, and Grampa explained that Mabel threatened Colonel Burns with a shotgun before she and Virgil fled for [[Canada]]. Along the way, [[Abraham Lincoln]] gave Mabel his hat so she could hide her hair. When the two of them got to Canada, Virgil proposed to Mabel, and she accepted. Mabel got divorced from Hiram, and she and Virgil lived together in a cabin, where they had a son, [[Abraham Simpson I]].

-Eliza never discovered the fate of Virgil, whom she felt she had failed. However, Eliza's mother, [[Mabel Simpson]], left her family in order to lead Virgil to Canada personally, leaving behind her treacherous husband, [[Hiram Simpson]]. On their journey, the two began to fall in love and even encountered Abraham Lincoln, who offered his top hat to conceal Mabel's hair from the authorities. Mabel and Virgil successfully crossed the border into Canada via a bridge upon which Virgil proposed to Mabel. Mabel legally divorced Hiram and married Virgil, who took his wife's previous married name of "Simpson" since he did not have one of his own and "so that Mabel could keep all her monogram table linens." Mabel and Virgil Simpson then had a child, [[Abraham Simpson I|Abraham]], who was [[Grampa]]'s great-grandfather and presumably his namesake.
