William (Bill) Mortimer aka "The Cabbage King".

Umm, must be more than your Grandfather if it is the one that built
the
Cabbage Hotel whch was after the time of Simeon Lord. well, that is
the
only cabbage king that i know of.

He had nothing to do with any hotel. He was known as the Cabbage King
because he planted so many cabbages by hand each year. This was in
the days before tractors but with horse and plough.
