| - Major Simon Affleck (ca. 1660 – 1725) was a Swedish tax official, of Scottish descent, who worked in then Swedish-ruled Finland. He had been appointed by the King of Sweden to collect taxes in the Pielisjärvi region, and also paid the rent of his mansion in Pielisjärvi to the King. His probable grandfather Hillebrand or Gilbert Affleck was born in Scotland and was a burgess in Turku and inspector of gunpowder factories. Affleck is said to have been a ruthless collector of taxes with little pity towards the poor Finnish peasants. This, and the large and ferocious dog he kept as a pet, earned him the nickname Simo Hurtta (hurtta is Finnish for hound). Affleck died in 1725 after the Greater Wrath. He is said to have shot himself in the head in his mansion to deny the Finnish peasants raiding his mansion the satisfaction of killing him. (en)

Inom litteraturen har Affleck förekommit skönlitterärt såväl hos den finske författaren som den svenske författaren Björn Holm. Bönderna gjorde uppror mot "Simon Hunds" metoder. Släkten kom ursprungligen från Skottland men hade bosatt sig i det svenska riket på 1600-talet. Affleck bodde i Ingermanland där hans far var översättare. Under reduktionen privatiserade kronan skatteindrivningen så att en privatperson kunde hyra ett område mot skatteintäkterna.[källa behövs] (sv)
