Hi Lisa, I looked up on my data base and found Elizabeth Sims married to Jonathan Gay. Some of the Joel Sims cousins can probably give you more info than I can. But I have Elizabeth as being married also to a John Black. I have her listed as the daughter to Joel SIms who died in Morgan County AL. If Jim Sims is still watching in on this, he may be able to elaborate more than I can and he has been a tremendous help to me. And if this is correct you would be part of this Sims discussion !

Hi Lynne, Thanks for your input. Do you happen to have a date when Elizabeth Sims married John Black? This may be the reason why I can't find her, and why she isn't buried by Jonathan Gay in Hopewell. I *do* need to join the Sims mailing list -- I'm putting that on my list of things to do today.
