I found your H.F. Sims and W.L. Sims living in Selma and recorded on page 305 of the census in 1850. Listed below are all of the other people recorded on that same page 3305. Maybe among them is the preacher for whom you are looking. Maybe, the census taker just recorded a whole dormitory of young men. This information is sent to you privately because of copyright laws, so please don't "air" these on the maillist, accidentally or otherwise. I hope this helps you in some way. It seems to me that you need a copy of the entire page 305. Good luck! Kathryn Census Index: U.S. Selected Counties, 1850 Bonner, M. State : AL County : Dallas Co.
