Topics: 1) surnames: SIMMONS, Davidson, Maize, Kimbrough, Thurman, Hays, Cosby 2) reply for Carol Hylan *********************************** 1) I am researching SIMMONS in Tallapoosa, AL and other places. John William SIMMONS was b. 1817 in GA m. Lorena Weldon. They moved to Tallapoosa and had several children (12 or more). Would like information on their children (except Andrew Robert), their childrens' spouse, and their parents if possible. Thank you. To view my SIMMONS information, please visit my web page (link follows at end of message). 2) I have one Arant in my family tree. Frances Melvinne Arant b. 01-13-1863 d. 10-11-1948. She married Wilson Laney b. 10-19-1850 in Notasulga, AL and d. 01-01-1927. They had several (10) children. If you would like to see them, visit my home page (link at end of message). If this Arant is part of your tree, please let me know and let me know how to get more information. I am trying to trace ancestors of my sons. We had a lot of SIMMONS born in Tallapoosa, AL, and if you run in to any of them in your research, I would certainly appreciate it if you could pass that info on to me. If there is anything I can do to help you, please let me know. Thank you very much. jennifer nodwell jennifer@crowder.com -- Visit PotPourri (with a link to my family tree)- http://www.ccrowder.com/~jennifer
