Annette, I have researched one on the Simmons lines in Hillsborough County. This line is that of John F. Simmons who died in 1885 and is buried in the Turkey Creek Cemetery. John came from Central Georgia and had a large family. He was married twice: 1st wife Marry Kelly who died in Georgia, and 2nd wife Ellafair (spelled many different ways) Barber. There is also a Lacy Simmons in the Hillsborough County Census and there is an indication that one of John Simmons relatives from Georgia was a Lacy Simmons. Have not bee able to verify whether there was a relation. Ludo Van Den Bogaert Plant City, Florida Researching: Rogers, Simmons, Walden, DeShong, Dowdy, Barber, Frazier, Dyar
