To Jimmie; I decend from Isaac Sims, his son Jasper Sims, killed in Civil War, his son James Archie Sims, Sr. His son James Edward Sims, Sr., his son Willard Allen Sims , his daughter me. They were Isaac and Jasper, from Houston Co. Ala. we are told. I''ll check with Dad and see if he knows. What did A.D. stand for. ? The mayor of Bonifay for the last number of years has been James Edward Sims, Jr., my Dad's brother. My uncle is a fine Christian man and Bonifay should be proud to have him. Get back to you, Jimmie. Love, Barbara
