Linda, I noticed that the surname of SIMS appears in the name of Nancy G. TOWNS SIMS GULLETT GARDNER. I am researching my gg grandfather, Allen Merrill SIMS who was married to Prudence BOWDEN in the central GA area. Do you have more information regarding the SIMS line or which SIMS Nancy G. TOWNS was married to? Thanks for any information you can give on the SIMS line.
