My husband, Jiames W. Simmons, was born in Banks Co. His mother was a Henderson. Jimmy's grandfather ran the local "taxi" service there--horses and buggies. He went across country to Kansas to purchase horses or mules. My husband is dead so I am telling this from what he told me. Once,when in North Georgia we stopped to eat at a picnic table on Lake Burton. At the other table there was a couple and an extra lady eating. They were staying in a travel trailer park down the way. They lived in Banks Co. and knew my husband's father and added to the horse stories. We had perchased property in Young Harris and later built there. My husband only lived about 4 years after we built. Just had to say "hello". Guess Simmons Sun City Center, FL
