Sarah, the Simmons book by L.A. Simmons was published in 1930 and copyrighted in 1931. On page 9 there is an initial doubt that Moses Simmons/Moyses Symonson was married to Sarah Chandler, or at least it states there is no record: "Moses Simmons was married, (probably in Duxbury) about 1632 to Sarah (most of the early writers think she was Sarah Chandler, daughter of Roger Chandler, but no definite record obtainable.). Dale H. Cook seems to think that I am missing one Job Simmons, but I don't think so. I think I just have some wrong dates, unless that is another thing that was proved after the Simmons book was published.
