The information I have, not entirely from my own research, is that they had at least two children - probably more. 1) Enoch Baker Johnson; b. 31 Dec. 1838 in GA. 2) Martha Elizabeth Johnson; b. 16 April 1841 in GA. >From marriage records in Chambers Co., AL: Ref: Book "5" p. 393a Jeremiah P. Sims to Martha E. Johnson, 30 Dec. 1856, by Lewis S. Sims, JP.; Home of H.C. Johnson and Elizabeth Johnson gives consent for Martha, John McKnight, 2nd Bondsman. Note: from me; Lewis S. Sims and Jeremiah P. Sims were sibling/brothers and John McKnight was their Uncle by marriage to Martha Sims. Ref: Book "5" p. 493a Enoch Johnson to Mary Sims, 16 Dec. 1858, by Lewis S. Sims, JP.; Home of Colville Sims Note: from me; the spelling "Simms" in the book is incorrect. These are my ancestorial relatives and I've many documents before, during and after the dates of these marriages proving the correct spelling is "SIMS" Colvill(e) Alexander Sims was the first child born to Hiram & Mary (Abercrombie) Sims. He was obviously named fro his maternal grandfather Colvill Abercrombie, Sr. Hiram & Mary (Abercrombie) Sims did not have a son named Robert. I do have a proven record of all thirteen of their children. 1) Colvill Alexander Sims wife: Catherine Johnson 2) Lucinda Sims husband: James D. Cooper 3) Clayborn Sims - my GG Grandfather wife: Susannah Waldrop Note: Clayborn Sims was named for his paternal grandfather of the same name. 4) Hiram Sims, Jr. 1st. wife: Betty Elizabeth Walls & 2nd wife: widow of Miles 5) Lewis Saxton Sims wife: Arinda Babb 6) Sterling Tucker Sims 1st. wife: Emily Bradberry & 2nd wife: widow of Scroggins 7) Paul P.

Sims husband: Eli Webster Meggs Colvill(e) Alexander Sims was born about 1809/10 in Laurens County, South Carolina. He married Catherine Johnson in Walton County, Georgia on 23 Sept. 1836. He died 6 April 1900 near Shiloh, Chambers Co., AL. HIs wife, Catherine Johnson, was born 18 June 1815 in SC and died 18 June 1861 near Shiloh, Chambers Co., AL. Colvill(e) & Catherine (Johnson) Sims and a daughter Milissa Isabella Sims and at least two grandchildren are all buried in a small family cemetery out in a field located a short distance from the Ebenezer Methodist Church in Northwest Chambers County, Alabama.
