Joyce I wanted to ask you about your Sims that started in Bladen. I have a brick wall of Sims from who knows where, that did marry in Georgia but wound up in Barbour then Dale county Alabama. It is Malachi Reaves Sims b 1825 who married Frances Bottoms. Frances died in Barbour in 1852 and in 1854 he married Elizabeth Deborah Carter and they lived in Dale. Both women and Malachi must have been hatched for all I can find on them. He had children by both wives which I have if needed. I have never found a Malachi before this guy or a Reaves either for that matter but I think Reaves may have been a surname somewhere. Thanks for checking Kay Russ Andress
