Rev. J. P. Simmons served as pastor of the Cortland Baptist Ch. between 1840 and 1851. According to Centennial Anniversary handbook of the church, he spent his final days in Fulton, Oswego Co. NY living with his daughter. He was there in 1881, but served in positions in the neighboring towns during the early 1850's. Does anybody know if he is the Jonathan P. Simmons who is living in Cortlandville census in 1850? Anything more about either of these men would be of great help in figuring out if these are my Simmons. Especially what the census says about Jonathan, who is listed on page 356. Vicki Hall Titus Desc of Lydia (Simmons) Hall
