DEARMAN, THOMAS M., aged 94, resided in Sumter county, June 1, 1840. - Census of Pensioners, 1841, p. 149. Does anyone think this could be the father of Elizabeth Dearman that supposedly married James Simmons b 1775 of Abbeville County, SC? They were the parents of Rev. David Monroe Simmons for one.
