That name is a total fabrication. Hiram Sims was a son of Clayborn and Martha Sims. Clayborn and Martha Sims were my proven gggg grandparents. My proven ggg grandparents were Hiram and Mary (Abercrombie) Sims. Hiram and Mary (Abercrombie) Sims did not have a son named Clearborn Sims. They did, however, have a son named Clayborn Sims that married Mary Jane Causey. Clayborn and Mary Jane (Causey) Sims were my proven gg grandparents. I've extensive documented data proving this Sims ancestry.
