I have been researching my side of the Simmons' for a while now and have found that they were from the United Kingdom, (Scotland and Northern Ireland.) I haven't finished, but have gone far enough to know that he is right at least as far as my side goes. My GGGrandfather and mother were William Simmons and Jane Martin from SC. They wound up moving to Monroe County Al. sometimes during their earlier years of marriage since I find my GGrandfather as being born in Monroe County Al. in 1848. He had my Grandfather, Samuel R. Simmons, with a Frances Simmons in 1867 in Monroe, Cty. I don't if this will help you or not but I am pretty sure my line was from Scotland and that area. If you would like to correspond and find out if we are really from here is my email; [email protected] Who was your people and where did they live in the US? Send me some info. and I will try to see what I can ! find if you like. Thanks, Sammy Simmons By the way, was any of your people from the Ga. and Al. areas?
