SIMS/SIMMS, Joseph (1714-1795) married Charity Barnes. One son William (1760-1827) married Edith (Ede) Horn. Their children were Jesse, William Thomas, Mary (Polly), Sara, Leroy, Jacob, Charity, and Patience. Jesse married Mary Ann Holland Evans ( possibly Sikes) moved to TN and later to Leon Co., TX with Mary Ann's father Exum Holland. William Thomas married Harriet Gray and moved to Sumter Co., AL. Harriet and several young children died within only a few days of each other of meningitis. William Thomas then married Miss Polythress and had several more children. Leroy moved to Sumter Co. and joined William T. in the newspaper business. W. T. was also a farmer. Any additional info will be greatly appreciated. I am anxious to exchange material. Thanks, Sue Simms Hill
