Brenda I am answering an old e-mail that you sent to the list most of the COx families come off the Cocke lines . The name was changed by a COunty Recorder somewhere along the lines. as this is also a Blood line of mine and several in our groups. The Surname Sims, is this tied into James Sims or Bartlett Sims of Hawkins Co. Tn. ( Where Hudson Johnston and some more of our Kin came out of) I do have a list on the SIms families in one of my trees. Hudson Johnston in 1783 bought his land in betweem (Bartlett) Sim and a Ingram in what was Washngton Co. NC prior to Tennessee Statehood .It was Sullivan Co. for two years and then Hawkins split from it. ANy Sims info is greatly appreciated.
