I know that early Stewart marriages were destroyed but are there other early records that exist? Looking for more on Wilmoth (?) SIMS GRAY. She is on the 1830 Stewart census as Wilmot Sims and has a young girl in her household and a male child who is my 3rd g grandfather William M. Sims b. 1828 in KY or TN. Judging from the 1830 & 1840 Stewart census, Wilmoth m. John W. Gray somtime between 1830-1840. According to Stewart m rec.William Sims m. Elizabeth Jane S. Kennedy 1846. Supposed to have went to Iowa in 1844 so apparently returned to get his wife. The Sims and Gray families show up in the 1850 Marion Co., Iowa census without a Mr. Gray. The Gray sons have given names that I have also seen in the Henry Co., Tn Census Index, ie. Archibald, Thomas, John... Have looked at film of Stewart court minutes and deed indexs but can find not on any Mr. SIMS or John W. GRAY. Any sugestions? Thanks a bunch, MontDobie
