Hello Carolyn... I have a few Simmons and Laniers, but don't know if they will help a lot... An ancestral cousin, Joseph Going (Goins) was married to Sovilla Lanier, and her father was Hillory Lanier if my memory serves me...All I know is Joseph was born in MS in 1824, and both his parents were born in N. or S. Carolina..I will track down my notes on the Laniers and tell you whatever else I have... Also, a Simmons girl married into my Goins line...I'll look that one up too to see what her first name was...

I entirely missed that you also had Adams...the Adams in my family are connected with the Laniers, and that's where I got the Lanier info I'm about to give you here... Huillary Lanier was father to Sovilla who married Joseph Goins... Huillary was married to Sarah (?) Huillary's father was John of St. Tammany Parish LA and married Penelope Jones... John's father was Benjamin Lanier of VA, born 1744 and married Ealiff (?) Benjamin's father was Lemuel Lanier of VA, born 1707 and married to Hannah Peters... Lemuel's father was John Lanier of VA, born 1680 and married to Elizabeth Bird... **** Henry Goins, son of Jeremiah, married Sarah Ann Simmons about 1849.. Children were Joseph Calvin Goins John Henry Goins Elizabeth Belle Goins William Lewis Goins I can't vouch for the accuracy of any of these as other than Jeremiah, none are my direct ancestors, and this is from research done by other family members...I hope it is helpful to you...The Adams cousins are descended from Joseph Going who married Sovilla Lanier...and we still can't find Joseph's parents, thos we believe his father was Gibson, first cousin to my Jeremiah...
