Posted on: HALIFAX CO, VA QUERY FORUM Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Va/Halifax/2152 Surname: Sims ------------------------- I am looking at your 1998 message and hope you have more info now on the Sims family. From the info I have there must be another genetation involved in this line you have. Her is what I have: John Sims b. 1813 Laurenc Co, SC, mar. Martha Riley 11-19-1838(her dob 1815) they moved from SC to AL and then to Smith or Scott Co, Ms where they died abt 1901. They had a son named Drury/Drew who is my ancestor. John had 3 sisters, Rebacca, Sarah Martin and Polly; brothers Drury and Richard and one unknown sibling. John's father was Drury Sims. Let me know what you have come up with since 1998 and where you found the info you had then. Sure hope we can figure this out.
