Hello, I am interested in the SIMS surname in Louisa VA too. Help!!!!!!! I have a Susanna SIMS m 17 March 1806 Louisa County, VA to James GUNTER, son of John and Susanna HARRIS GUNTER. Surety for this marriage was a Benjamin SIMS. As far as I have learned THIS Susanna SIMS was NOT the daughter of Benjamin SIMS and Lucy LIPSCOMB. As I understand, bible records determine that Benjamin and Lucy had 6 sons and no daughters. The BIG question is who is this Susanna's father :)) Could the surety for her marriage be a brother or uncle? I would appreciate any help on this line. :)) Peggy Hill [email protected]
