Notes
a. Note:   [JamesSimsJemima.GED]
  There has been found no proof as to James' parents. Speculation is that it could be Henry and Margaret Marshall Sims. The age is right and there was a male, age ,10, in the household in 1810.
  The family was in Hart county in 1849 - 50. 1851 census shows Greenberg co as the place of Reubens birth.
  1830, a James is living in Greenberg co ,KY 042, no twp listed. 1835, Greenberg Co, James is living on Little Banon with 2 mules. 1840, James is listed in Greenberg co, 168, southern on C. Lick, property value $25.
 1850, there is a James living in Hart co, 249, no twp listed. Sometime after 1855 James and Jemima continued onto Missouri and settled near Independence, Missouri.
  1860 census of MO shows just Jemima living in Johnson co with several of her children.
  Jame's father may possibly be Joseph T, Jerome, John, or Js. These names are on the 1810 Culpeper Co Census showing males 10 yrs of age. James father also may be Henry's whose father was Richard. Several of Richard's children married Tuckers.
  On the Missouri 1860 Mortality Schedule there is a James Sims of Johnson Co, age 60 yrs, died Feb of consumption, born Virginia. Pg 001, 1860 (Age and place of birth are right for my James.)
  Update and Record Change: October, 2002
  James Sims is the son of James Sims (1763-1823) and Jane Towles (1770->1823). This has been proved by the discovery of several letters:
 1. Letter to Henry Sims dated March 1845, from his brother A. G. Sims, Christian Co., Ky. In this letter A. G. talks about brother James and his son Joseph.
 2. Letter to Henry Sims dated 1844 from his brother James Sims. In this letter James talks about his son Joseph and closes with "Jemima and the children joins in love to all".
  Given that I could now link James to Henry, Albert, Oliver and their parents, I posted on several websites stating that I would share copies of all my documentation. From that, I was contacted by Eileen Nelson, October, 2002, a direct descendent of James Sims. This portion of the family tree were developed by Eileen prior to my communication with her.
  In addition to my information I could confirm for her that during 1844-45 time frame James and Jemima were living in Kentucky. James was a farmer. Eileen also shared 2 pictures of Joseph, James and Jemima's son that was the topic of conversation in both letters.
  The original letters are in the Sims Archives currently housed with Lisa Allen Baggett, Alabama.
