The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L.J. Collier of Yancy Mills. She is a quiet and refined young lady, loved by all who know her. The groom is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Case of the Rhea District. He is a young farmer that is fast making his mark in that profession. They are both classed with Phelps County's best people. Shortly after the ceremony the happy ones went to the home of Mrs. J.B. Marsh of Yancy Mills, where a feast was spread by friends and relatives. On taking their leave for home all wished them oceans of happiness and prosperity in their journey through life.

35 Name: Notes on the Sims of Hanover-Louisa Counties Virginia
Author: Paul H /Arnot/
Publisher: 1981, 1981
pp.1-6

The initial objectives of this research project were to develop the
parents of Edward Sims, who died about 1790 in Warren Co., N.C., and
also the parents of his wife, Elizabeth. However research in the
early stages developed that some of the basic Sims Family data in the
literature were in error, particularly in the book by Henry Upson
Sims, "The Geneology of the Sims Family of Virginia, the Carolinas
and the Gulf States," 1940. This reference has the most
comprehensive coverage for the Sims of Hanover - Louisa Cos., Va. and
the source material most often quoted. Therefore, the following
report covers the research on the Sims Family in Hanover and Louisa
Counties with the main object to develop the parents of Edward and
Elizabeth Sims of Warren Co. N. C. Admittedly, the research was not
exhausted; and hopefully, the report will assist future Sims
researchers.

Mr. James T. Anderson, Jr., of Marietta, Georgia was most generous
in providing a copy of the notes made on the Sims by his late sister1
Miss E. Katherine Anderson (died October, 1978). Her
notes were particularly valuable on Matthew Sims, II and his
descendents. Mrs. John Kerr, Jr. of Warrenton, N.C. provided
valuable research assistance, particularly in the Bute - Warren Cos.,
N.C.

Early Sims Records in Virginia

Table No. 1

1704 Rent Roll, James City Co., Va.
Wm. Sims - 650 a.
1704 Rent Roll, New Kent Co., Va.
Jno. Sims - 1,000 a.
1704 Rent Roll, Surry Co., Va.
Geo. Sims - 100 a.


St. Paul's Parish was originally located in New Kent Co., Va. and
in that part of the County that fell into Hanover Co., Va. when that
County was formed in 1721. The vestry records of St. Paul's
Parish have been published by C.G. Chamberlayne which includes the
processional records for Sims from 1708 to 1771. Land
processioning is not a current practice; bowever, a necessary one
before accurate land surveys with permanent markers. The church
vestry at periodic interals,
usually four years, would divide the parish into precincts with
appointed overseers to actually go (procession) with the property
owners to re-establish their property boundaries, usually defined by
trees,stumps, rocks, streams, etc.

The lands of a John Sims and a Matthew Sims were first
processioned in 1709 in St. Paul's Parish as follows:

The lands of David Crawford, Thomas Rice, John Sims, Matthew
Sims
and Thomas Crenshaw lying adjacent to each other being made one
precinct of which the said Thomas Rice and John Sims were
appointed
overseers. They made this return viz. the within precepts
executed
according to order.

To which every of said parties Subscrib'd.

(St. Paul's vestry Book, pg.
148 March 14, 1908)

The lands of John, Matthew, Edward and George Sims were
processioned in the same precinct in 1711 although Edward and George
were "not there because of ranging." The lands of John, Matthew,
Edward, and George Sims continued to be processioned in the same
precinct
through 1743 as summarized in the attached Chart.

The lands of a John Syme and John Syme's heirs were
processioned in the same precinct with the lands of John, Matthew,
Edward and George Sims in 1732 and 1739 respectively. John Syme
(consistently spelled Syme in the records) was born in Scotland and
emigrated to Virginia about 1710. He was a land surveyor and amassed
a very large holding of land. He died in 1731-32. His widow, nee
Sarah Winston, married Capt. John Henry. John and Sarah (Winston)
Henry were the parents of the famed Patrick Henry of Virginia.

The early Hanover County records were destroyed except for some
records for the years 1733 - 1735. These early records show a James
Sims in association with John, Edward, and George Sims. James Sims
owned property in Hanover County although he was not listed in the
St. Paul's Parish vestry records.

John, Matthew, Edward, and George Sims owned adjacent property,
and it would be logical to assume that they were brothers. A John
Sims had 1,000 acres listed on the 1704 New Kent Quit Rent Roll.
Records are not available to show how John Sims acquired the 1,000
acres or how John Sims, Matthew, Edward and George Sims acquired
their processional lands in St. Paul's Parish. It would be
logical to assume that each received a share of the 1,000 acreas
listed for John Sims on the 1704 Rent Roll for New Kent Co., Va.
This point will be discussed later.

Henry Upson Sims, L.L.D. (deceased) late of Birmingham, Ala.
was a prominent lawyer, a past president of the American Bar
Association. He spent over fifteen years researching his Sims Family
History with the assistance of many regional researchers and the
cooperative help
of relatives and Mrs. Jane Morris of Little Rock Ark. who wrote "Adam
Symes and His Descendants." H.U. Sims privately printed in 1940
"The Geneology of the Sims Family of Virginia, the Carolinas and the
Gulf States." A copy of this book is in a number of the major
geneological libraries, and has become the main reference book for
research on the Sims in the Hanover County area of Virginia.

H.U. Sims in the preface of his book makes this statement,

A search to identify the first American Sims ancestor of the
family, led to conclusive circumstantial evidence that be
came to Virginia from the Island of Antigua, and a search into
the history of that island connected him directly with the
Somerset Symes family in Seventeenth Century England.

He developed with logically presented circumstantial evidence that
George Symes (Sims) of the Isle of Wight County and later Brunswick
County was the father of John, Matthew, Edward and George Sims of St.
Paul's Parish, New Kent County, Virginia. He concluded that George
Sims, Sr. probably followed his sons to that area in about 1711.

The above conclusions based on circumstantial evidence are wrong
unfortunately, H.U. Sims did not have available a key legal document
that definitely establishes that John, Matthew, Edward and George
Sims of Hanover Co., Va. were the sons of William Symes of
James City Co., Va. who also was the father of William, Robert and
James Sims.

While Wiliam Ellis Jr. was in Stewart County as early a 1816, first record of purchase of land by him in that county is in Deed Book 9, pg 343, March 19, 1823. From Martin Bingham to William Ellis, 250 acres on Elk Creek. He may have acquired other land earlier, but, if so, deed was not recorded or record was lost. 1836 Tax List, Stewart county Dist. 6 shows:"William Ellis, no lands;" 1838 list shows William Ellis, Dist. 6, taxed on 250 acres. Others on 1836 list in Dist. 6 no land: William E Ellis, Duncan H. Ellis and Jesse Collier.

For many years William Ellis Jr., was an active Justice of the Peace, performing many marriage ceremonies; also an active juror, a tax collector and in 1850, census taker for Stewart County.

After removal to Tennessee, William and Sarah lived for a few years in Robertson County. Court minutes of that county for May 1810 name Isaac Winters as overseer of road from Milton Creek up to Caleb's Creek, with William Ellis, Sr., William Ellis, Jr., Sims Ellis and others as hands; a similar order in Minutes for Aug., 1810 names Reuben Bowers as overseer of the Iron Works road from th said Bowers to the Ford of Sulphur Creek, and directs him, with the tithes of William Ellis, Sr., William Ellis, Jr and others to keep the road in repair. Dixie L McCrary, "The Ellis Line from Surry," (1978, pg 198-207)

Research by a descendant Mr. Paul H Arnot of Palo Alto, California, establishes that William and Sarah were in Stewart County., Tennessee by December 1816. Entry in Stewart County Minutes, 1815-19, p. 178 shows: May 7, 1817 The last will of Lemuel Smith, dec'd, was proved in open court by oath of William Ellis one of the subscribing witnesses thereto who also made statement that he saw James Milam, Sally Ellis Subscribe their names, ect.
