Peggy,The names of the parents of Riley Jefferson Simmons (b: 19 Jun 1874) was provided by one of Riley's daughters, Alice May, who married Luther "Luke" Brewer in Lawrence Co., AL on 26 Mar 1915.Alice is now deceased but has a daughter, Sally (Brewer) Martin who was working as a nurse in the Lawrence County Hospital in the 1980's and living in Moulton, AL.I feel she is still living in the area and may be able to answer some questions for you.Sally has a son named Tommy Martin.You may find Sally or Tommy listed in the Moulton telephone directory.But, as far as I know, Riley Jefferson Simmons' father was called Straw Simmons.I don't know if this was a nickname.I wish I could be of more assistance.Good luck and if I can help any further, please let me know.
