Hi,I read your posting to the SIMS surname forum and I am curious.Your information dealt with Anderson Irvin Sims, b. abt 1824 in BoCoMO.
My 4G Grandfather, Thomas Anderson SIMS, was born in 1802 (believe his birthplace is in Virginia) and he died in 1852 in Boone County, Missouri.His wife was Elizabeth MORRIS and they had 12 children.......most all of whom married and stayed in Boone County to raise their own, equally large sized, families.
Do you know where your Anderson Irvin Sims got his first name of "Anderson".It seems quite a coincidence that there were 2 Sims men in Boone County, Missouri with the name Anderson name - not as a surname but as a first (or in my case, second) name.
I'd be interested in your thoughts.
Many thanks, Sandi Jagger Gauthier
