William Sims - 1757 NC
looking for information on a William Simms who is listed in the Colonial Records of NC as being a Captain at Fort Jackson or Johnson at the mouth of the Cape Fear River in what would have probably been New Hanover or Brunswick Counties. He is complaining that he and his men do not have ample supplies to run the fort. There was also a Capt William Sims in the Wake County Militia at this time. Could they be the same? Did William stay in Southeastern NC? There is a William Sims listed in the 1790 Census of Brunswick County NC. Does anyone know if they are the same?
