Is Charles L. Simmons the son of Jonas Simmons?
I live in Indiana and I am having a difficult time researching family members who once lived in Virginia/West Virginia.I did order the marriage license of Charles L. Simmons and Martha Florence Simmons. They were married Jan 1, 1883. in Gilmer County, W. V. Charles is thought to have been born in 1861. In the censuses I have gone over, he is listed as a child with a Lydia Simmons as the mother. I have traced Lydia Simmons back even further to find that she was married to a Jonas Simmons. I have also found info on Hacker's Creek to validate that Lydia and Jonas were married as well. If anyone has information on this family I would be so grateful. They are my great grandparents. Thanks Again! Cindy
