SIMS GENEALOGY
COMPILED AND EDITED BY WILLIAM A. SIMS, JR.
1542 WICKFORD PLACE
CHARLOTTE, NC 28203
[e-mail]

The following represents a genealogy of the Sims family beginning with George W. Sims, the father of my grandfather, Willie Murray Sims (who I called and refer to as Papaw). I began the search for this information at the time of the last family reunion (summer of 1998 I believe) in an attempt to satisfy my own curiosity about Papaw’s history. My Dad told me very little about Papaw’s family and it seemed that part of our family history had been lost. At least it had to me. I presented much of this information to those of you who were in attendance at the reunion and promised then to send you a written account. It’s been awhile but I wanted to keep my word about that. As you will see, I have learned more since that time. This is in no way a complete accounting and I cannot guarantee that all is absolutely accurate. I have indicated with question marks and questions where I am uncertain. I welcome any additional information or corrections that others in the family may have.

My journey on this search has been fascinating and rewarding. Previously I believed that Great Grandpa George had three or four sons and that was about all I knew. As you will see, he had many more offspring than I had thought or imagined. My search led me to believe that much of the family history was “lost” because of the death of our Great Grandma, George’s first wife, Mollie Stringfellow. Mollie died at the young age of 31, leaving Grandpa George with five (5) young children. I believe that the women in families are usually the family history keepers and pass the history along. With Mollie’s death, it may be that the connections to generations to come became dim. George remarried (Callie thingyrell) and though I believe Callie was a caring step-mother to George and Mollie’s children, I was told by one of Callie’s grand children that she did not encourage a continuing family relationship with Mollie’s children as they grew up. That and Mollie’s death may be where relationships with Grandpa George and Willie’s brother’s and sisters may have dimmed (this is my own speculation).

The most remarkable discovery I made was in the last year. I continued to be very curious about Great Grandma Mollie and to wonder who she was and where she came from. Her life seemed so sad and it seemed that after her death she was lost forever. In a search of family genealogies on the Internet, I discovered a Mollie Stringfellow who has a most remarkable family history. If the Mollie I found on the internet is the same as our Mollie (and I believe she is… there are substantial coincidences) she has a very rich and extensive family history. Mollie comes from a long line of the Meriwether and Lewis families in Virginia, a family that was very prominent in colonial days. Moreover, Mollie comes from the same line as that which produced Meriwether Lewis. As you know, Meriwether Lewis was the famous explorer who was co-captain with William Clark on the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition, which was commissioned by Thomas Jefferson and completed in the first few years of the 1800’s. They were the first white men to cross the North American continent and are credited in history as having forged the way for America to settle the West. Meriwether Lewis’s grandfather and great grandfather (Nicholas Meriwether) were also Molly’s grandfathers about 6 or 7 generations back. (See table on p. 5.)

I begin the accounting with George’s parents. I first found this information in a Mississippi census record where George is listed as the youngest son of C.M. Sims, born in 1858. The family lived in Newton, Jasper County at the time of the 1860 census. Since that time, this information has been confirmed with C.M. being Cullen Murray Sims, Jr. (who died in the Civil War), son of Cullen Murray Sims, Sr.

Cullen Murray Sims, Jr. (Born Ga. 1826 married Mary b. 1826). Children: Sarah (1848), William (1850), Mary (1852), Cornelia (1854), George (1858)}


George W. Sims (10/22/1858 – 1946-48) m Mollie A. Stringfellow (1st wife) According to 1880 census, a George Sims (listed as born in 1859, date above is from his grave stone) was living in Jasper County with a C.G. Mullins as a laborer. Grandpa George is said to have moved to Bay Springs/Jasper County from Philadelphia, Ms. Sims’s, according to census records, migrated from the New York area to Carolinas… originally England or Ireland, 1700’s.

Mollie (Mary) A. Stringfellow (I have seen her named spelled both Molly and Mollie – her gravestone lists it as Mollie) – (10/28/1862 – 12/10/1893, born in Alabama). Niece of J.F. Logan and lived with him in 1880 in Jasper Co. Mississippi according to 1880 census records. The Meriwether family tree lists her birth as “about 1863” and traces her to Jasper County. The birth and death dates listed here are from her gravestone. I found a record of Molly Stringfellow on rootsweb.com, born about 1863 which seems strikingly similar and I believe is one and the same. Moreover, she is buried just at the head of John Frederic Logan and multiple other Logans. It identifies her uncle (mother’s brother) and John F. Logan. This Mollie Stringfellow’s family tree goes back as far as about 1600 in England, and extends to the same heritage as Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark expedition. This would mean she and Meriwether Lewis were distant cousins.

Mollie’s parents are listed as:
Father: Enoch Stringfellow (If you’re getting this in electronic format, click on the link to his and Mollie’s mother’s name and it will take you to the family tree). I have no other information on her father.

Mother: Elizabeth Logan b: 21 APR 1820 in Alabama (there is considerable evidence that her lineage goes back to the same family roots as Meriwether Lewis). Her grand father and great, great grandfather’s were named Zachary with a brother also named Zachary. Mollie named her 1st born child Zachary
.
Mollie’s gravestone is located in a rural church cemetery a few miles north of Lawrence, Ms. Her gravestone is about half way down on the left of a dirt road that runs thru the cemetery… marble headstone turning black. She is clearly buried in the Logan family gravesite just at the head of John Frederick Logan. There are also multiple from a Nimock family buried nearby.



Mollie’s gravestone reads:

“As a wife devoted.
As a mother affectionate.
As a friend ever kind and true.”


Children of George and Mollie:
1. Zachary (Zack) Jones Sims (10/1883 - ?) m Pearl? (One strong coincidence with Mollie is a long line of men named Zachary including her grandfather and a brother, and she named her first born son Zachary!)
Children of Zack and Pearl: Fairy Sims Dendy, Margie Sims and George Sims
2. Willie Murray Sims (1/9/86 – 1/4/61) (worked on RR) m 10/22/1911 Gertrude Enola (Lona) Gordy (3/22/86- 4/19/60) – both buried in Louisville, Ms. Cemetery.
Children of Willie and Lona:
1) William Alvis Sims m Ruby Estelle Tabor (Ina Gail Sims [Harpole] Cheek, Ruby Lynn Gilbert, William Alvis Jr.)
2) Lena Thellis Sims (b. 4/6/18, living in Louisville, Ms.) m Zelf Williamson (deceased). (Enola Maxine Warren, Beverly June Black, Zelf Harold, Rebecca (Becky) Ann Mitchell, Donald, Linda Kay Cooper, Nancy Thellis Fulcher, Janet Ladell Davis)
3) Arnold Dee Sims (b. 1/17/15, d. 6/9/74) m Loyce (2nd wife). (Sandra Elaine from 1st wife Ona Mobley, Gary Dee, Clara Jean, Margaret May)
4) Seth Lavern Sims (b 9/15/13, d ? m Cleo (both deceased). (Robert, Betty, Gloria, Ray)
5) Sybil Ruth Sims (b. 10/21/23, d. 2003) m Bit Clarke (Clifton Wayne)
6) Robert Douglas Sims (b. 3.29/26, d. 2003) m Mary Kate Carter (living near Little Rock, Ark). (Brenda, Susan (deceased age 3), Robyn, Douglas, Jr.)
7) Samuel Lamar Sims (b. 4/4/30) m Madeline (both living in Loganton, Pa). (Samuel L, Jr., Sharon L. Murray, Steven L., Sheryl Lisa Haywood, Scott L.)
3. Laura Sims m Frank McCarty
4. Evelyn Lena Sims (8/30/1888 – was still living in nursing home in Bay Springs in 1999) m Joe Bluepert Evans (12 children)
5. Nemmi Sims (Feb. 1893 - ?) m ? (moved to Louisiana, near Monroe)



George W. Sims m Callie thingyrell (2nd wife, b.12/7/1869 – 6/18/1936)
Both buried in Bay Springs, Ms. along with most of their children (and many other Sims gravesites). Callie is said by a granddaughter to have never taken to George’s children from 1st marriage even though she raised them after Mollie’s death
Children of George and Callie:

1. Quilla (Aquilla, A. Quilla ?) Sims (8/19/1895 – 11/021962) m Elna Keys Ottis Sims m Audry Birch
George Orell Sims m Thyra

6. James Walter Sims (9/09/1903-7/13/1970 m Parmalee Ainsworth (8/21/1906 - ?)
2 daughters – Louise Buckley and ?)
Walter worked on RR – had both legs cut off in RR accident
7. Nonnie Sims b. 1904 (worked on RR) m Christine (1st wife), Myrtle (2nd wife)
8. Myrtle Sims – lived few days

I remember Dad talking about his uncles Zack, Nemmi, Walter, Quilla and Nonnie and referring to Callie as a woman who helped Papaw, though I never understood who Callie was. He made reference to his Grandfather George as a very strict disciplinarian to the point that he didn’t much like to go visit. Aunt Thellis has also referred to his as gruff, but in a teasing way.

I have a small book on the Gordy family with much information about Mamaw’s family (Gertrude Enola).

Hi,

I know this has been some time ago that you were doing this history. I am the great Grandaughter of George Washington Sims and the Grandaughter of Nonnie Sims. Callie Sims was my great Grandmother. I have some on some of our family if you're interested.

It's been so enlightening to learn about our history. I look forward to hearing from you.
