Re: Levi Aaron Simons related to Clarissa Simons??? NY-WI, b. 1820s

Gary ;
I have been thrashing around NY, and Wisc. for some time now.
I have Ira Allen SIMONS was b; Jan 1821, NY,(the best I have found is Fort Ann,WA., Co, NY)
The First place he really shows up is Racine & Dane Counties , WISC.
I have no clue who his syblings or parents might have been.
But, your posting for CLARISSA SIMONS just gave me a ray of hope.
Is there any possibility that you have any knowledge of her syblings or parents?
Richard.

Re: Selina nee Dear and Ellis Hook Simons

downthelane — 2012-04-13 10:53:50Z

Hi

Selina Emma Dear was my gt gt aunt, the daughter of Selina Harriet Ulrich who married Frederick George Dear, they were my gt gt grandparents. If you search under public member trees, typing in Ellis Hooke Simons, you will find a fair amount of info some is mine, not yet finished, and some are by various 4th cousins twice removed etc. There is also a lot of info on the Ulrichs, they were of German/Danish descent.

Ellis's will is also on Ancestry.
Do you have any photos of Selina, I have found a lot of relatives on Ancestry but none have photos. We must be cousins then not sure how to work it out.

Re: Selina nee Dear and Ellis Hook Simons

BunnyBennett — 2012-04-12 21:49:53Z

Hello......Selina and Ellis Hooke Simons were my grandparents. One of their sons, Charles Clifford Simons, was my father. He was born in 1910 and died in 1967. I have just recently subscribed to Ancestry.ca so am new to all of this. My brother, Frank, googled their names and found this link to you.

William is pictured in the 44-A class yearbook of Curtis Field, in Brady, Texas. He is an aviation cadet. I'm not kin but thought this might help someone researching the family.

Simons/Simmons, Heron/Herron, Pollard from Ontario Canada

digi54 — 2012-04-07 15:10:57Z

Hi,
Trying to find Simons/Simmons of German/Pennsylvanian Deutsch descent.

Mary Simons of Toronto Township married Patrick Heron, widower, on June 15, 1837 Home District in Ontario. One of the witnesses was Joshua Pollard. Simons/Heron is my direct line.

Sarah Simmons marries a William Pollard. I think William is most likely a brother or possibly son of the above mentioned Joshua Pollard. This is not my direct line, so I don't have any details of this marriage. I am looking at information on other persons trees.

Mary Simons is born circa 1806-1810 in Canada, according to census records. She is of German origins according to the 1871 census. They have a son whom they name Patrick Sylvester Heron, called Sylvester.

Sarah Simmons is born May 4 1810 in Canada. She is of German origins. They have a son whom they name Sylvester Dyer Pollard.

Are Simons & Simmons the same name spelled differently by different people? I'd like to find out.

Any information is appreciated.

Thanks,
Lisa

Hello Simons/Symons searcher

Thanks,

Re: alfred m. simons

grahamsimons — 2012-01-15 11:59:39Z

Would that be Alfred Montagu Simons b 1870? Father Henry Simons, and I think the family moved to Canada between 1881 and 1891?
If so I have information on Henry and can take the Simons line back some way for you, although I think you have the wrong line of descent for him: looks like we need to launch a discussion on this, and see what comes out of it.
I suggest we use the Ancestry messaging system as it'll get complex!

Re: Menno Simons

LadySickler — 2011-12-21 03:38:34Z

Do you by chance have any information on Peter? The brother? I also have a THOUGHT that maybe my family tree is connected. My grandfather was amish and went by the last name simmons.. or Simons, I can't recall if there are two m's or not. But most amish last names I believe were simons.. I was told that my grandfather changed his last name to SICKLER when he was kicked out for having a deaf child... Do you know anything about this or have any ability to help me out? I have a Peter sickler whom had a child named Gilbert Sickler. Everything ends here. I maybe THINK that PERHAPS Peter is related in some way shape or form? Perhaps I'm completely wrong, Just a question I do suppose!!!! Peter's birth is estimated in the mid 17oo's... So... Perhaps I'm completely WRONG!!! Let me know!! Thanks!

Oops! 1881

MarilynRoth58 — 2011-12-13 15:01:31Z

In the last paragraph, the arrival year should be 1881, not 1891.

William N and Lucy (Ware) Simons were my great great grandparents. My grandfather was Edgar J, son of Homer and Emma (Sanders) Simons. I have several very old photographs that were in my grandmother's home when she passed in 1995 and I know they are from my grandfather's family, but most are not labeled and I don't know if they are from the Simons or Sanders family. Would either of you be able to help identify if I scan and post? My email address is pattydavis@triad.rr.com. Thanks much.

Re: IRA ALLEN SIMONS/ Washington Co.,NY/ poss CONN

neta2 — 2011-11-15 18:19:30Z

Lois:
Sorry to be so late in discovering your reply.
I have the information you have related:
I am trying to find out if IRA SIMONS m;HARRIET BOYCE in DANE CO.
From all my research HARRIET's father (Abram Asa Boyce) died in 1931, And her mothr SARAH TOWNE BOYCE moved to GENNESEE Co., Alabama Twp, as 1840 census showes.Shortly after SARAH moved to Vienna, Dane Co., Wisc.
Thus I believe they were m; in Wisc.
HARRIET's Brother (Abram Asa Boyce moved to Dane Co, prior to his mother arriving.
Biographical Review of Dane Co, relates a bit of this history.
It relates that ABRAM ASA resided April 1847(Is incorrect I think) as Abram's brother in Law Harvey P. Wheaton came in 1842 and HARVEY and IRA ALLEN SIMONS owned land together.
I have not been able to locate HARVEY WHEATON in later Census.
IRA and Family stayed in Dane Co. until some tine b/4 1870
as in 1870 IRA is in HOWARD CO., Missouri, and a THOMAS H SIMONS 67 yrs is presumed to be his father ???
I am researching a THomas SIMMONS in GALWAY, Satatoga, NY a as this the only THOMAS I have found in that time frame.
I don't know if there is any way to confirm these thoughts as of now, So if You might have a thought on this information I would be most gratful

Earl and Pearl Simons had two children: James and Harold. James was my grandfather.

At this point I'm just following the boards and seeing if anyone else has information that I don't. Looking for missing puzzle pieces.

Re: William Riley Simons 1848-1908 - Arkansas

DallasTallGal — 2011-09-07 16:41:40Z

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I replaced my computer, which required me to replace my Family Tree Maker, and the new version has more bells and whistles than I can figure out.

I am starting to dig back into my genealogy research, but I have to do some filing and get up to speed on everything. Are you actively researching or just following the boards?

I still have not found William R. Simons' parents' names yet. This is probably a dead end, but I keep trying. You say you descend from Earl, the one who married Pearl Hull in 1907? The only child I have for them is W. Harold Simons. Is that you or your father?

Re: William Riley Simons 1848-1908 - Arkansas

jandmc198 — 2011-09-06 23:54:36Z

Don't know of any in Ill. My Dad was born in 1912. He had 3 brothers and 2 sisters. Ohe brother died at the age of 16. The last sister passed away about a year ago. His father was James Samuel and his mother was Iona M Mitchell. Will have to look up other info as it has been a while since I worked with it and the memory doesn't work that well anymore. Your dates for Wm Riley sound about right.

Re: William Riley Simons 1848-1908 - Arkansas

DallasTallGal — 2011-09-06 21:42:26Z

Sorry it has taken awhile to respond. A new computer in June meant a new FTM and I have to relearn everything!

This is the first time I have heard William Riley Simons' mother being named Elizabeth Mann as a possibility. I have heard Elizabeth Lawrene from the few others out there researching this family.

Did your James Samuel Simons and decendants pretty much stay in Illinois or Missouri? Thanks for providing the names of his decendants. I'm hopeful to run into someone also researching.

Re: William Riley Simons 1848-1908 - Arkansas

prof_hoop — 2011-05-28 06:03:08Z

Thanks for posting!

Who was your grandfather James Samuel Simon's mother? William Riley was married three times-- I don't remember the name of his first wife, but his second wife was Mary Ann Sprague and his third wife was Minnette Sprague.

William Riley had nine children with Minnette. I think two died in infancy, and the other seven were Emma, Earl, Mamie, Lizzie, Eva, Willie and Eunice. I'm descended from Earl...

The real question I have for you is if you have any information on William's parents? No one seems to have any information on who they were, although I've heard his mother's name was Elizabeth.

My grandfathers name was James Samuel Simons and my fathers name was Garry Harold Simons. My mothers name was Eunice Leola Ferrell. My name is Janell Darlene Simons (McQuinn) and my brother is Garry Jr. He has a son Garry III who lives in Atlanta. I have a little more background but I haven't started looking again until recently so am not sure where it is. jandmc@embarqmail.com

SIMONS charles henry b.1902 London, England

sharonclarkehome — 2011-04-14 17:53:37Z

I am looking for information, connections to Charles Henry Simons b.1902 possibly in Southwark or Wandsworth area of London, England.
Father Alfred Edward SIMONS.
Mother Cora Jane MATHEWS SIMONS.

I have a picture of him as an adult in a family photo, but cannot find a trace on Ancestry.

Cora Jane SIMONS left the marriage prior to 1906 and thus her new family is listed on the 1911 census. I cannot find a 1911 census for Alfred Edward SIMONS family.

(Charlie is in the back row of the photo.)

Any help would be appreciated.
