June,Cathy and list
ASk..and" ye shall recieve".Many thanks for straighten the Mary's out.By the
may,Henry Arthur married no2.Millie Prince.

Now,another question: How familiar are you with the Sims family.My
gggrandfather was a John E. Sims(1819-1891)mar to Hannah Keeney-1859.They
lived around Big Sewell for awhile then moved to Lansing(which is just
across the Gorge bridge from Fayetteville,WV) for the rest of their
lives.IThey are buried at Good Hope Bap Church and Lansing Bap Church.I have
not been able to find anything on John E.'s parents.My grandmother thought
maybe??...John E. was from the Chesterfield Co.Va area(which is adjacent to
Richmond)Hannah's parents lived on Sewell and Pocahontas Co..There was a big
difference in their ages...John E. was 41 and Hannah was 19 which makes me
suspect he was married twice????



I would appreciate ANY thoughts on them
