| Notes |
- Henry Claude and Sylvania were both in their 30's when they died. James was old enough to live on his own. However, Ben and Josie were raised by their cousin Florida (& Felix) Sullivan. According to Ruby Jean Prince in 2005, Josie actually lived with Thomas B. Sims' daughter, Florida, who was an adult when Josie was orphaned.
1880 Blount County, AL Enum. Dst. 14, page 3 (Township 14)
Henry C. is 17 at the time and listed as the son of Bev. H. Simms
Jamile has a copy of a handwritten note; the original is at the old family home in Clanton, AL
"Village Springs Ala September the 9th 1898 on or by the 1 day of Nov 1898 I promise to pay B H Sims the sum of 20 cents for value received. H. C. Sims" I believe this was a note between Ben Sims b 1889 and his dad Henry Claud Sims.
Jamile also has a copy of The State of Alabama, Blount County probate court appointing several people to different areas of the county. The document is witnessed by P. W. Higginbotham, H. C. Sims, and O. S. Hullett.
Harry Sims has the old SIMS family bible owned by Henry C. Sims and Silvanie Cosby. Jamile has a photo of the marriage page showing their marriage in Remlap, AL on December 4, 1884.
Jamile has a copy of a handwritten poem with names of both James H. Sims of Remlap, AL and Henry C. Sims of Remlap, AL. No date. It's titled "The Road to Heaven".
Notes from Kenneth O. Sims 2005: Kenneth has access to the Baird-Sims Bible, which includes the birth of Claud H. Sims.
