Hello
My name is Shelia Lynn Greathouse Wright. My paternal grandmother was Ninevah Simmons Greathouse the daughter of Joseph Smith Simmons. Joseph was son of Jonathan Simmons(the brother of your GGGGrandfather David Simmons).

I have Leonard Simmons married to Mary Vandal and I have his father as Leonard Simmons married to Mary Mefford. Next as father of Leonard I have Captain Henry Simmons. Now this is all still a work in progress and has been for years and I don't know how true it is but it might give you something to try to check out. I have some information on the Vandals but nothing more on the Simmons.

Good luck to you on your search. I guess we're sort of cousins, right?
