(DEA Note): Adam's wife Elizabeth was pregnant with a daughter Elizabeth who married Benjamin J. Pittard (see Deed Book H, page 141-142, Georgia Meriwether County)), buried in Oglethorpe Co., GA.

He married Elizabeth 'Betsy' Muckleroy, married 14-Dec-1803 in Oglethorpe Co., GA, born 1783 in South Carolina (According to 1850 census.), (daughter of Andrew Mackelroy and Johanna New) died aft 1860 in Lincoln Parish, LA, buried in Lincoln Parish, LA. Elizabeth: Elizabeth SIMMONS, her two sons James and Asa Bailey, and her daughter Hannah move from Meriwether County, Georgia to Vienna, Lincoln Parish, (Formerly Jackson Parish) Louisiana. In Jackson Parish Louisiana History it states that Asa Bailey SIMMONS "... he received his education and 5 Mar 2009 Page 2

began his career of a planter in his native state, where he lived until 1849, when he removed to Louisiana and located on a plantation two miles from Vienna, when ... During the war Asa B. SIMMONS was a member of an organization of home guards. A prohibitionist from principle, he was long identified with the temperance association. He married in 1839(Ed. note 1838) to Miss Temperance STERLING, also a native of Georgia." Much of the above can be said of Asa's brother James SIMMONS. The 1850 census shows both brothers as farmers. Asa's farm was valued at $120.00 and James's farm at $150.00. The next ten years brought a great deal of prosperity to the two brothers. The 1860 census of Jackson Parish, Louisiana shows for Asa B. SIMMONS real estate valued at $6700.00 and personal estate valued at $500.00. James SIMMONS real estate valued at $8000.00 and personal estate valued $1275.00. Mrs. Olga BROTHERS TEAGUE, great-great-granddaughter of Asa states that Asa owned 40 slaves in a letter dated 31 Aug 1965 and written to Mrs. Charles NEWTON of Georgia. During the Civil War, Asa Bailey SIMMONS JR. (named for his uncle) son of James SIMMONS enlisted as a private in K Company, 2nd Louisiana Infantry. He died the 24 June 1861 in Yorktown, Virginia. James like his brother Asa most likely enlisted in the Home Guard. Asa Bailey SIMMONS had two sons enlist in the Army, James Isaac and Jesse A. both of whom enlisted in I Company 28th Louisiana (Gray's). They are all listed in Roster of Civil War Soldiers of Louisiana. In 1865 Asa Bailey SIMMONS was taxed $2.70 and James SIMMONS was taxed $0.60 according to The Civil War tax in Louisiana 1865. The 1870 census of Jackson Parish, Louisiana shows the devaluation of the land and property to the Southerners. James SIMMONS SR. had Real Estate valued at $625.00 and Personal Estate valued at $530.00. Asa Bailey SIMMONS had lost everything, but his son James Isaac SIMMONS and family were living with him. James Isaac SIMMONS had real and personal estate valued at $2800.00. The 1870 census lists six SIMMONS households all of which were related the each other. Two nephews of James and Asa SIMMONS moved to the Vienna, Louisiana area during the 1860'S. They were Jesse A. and Henry James SIMMONS, the sons of Jesse & Frances (PITTARD) SIMMONS. The following decade began the exit of several of the SIMMONS families to Texas, but some families remained in the area. The 1880 census of Vienna, Lincoln Parish (Formerly Jackson Parish) listed three sons of Asa Bailey SIMMONS as heads of households. They were Jesse A., Josiah 'Joe', and Abel A. SIMMONS. James SIMMONS SR. and his son Mortimore were listed as heads of household. Also the two brothers Jesse A. and Henry James SIMMONS were also listed as heads of household. By the 1900 census I could only find two families with the SIMMONS surname living in the Vienna area. In Ward 1, Ruston, LA., lived Josiah 'Joe' SIMMONS (son of Asa), and Mortimore SIMMONS (son of James SIMMONS SR.) .

Written by James's grandson, Paul Earnest Baker, in the 1960's: "James Isaac (Jimmie) SIMMONS, first son (of Asa and Tempy SIMMONS) born in Meriwether County, Georgia in 1841. Moved to Louisiana with his family; served in the Civil War 1861-1865; fought in the battle of Vicksburg on the Mississippi. Married in 1866 in Louisiana to Harriet Matilda (Hattie) STALLINGS, who was born 1842. They had a family of nine children. According to reports, Grandfather's brother-in-law was a slave trader in Louisiana before the Civil War. Jimmie and Hattie SIMMONS migrated from Vienna, Louisiana to Raleigh, East Texas--- in 1869. After the Civil War the plantation in Louisiana was impractical, so along with other members of the family, Grandfather and Grandmother probably were attracted to Texas by stories of cheap, fertile land and the big, wide-open spaces. In 1870 they moved further west to the Cross roads, Flower Mound, Denton County, Texas. Grandfather Jeptha STALLINGS (Hattie's father) had come to the area prior to Jimmie and Hattie Here they lived four or five years and then moved to a farm six miles east of Cleburne, Johnson County, Texas. Dr. Joe STALLINGS, (Hattie's brother) after serving four years as an army surgeon in the Civil War, had moved six miles east of Cleburne, but died about this time. Jimmie took part in the settlement of his brother-in-laws's estate. While in Johnson County, Jimmie and Hattie lived in a log cabin near the Chisholm Trail. They could see the cattle being driven to the railroad and to market at Kansas City along this trail. They hauled water; raised a garden, corn, cotton, chickens, hogs and milch cows. Jimmie and Hattie moved back to Denton County about 1876 and located north of Grapevine, where they continued to live until after all their children were married. Their first home was a log cabin with a dirt floor, one door and no windows. Then a lean-to was added for a kitchen, later a three-room house was built one-half mile east of the log cabin. Still later, a long kitchen and a large parlor were added. Later in life Grandfather J.I. SIMMONS and Grandmother Hattie STALLINGS SIMMONS, moved to Stringtown, about two miles east of their old home to be near their sons: Joe and Willie SIMMONS. Here, Grandmother Hattie died November 25, 1924 at the age of 82 and Grandfather Jimmie died May 11, 1925 at the age of 84. They were laid to rest in the Flower mound Cemetery, about five miles southwest of Lewisville, and adjacent to the Flower Mound Church. When "near the end of their", Uncle Joe and Aunt Ollie SIMMONS took them into their home for tender and constant care." 5 Mar 2009 Page 9

In Fence Lake, New Mexico Area, Families & History her Daughter-in-law Ruth (BOYETT) LINK entered this story about her. "Mrs. LINK moved from Ruston, Louisiana with her parents and sisters to Texas when she was a little girl. She was living in O'Brien, Texas when she married John Henry LINK whom she later divorced. Mrs. LINK knew when her four babies were very small that she was going to have to rear them alone and with determination and perserverance she did just that. It was an awesome task because she was not physically strong, had no property or wealth. She taught the children to work hard and instilled in them a sense of intergrity and self-worth and strong family ties. She was blessed with a creative talent for art and for sewing. The oldest daughter, Virginia BRUTON, had moved with her husband, Major, to Fence Lake to homestead and the other LINKs followed them there in 1932. After 24 days on the road in a covered wagon the family arrived on July 10th. Mrs. LINK was practically 5 Mar 2009 Page 30

penniless. But she soon learned that except for a few World War I pensioners, the other homesteaders were practically penniless, too.' 'Where's the Water The Bell, Shields and Walker families had access to a dug shallow well but the other homesteaders had to find water any way they could. At first the LINKs hauled water from old Fence Lake in barrels via wagon and team. First they had to catch the horses; the trip to the lake was 3 or 3 1/2 miles from home. Then about 1935 the Fence Lake dried up and water was brought from Atarque Lake in barrels by Frank SPARKMAN who had a truck. He charged 50 per barrel for hauling. Money to pay the freight bill came from Mrs. LINKs (known to her grandchildren as 'Mama LINK') egg and cream money. The next chapter in the water story found the LINKs hauling their water from Joe AKARD's dirt tank of dam; this went on for some time and it was good to have water this close to home. If "Ole Whiteface" wanted a drink she would place her forelegs up in the wagon and help herself to the water. Of course when there was rain or snow the people would store as much it as possible and that helped out with the water problem. Finally the LINKs became affluent enough to acquire a stripped-down Model T and that water was taken from Joe's tank to Mrs. LINK's home to make the adobe bricks for her new two-bedroom home which replaced her old picket house. It was about 1935 when Mr. MEDLOCK drilled the first water well in the village of Fence Lake. It lasted about a year before giving out. Then about 1939, Curly WINNEGAR brought in a good well there at 400 feet. Still later Charlie drilled on down to 700 feet and this well is still pumping water in 1984. Most of the homesteads have their own wells now also. By Ruth (BOYETT) LINK".
