SIMMONDS and Some of Their Descendants with Related Ancestral Lines JOHN & SUSAN SIMMONDS and some of their descendants with related ancestral lines COMPILED BY FRANK WILLIAM SIMMONDS LIFE MEMBER or THE INSTITUTE or AMERICAN GENEALOGY /or the members of the family who are interested in family history PRINTED BY THE TUTTLE PUBLISHING COMPANY, INC. RUTLAND, VER.MONT PRINTED IN U. S. A., 1940 FRANK WILLIAM SIMMONDS CLARA BLANCHE (BURNS) SIMMONDS Taken 1937 Taken 1937 Dedicated lo my father ANGUS MACDONALD SIMMONDS and my mother CHRISTINA TILLMAN SIMMONDS courageous, industrious, sturdy self-reliant Kansas pioneers FAMILY COAT OF ARMS In earlier centuries Coats of Arms were regarded as "indispensable ap­ pend~ of gentlemen.'' The insignia used frequently signified qualifications or achievements of a man or a family. Acco~ to family tradition, the Coat of Arms shown above was carved above the fireplaces of the early York­ shire homes of the Simmonds family. In Burke's Records of English Heraldry, this family Coat of Arms is re­ corded as follows: "Az. a chev. or, betw in chief two roses ar, leaved vert. in base a cock of the third, combed, beaked and legged gu. Crest: a cock or combed, beaked and legged gu. '' This description covers first, the shield. On a background of blue there is placed a chevron in gold, above which are two roses in white on green leaves. Below the chevron is a cock in silver, combed, beaked and legged in red. The Crest reproduces the cock in the sa.me colors. The predominating insignia of the Coat of Arms is the cock. Wade, in hie Symbo'la of HeraMry, describes the cock as "A Bird of great coura.ge, always prepared for battle, it will frequently fight to the death. It is regarded as the herald of dawn -thus the emblem of Watchfulness. It h9..a also been used to denote a hero in the field of battle and also an emblem of an able man in nff airs of the country." The Chevron insignia traditionally is supposed to rei;,resent a roof and was often bestowed upon one who had offered shelter and protection to the King's ambassadors. · The rose as a Coat of Arms insignia is one of the oldest of emblems. It is traditionally symbolic of Love and Faith. While mottoes as a rule are not officially registered as a part of the Coat of Arms, in ~ractice they are often used. One, used with the above Coat of Arms, is DUM VIVO CANO - While I Live, I Crow, or a more fitting one frequently used, DUM SISTO VIGILO, meaning While I Stand, I Woten. APPRECIATION rrhe writer wishes to express his appreciation to all who assiste<l in securing the data herein presented and especially to his ~;re, Blanche Burns Simmonds, whose untiring industry and helpful­ ness in searching public records and collecting data over a long period of years, was of outstanding value. To her in a large measure belongs the credit for the preparation of the family history. But it was not ordained that she should live to Be(l> the work in printed form. With a pleasant smile, and a gentle wave of her hand, she left us on April 30, 1938, for another land. A biographical sketch of her, and her family lineage, appears in this record. The writ,er also expresses his appreciation for valuable assist­ ance given by Dr. Matthew George Burris of Dartmouth, N.S., Canada, and Harold Simmonds Davis of Riverside, Conn., and Mrs. Ruth McCurdy Byers of Truro, N. S., Mr. and Mrs. James Peppard of Great Village, N. S., and Judge S. G. McLellan of Truro, N. S. Every reasonable care has been taken to make the record a,..'-; accurate as possible, but doubtless in the collection of data from many sources, and their transcription many times preparatory to publication, here and there some errors in data may appear. If so, the writer will appreciate having it called to bis attention so that correction may be made in any future publication of thP family record. If any one can trace relationship to any one mentioned in this book, he can trace his line back several centuries. Every young couple should keep a permanent record of family mar­ riages, births, deaths, etc. For this purpose several blank record pages are included in th~ back of this book for the owner to record his own family record. Frank W iUiam Si-mrnonds Flemington, New Jersey 1940 EXPLANATION OF CROSS-INDEX PLAN The cross-index plan used in this family record is a simple one. 1 The Arabic numbers in the left-hand margins enumerate in order the descendants of John and Susan Simmonds. 2 The Arabic numbers at the head of each family chapter enumerate the families in order. 3 The Roman numerals: the number of children in a given family. 4 An asterisk (*) before a number indicates further informa­ tion later in the text where the name and issue of the individual may be found. To trace back the line of descent, take for example the name of Margaret Simmonds Moreau. The Roman III shows she is the third child of Daniel Howard and Lillis Dale Simmonds Moreau. The chapter number of this family is 291. Now tum to number 291 in the marginal enumeration where it is shown that her mother is the daughter of Frank W. and Margaret Dale Boughman Simmonds. Repeat this process with each genera­ tion. When an asterisk(*) precedes a number it indicates additional information in the line of descent. For example, take the name of William Henry Simmonds with starred marginal number, 29. Tum back in the book to the chapter number 29 where bis children will be found listed. Then for example, take the name of one of his children, Angus MacDonald Simmonds with starred number, 98. Turn to family chapter number 98 where you will find his children listed, etc., etc. CONTENTS PART I Page Introduction 9 Nova Scotia 21 Kansas 33 Smith County, Kansas . 37 First Generation . 53 Second Generation 53 Third Generation 63 Fourth Generation 71 Fifth Generation . 97 Sixth Generation . 131 Seventh Generation 146 PART II Outline of Ancestral Lines 153 Burrows (Burris) Family 155 Collier Family 165 Doane Family 165 Freeman Family 166 Hopkins Family 175 Mayo Family 177 Paine Family l78 Peppard Family 180 Raymond Family 182 Reynolds Family . 183 Snow Family 187 Southworth Familv., 187 Tillman Family 188 Treat Family 202 Indices 207 LIST OF.

Yet they hold for us an abiding, ever­ present interest in the lives, manners, custon1s, adventures, achievements and abodes of those from whom we are descended. Benjamin FrankJin has said that he was always deeply in­ terested and doubly thrilled whenever he read anything pertaining to his ancestors. Doubtless this is true of every normal member of the human family. It could scarcely be otherwise, for every fibre of our being, every phase of our personality is indelibly rooted in our ancestral lines. Their physical characteristics and mental attributes, their abilities and inhibitions, their energies and their apathies, their successes and their failures, their strength and their weakness, their joys and their griefs - all in a sense are part and parcel of our ancestral inheritance, coloring and characterizing our very being. In fact, they are our lengthened shadows, reaching back into the mystic past. Goethe, in speaking of ancestors, well says, "What you have inherited from your fathers, you must earn for yourself before you can call it your own." Edmund Burke says, "People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors," and Plutarch observes, that, "It is indeed a desirable thing to be well descended but the glory belongs to our ancestors." My interest in ancestral lore was early awakened by occasion­ ally hearing Grandfather Simmonds, when he was in the mood, reminisce in an interesting manner on the events of bygone days and family kinship as we sat about the fireside during the Ion~ winter evenings at my father's farm home in Western Kansas. His experiences were wide and varied - ru:; mariner, shipbuilder, veteran of the Civil War and pioneer in Western Kansas-a native of Nova Scotia who emigrated to Maine, then removed to Ohio, thence to Iowa and finally W estem Kansas, then on the outer fringe of Western civilization.

  • A General Model of Illicit Market Suppression A
    ALL THE SHIPS THAT NEVER SAILED: A GENERAL MODEL OF ILLICIT MARKET SUPPRESSION A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government. By David Joseph Blair, M.P.P. Washington, DC September 15, 2014 Copyright 2014 by David Joseph Blair. All Rights Reserved. The views expressed in this dissertation do not reflect the official policy or position of the United States Air Force, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. ii ALL THE SHIPS THAT NEVER SAILED: A GENERAL MODEL OF TRANSNATIONAL ILLICIT MARKET SUPPRESSION David Joseph Blair, M.P.P. Thesis Advisor: Daniel L. Byman, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This model predicts progress in transnational illicit market suppression campaigns by comparing the relative efficiency and support of the suppression regime vis-à-vis the targeted illicit market. Focusing on competitive adaptive processes, this ‘Boxer’ model theorizes that these campaigns proceed cyclically, with the illicit market expressing itself through a clandestine business model, and the suppression regime attempting to identify and disrupt this model. Success in disruption causes the illicit network to ‘reboot’ and repeat the cycle. If the suppression network is quick enough to continually impose these ‘rebooting’ costs on the illicit network, and robust enough to endure long enough to reshape the path dependencies that underwrite the illicit market, it will prevail. Two scripts put this model into practice. The organizational script uses two variables, efficiency and support, to predict organizational evolution in response to competitive pressures.

  • 1 the Importance of the Free African Americans Role
    The Importance of the Free African Americans Role in the Delaware Underground Railroad By: Maegan Proctor Undergraduate at Wesley College Dover, Delaware During the Antebellum period, the Underground Railroad operated from the Deep South to Canada as a method for fugitive slaves to escape from bondage. Delaware was the last slaveholding state that these brave men and women had to cross through before they reached freedom. History is often skewed when researching the Underground Railroad. It emphasizes the white Americans who allowed their homes and businesses to be used as stops. However, attention is rarely given to those brave free African Americans that were critical in the operation of the Underground Railroad. The free African American population in Delaware was absolutely critical to the operation of the Underground Railroad, and without them, many historians argue that there would have been far less successful passages into the North. After the Revolutionary War, Delaware had already begun to make changes to its policies on slavery. The three counties in Delaware were notably different in their views on slavery. New Castle County was the most urbanized part of Delaware, and was bordered by the two free states, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Kent County had a number of plantations, including those of Caesar Rodney and John Dickinson, two prominent political figureheads in Delaware. Kent County had a small number of slaves, even after the Constitution was signed. Sussex County is Delaware’s southern most county. It shares the Delmarva peninsula with Virginia and Maryland, both of which maintained the practice of slavery and served as a model for Sussex County’s slave holding practices.

  • Lincoln and the Execution of a Slave Trader, 1862 Introduction Questions
    1 Lincoln and the execution of a slave trader, 1862 Introduction This stunning document, a refusal of clemency for a convicted slave trader, stands out among the papers of Abraham Lincoln, a man renowned for his mercy and willingness to pardon. In November 1861, Nathaniel Gordon was convicted of slave trading and sentenced to hang. Participation in the slave trade had been punishable by death since 1820, but Gordon was the first man to be executed for the crime. Between 1837 and 1860, seventy-four cases relating to the slave trade had been tried in the United States, but very few men were convicted, and even then they received only light sentences. Only one other slave trader had been sentenced to death, but he received a full pardon from President James Buchanan in 1857. Gordon’s friends and supporters approached Lincoln, as the President wrote, “to commute the said sentence of the said Nathaniel Gordon to a term of imprisonment for life.” Lincoln declined, writing that it was his “duty to refuse.” He did, however, delay the execution for two weeks, to allow the prisoner time to make “the necessary preparation for the awful change which awaits him.” Lincoln’s unwavering refusal to grant Gordon clemency is a testament to his intolerance of slavery. At noon on February 21, 1862, Nathaniel Gordon was brought to the gallows in New York City. Both the death warrant and Lincoln’s refusal to commute the sentence were read aloud, and then he was hanged. The article from Harper’s Weekly below describes the case, Gordon’s attempted suicide, and the execution.

The incoming Fundy tides are so significant that twice a day they temporarily reverse the flow of several rivers that typically flow into the Bay. When the tide and Salmon River collide, a wave (tidal bore) naturally forms and travels upriver around a predicted time. As the river fills up, the tidal bore eventually dissipates, and the river’s flow returns back towards the bay. This wonder of nature can be seen here! The time of the Tidal Bore can vary several minutes either way, depending on weather and conditions.

  • James Buchanan and the Suppression of the Slave Trade, 1858-1861
    JAMES BUCHANAN AND THE SUPPRESSION OF THE SLAVE TRADE, 1858-1861 By ROBERT RALPH DAVIS, JR.* HE suppression of the African slave trade is one of the nmo.t Tsignificant achievements of the American people. President Abraham Lincoln's administration, however, often receives fudl credit for those measures which finally terminated the barbaric commerce. Although the new Republican government did much ill this respect, it is mistaken to suppose that effective action against the slave trade began with Lincoln's inauguration. In fact, the five years of Lincoln's Presidency were no more vital to the sup- pression of the illegal trade than were the preceding four years. The slave trade legislation promulgated during the Buchanan regime continued and substantially fortified a movement which had its inception in the first decade of the nineteenth century. On March 2, 1807, President Thomas Jefferson signed the "Act to prohibit the importation of slaves into any port or place within the jurisdiction of the United States" after January 1, 1808.1 With this law on the books, many hoped that "the hideous suffer- ings undergone by these poor creatures in their transit across the Atlantic had at last drawn down the reprobation of humanity" uponi the traders.2 But since Congress provided no special ma- chinery to enforce it, the act proved difficult to implement. The Treasury Department, as well as the Navy, State, War, and In- terior Departments, all took their turns as policing agencies2 After 1808, Congress passed numerous amendments and supple- ments to the law, including the significant act of May 15, 1820.
