Hi Alice,
I don't much think we have a connection. I have
information on two William Sims and one James A. Sims.
The first William Sims homesteaded 40 acres of land in
northern Marshall County in 1859. He is too old for
your William. The second is William Nathan Sims born
1858 in Marshall County. He was the son of John
Alexander and brother of James Albert Sims. He married
Neaty Jane Buchanan. His decendants are pretty well
known, so I doubt he is the one. James Albert Sims was
my g grandfather. Born in 1851, he married (1)Nancy
Susan Ann Wilkerson in 1873, (2)Christian Ann Duvall
in 1882 after Susan died, (3)He married Deliah Lawson
in 1892 after Christan Ann died. There is quite a bit
of information about these Sims to be found at

This is a mapped location of early homestead patents
in Marshall County. The county map will take a while
to load. It is big. Then clicking on any number in
blue will give details about that individual and the
homestead claim. Of course I will be glad to share any
information I have with you. Contact me at
