I have just gotten a start on them with daughter, Mary Sims-3123. go to the online source family history for more names and please add profiles.
I can't source or provide evidence of Elizabeth Howard being a spouse of Sims-36. there was also some possible confusion with Howard being mother of children of Wm Sims-99.
If Howard was 1st wife of Sims-36 that should be identified with the specific children-descendants. there should be records Culpeper, of those events.
Sims-36 marriage to Martha Ryan-4928 is given as early 1754 let me hear if you find something
