Biography

Edward Harrison Sims was born in 1812 to Irish-born Edward Sims & Jennie Thompson. He married Martha Evaline Morris in South Carolina 22 Feb 1838. The Couple was married about 27 years until his death in 1865. The 1850 Federal Census states they were farming in Cherokee Co., GA with 5 children. The 1860 Federal Census states they were farming in Winston Co., AL with 8 children. During their marriage, they had 12 children total. However, Records of Civil War Soldiers indicate Edward returned to fight with Confederates in South Carolina in 1861: Co D, 2nd Infantry Regiment of SC.

"Civil War Death: Some of the grandchildren state their grandfather came home shortly before the Civil War was over (1865?) and was captured by some scouts who were in the area. The (Union) scouts marched him all the way back to somewhere around Rome, Ga., barefooted. His death was shortly after this forced march. At this time no one is sure where he was buried."
