Biography

Research Notes

There is a dispute over the parents of William Simmons (either John and Mary or William and Mary). His mother's maiden name is not known at this time, but this profile had been attached as his mother at one point. But so was husband William - who was born in Massachusetts. His profile has been detached from this one. (No marriage information was lost - there was none.) John and Mary Young's profiles have been detached from William Simmons because the parents were William and an unknown Mary. The will of 1677 is the will of Mary Simons, widow of Mary. "Mary Simmons of Burcher Swamp, Surry County, VA., whose will is dated April 16th, 1677 and probated May 7th, 1678, mentions son William and granddaughter Mary, and leaves legacies to John Rutherford and Francis Gregory, both of whom were of Bacon's men."^[1][2]
