Biography

Sally was the daughter of James Sims and Elizabeth Nalle. Her brother and Guardian, Edward Sims, filed the Final inventory of Sally's Estate in Oct 1809 stating that she had reached the age of 21 and this was used to determine her birth date of 1788.

Salley m. John Fray on 19 Mar 1811 in Madison Co., VA.

She was alive when listed in an 1832 Chancery Court Case. Her husband, John, remarried 15 Feb 1837 so it is presumed that Sally had passed before that.
