Andrew H. Simmons (b. April 1848, d. Abt. 1940)
Notes for Andrew H. Simmons:
Middle name probably Hale or Hendon.Both Andrew Hale and Andrew Hendon
were friends of Asa Simmons, and Asa appears on both mens' wills.
Asa probably had a sister named Margaret (b. 1802) who married Andrew
Hendon 1-6-1826 in Oglethorpe Co., Georgia.Hendon died in 1847 in
Troupe County, GA.They had four children.
Asa appears on Hendon's will, and Andrew H. Simmons (born less than a
year after Hendon's death)is probably named for Hendon.
Andrew moved from Georgia to Rockford, Coosa Co., Alabama with parents
between 1850 and 1860. Moved back to LaGrange, Troupe County, Georgia by
1870.
Between 1876 and 1877,Andrew, Fannie, and their three children had
moved back across the state line to Hickory Flat, a tiny little town in
Chambers County, Alabama.Asa, Martha, and their youngest son James
lived next door.Ida, Ophelia, Lucy, Henry, and Sam were all born in
Alabama.
Between 1885 and 1889, Andrew and his family moved to Robertson County,
Texas.Their last three children, Ola, Frank, and Carrie were born in
Texas.Son Jacob ("Jake") and newlywed wife Celia were living next door,
farming land that they leased from Andrew.
Andrew and his family remained in Robertson County until the mid 1900's,
when he moved to Clay County, southeast of Wichita Falls.They stayed
there for several years before moving on to Hall County in the panhandle
of Texas.Here Andrew and Fannie rented a farmhouse where they lived
with their 40-year-old widowed daughter Ida Ellis and her four children:
Andrew, Mary, Horace, and Otho.
Fannie died in 1938, and Andrew about 1940.
