Simmons Genealogy
I have 2 sets of parents for William Bartlett:
1)N.M. Simmons, maybe Nathaniel?, of North Carolina but cannot find him yet!
My grandmother always said NM Simmons...
2) I have found a William P. Simmons married to a Nancy M. ? and all the data seems to fit so I am assuming that his father was William P. Simmons. William P. and family are listed in census's in Fayette County Tennessee. William B. Simmons is also on a 1850 Fayette County Census living with parents William P and Nancy M....
Family notes tell that William B.'s father was a Methodist Minister in Tennessee.
