Early Simmers' in America -

{NOTE: We are not sure, at this time, what
the date 1656 refers to! It may be the date
that John Simmers arrived in Virginia, or
it may be his date of birth. We likewise do
not know from which country this John Simmers
came to Virginia, nor which ship he sailed on.}
We are grateful to Donna Paszek for supplying
this information, and at this time, the John
Simmers mentioned here, appears to be the
earliest known Simmers to immigrate to any of
the original colonies!
