| George Washington Simmers son of Daniel Simmers and Margaret Stuart |
One of the George Simmers' who appear in U.S. Census, and other records, is the following: George W. Simmers (George Washington Simmers), was married Two times, and possibly more. First, to Lizzy A. (?) Simmers, and the children of this union were the following: James B. Simmers; George W. Simmers; Sarah Simmers; Edward S. Simmers; Thomas Willard ("Tim") Simmers; Mary E. Simmers, who married Wallace Parfet; Hiram ("Hyde") Simmers; and G. Murch Simmers! He next married Elizabeth Henrietta (nee Kolb) Simmers, and had two children: Margaret, b. 1885 d. 1885; and Charles Kolb Simmers, b. 6-25-1886, who married + Mabel Rose Edwards, of Harrisburg, and they had three Children. (Mabel Edwards was daughter of Thomas Edwards and Mary Harriet Phillips, of Harrisburg.) George W. (Washington) Simmers was the son of Daniel Simmers, originally of Baltimore MD. and Margaret Stuart, of Ireland. Margaret (nee Stuart) Simmers, later married Richard C. Sheridan, and they had daughter, Sarah Sheridan, who married John R. Hamilton, of Harrisburg, and they had three children. John R. Hamilton was the nephew of Richard C. Sheridan, and at one time lived with Richard, as did John's mother Elezabeth A. Sheridan, in Richard Sheridan's home. An address that appears common to all of these people is 322 and 324 Hamilton, Harrisburg, PA. Also there, addition to these, is a Mrs Mary Sheridan, at the same address! At this time, it is unknown whether she is Richard Sheridan's mother, sister, or perhaps, the above mentioned wife, Margaret Stuart Simmers Sheridan? It is possible that Margaret Stuart was named, Mary Margaret, or Margaret Mary. There is some reason to believe that Daniel Simmers and Richard Sheridan were in business together, in Harrisburg, as either Simmers and Sheridan, or Sheridan and Simmers, and that this business was either as Grocers, or as distributors of Coal? Because Margaret Stuart was married to both men, her children, George Washington Simmers, and Sarah Sheridan were, therefore, "half" brother and half sister, to one another! Going on ....! Daniel W. Simmers married Margaret Stuart. (Daniel Simmers' Father is said to be Daniel, also. In fact, the story goes that Daniel Simmers had a son named, Daniel W. Simmers, who had a son, George Washington Simmers!) They had a son, George Washington Simmers, born between 1846 and 1850, at Colebrook Furnace, in Lebanon County, PA. (OR maybe it was, Colerain Forge Twnship, in Bedford County, PA! The Bedford CO. Census of 1810, for Bedford Twnship, lists a Daniel Simmers, with a wife and Two daughters. The 1840 Census for Colerain Township, lists a "Margaret Simmers", Age between 50 and 60, apparently, living alone! We don't know if this is her maiden name or married name? This is 6 to 10 years before George Washington Simmers is thought to have been born!} [Bedford County, PA, is also mentioned, prominantly, in accounts of the George ("a german") Simmers (b.1756) and Joseph Simmers, Family, found on its own Page, on this site. Is there a connection between these two Simmers Lines? We just don't know, yet! After a Time, perhaps we will!] George Washington Simmers and 1st wife Lizzie A. (?) Simmers Children: 1. James B.Simmers 2. George W. Simmers 3. Edward S. Simmers (May have died young?) 4. G.Murch (Simmers) 5. Hiram Simmers 6. Thomas Willard Simmers ("Uncle Tim") (married Grace Grayson) had 1. Charles Simmers, 2. Thomas Willard, and 3. Richard Simmers Thomas and Grace raised their Family in ID, until just before WWII, when they all moved to California! 7. Mary E. Simmers married Wallace Parfet, who worked for the U.S. Government in D.C. lived at 3008 1/2 "N" Street, Washington, D.C. {Parfet family were Welsh Coal Miners. from Lykins PA} 8. Sarah F. Simmers George Washington Simmers married again Elizabeth Henrietta "Lizzy" Kolb and had two children, one of whom, a girl, died young, and a boy, Charles Kolb Simmers. Charles married Mabel Rose Edwards of Harrisburg, and they had 3 children: 1. Richard Simmers, b. 1917 2. Charles Kolb Simmers, II, and 3. Margaret Lucille Simmers (Ellis). Family of Tom Simmers, of California! "I'm trying to link George Washington Simmers to two Daniel Simmers, a father and son! One is George's Father, the other, his Grandfather!
