    Notes:

    In A.C. Sims' memoirs of the Civil War, he tells that he joined up with General Hood's Texas Regiment in Georgia after the death of this twin brother, Hub in Arkansas. His elder brother, Tom, was an officer in the Confederate Army. A.C. suffered much illness during the period he was in Georgia. Upon the end of the fighting, he returned home to East Texas where he was a teacher and later a Baptist Minister.

    He first married Rachell Segrest, and on the 1870 Tyler County census, they were living in the home of Rachell's father, Jacob Segrist. About 3 months after the birth of Apless Arabella, Rachell died, leaving A.C. with 5 children under the age of 10. He later married Fannie Allen, and they had 5 more children.

    His last will and testament was very simple:

    State of Texas Jasper, Jasper County 21 January 1903

    To all whom it may concern: Know by these prescence that it is my will that my beloved wife F.A. Sims after my decease shall retain full possession of all that is called mine as a means of support until her death provided, however, she remains single. In the event that she should marry again or die, all properties in anywise belonging to me be equally divided between my ten children. Written with mine own hand this 21 day of January A.D. 1903.

    A.C. Sims
