  Notes	letter from sister, V. R. Taylor to M.E.Williams talks about Ma in negative tone Family history had her the granddaughter of Andrew Jackson, President of U. S. That is not true. Andrew Jackson had no children of his own. He adopted a son and named him Andrew Jackson Jr. and he adopted a niece of his wife. I also have a note that she might be the daughter of Andrew Jackson's uncle. I do not have the facts of that straightened out yet. I have records showing Andrew's father was named Andrew and records from the Daughters of the American Revolution showing his uncle's name was Andrew. Have not discovered the grandchildren of the uncle. I did discover her mother was Susan Jackson and Susan married Frederick Sims in Baldwin County, Ga. I am looking for a will of the Jackson's to discover who were the parents of this Susan. There were many Jacksons in that area of the time and I understand there are still lots of Sims & Jacksons in all the surrounding areas. I do have a slip of paper showing William DeLouch claimed land won in a lottery by Frederick Sims and his wife Susan, who was a widow at the time the land was claimed. I believe Sarah had a brother Fred because Bud and Austin Sims of the Falls Co., Texas area were cousins to the children of William & Sarah Sims DeLoach. Bud moved to Waco and I visited in their home in the 1940's. T. C. thinks Bud had a brother named RED. July, 2000 I have discovered Red was Austin C. Sims. He has a great-granddaughter in Chilton, Falls Co., Texas. Also, our grandmother Sarah was supposed to be related to the Lee's. Her daughter, Mary Olive (Aunt Sissy,) who lived until she was 97, (lived until about 1947) told the story of working in the Officer's club during the Civil War and meeting Robert E. Lee. They discussed their common ancestors. I do have a paper on a William Lea and Frederick Sims. I have forgotten what it was about. Also, there was a lady and her brother that lived in Beaumont, Texas that were related to us. My dad lived with them during War II. Her name was Mary Price and her brother was Tom. He was married to his niece Ora Mae Payne, but they divorced and had no living children. Mary or Tom owned some land around Jackson's Chapel, south of Malakoff, Henderson Co., Texas; but, they lost it to a squatter. The land was known to the local residents as the Judge Lee Land. (I have discovered the parents of Tom & Mary. Their mother was a Sarah Sims & we think a granddaughter of Frederick Sims & Susan Jackson.) There was a law suit over that, but I have not found the papers as of now. I wrote Talbot Co., Ga. for a marriage license for Sarah & William DeLoach, but did not receive a reply.
