Hello Kaye!

 

Thank you for your interest!  Col. Richard Sims was my great-great grandfather as well, on my maternal side.  His second wife, Susannah Caroline Paulett, hailed from a very distinguished family going back to the Marquess of Winchester.  Her grandfather, Richard Paulett, served in the Revolutionary War, as did many other family members.  Through the Paulett line, we tie in with the Meriwether family, and related branches.

 

The Crawford’s come in on Susannah Caroline Paulett’s side.  I am extremely interested in the Sims’ information you have.  Jeanette, from Georgia Pioneers was kind enough to trace him back to Robert Sims, but I have not found anything further than that.

 

I will only go back as far as William H. Crawford’s grandparents, but I can go back much further, if you need it.  Our Crawford line goes back to the days of William Wallace, the famed Scottish patriot.  William H. Crawford’s sister was Ann Crawford Barnett, who was Susannah Paulett’s grandmother.  After Ann’s husband, William Barnett died, William H. Crawford was assigned as the minor children’s legal guardian.  I have copies of some very interesting papers, including the above-mentioned assignation of duties.  Harriet’s brother, Nathan Crawford Barnett, served as the Secretary of the State of Georgia for over 40 years.

 

Please let me know what else you may need in the way of family information.  Like I said, I have a wealth of verifiable information related to the Crawfords, and even quite a few of the Barnetts, as well as the Paulett side, which is fascinating in and of itself.
