I am searching for information on Lewis and Arenda (Babb) Sims. Lewis died in 1900 or 1901 and Arenda (also referred to as Arinda and Amanda in various databases)died in the 1890s (her tombstone was broken at the point of the exact year of death). Lewis is the son of Hiram and Mary (Abercrombie) Sims, and Arenda is the daughter of Kellett and Rebecca (Abercrombie--sister to Mary) Babb. I am searching for Bible records or any other record that lists Arenda as the daughter of Kellett and Rebecca Babb. Lewis and Arenda are buried in Providence Cemetery in Delta, AL.
Lewis and Arenda were both born in Laurens County, SC and traveled to Henry County, GA, where they were married in 1837. They moved to Chambers County, AL and then moved to Clay County in the late 1850s, where they remained until their deaths. I am hoping to locate a Sims descendant with a family Bible or other documents.
My line is Lewis Saxton Sims>John Adams Sims>John Alvin Sims>Mancil Sims>Roy Sims>me
All were buried at Providence Cemetery in Delta, AL, except for my grandfather, Mancil, who was buried in the Ashland City Cemetery. My father is very much alive and resides in AZ, as do I.
