Aldonia Simmons

William Simmons, the father of most all of the Simmons of Sampson County, was born in the eastern part of Sampson County, near Faison, N. C. In early life he married one Penny Winn, of Wayne County, N. C. William Simmons is now dead, but he has often told the writer that he was of pure white and Indian descent, and judging from his features and general characteristics, we are quite sure that his statements were true, he having long black hair, and prominent cheek bones, and his color corresponding very strikingly with the real Indian. His wife is living, and resides near Clinton, N. C. James Simmons, one of the sons of William and Penny Simmons, is a very prominent farmer, and has accumulated quite a lot of real estate; also his other brothers have shown a good share of industry, which has resulted in a similar accumulation. Percy Simmons married the daughter of Hardy A. Brewington.
