| Notes |
- Some online genealogies have his name as Seth Simmons. However, he probably was named after his uncle Simon Simmons, mentioned as a son in the 1750 will of William Simmons (Simmans) of Little Compton.
In the Federal census of 1790, a Simon Simmons is living at Hartland, Winsor Co., VT. Also listed there is a Joseph Simmons. In the same town is listed Joseph Remington, brother of Abigail. Joseph Remington became a Revolutionary War Pensioner; one of his sons was named Simon Simeon Remington, probably named after this uncle.
In the Federal Census of 1800, Simon Simmons is still listed at Hartland, VT.
He is probably Simon Simmons b c 1740 s/o Ichabod Simmons and Experience Pierce (see alden.org website and Rootsweb's Worldconnect).
