Diodamy (ca 1790-after 28 September 1850) ♦♦♦ Alternate Dates
David Simms, Diodamy's first husband, was born 15 November 1767 in Georgia. According to Annie Julia Mims Wright's A Record of the Descendants of Isaac Ross and Jean Brown and Allied Families 'Thomas Sims, James Sims and David Sims were brothers, who their parents were is yet a conjecture but their father was probably James Sims and their mother Rebecca Sims. Thomas Sims and his family came to Mississippi about 1805. He patented 250 acres of land on Cole's creek in Jefferson county in the same vicinity with his brothers James and David.'
Abigail Gibson Ross, David's first wife, was the daughter of Arthur Brown Ross and Hannah Conger. Abigail was born in South Carolina 6 December 1775 and she died in the Mississippi Territory in 1804. David and Abigail had three children together, Hannah, Arthur and Eliza. Abigail was the first person to be buried in Jefferson County's Beech Hill Cemetery. David would also be buried there.
David and Diodamy appear to have married after Abigail's death 12 May 1804 and before the conception of their son John, which would have been around April 1805 as John was born nine months later in January of 1806. John Milledge Simms (1806-1888) is my third great grandfather.
The household of David Simms in 1805 was comprised of two free white males over 21, one free white male under 21, three free white females and three slaves. Presumably David, Diodamy and David's three children by Abigail were members of the household.
David Simms is on the payroll of Capt. Eli Ross' Company in the 2d Regiment of Militia, Mississippi Territory, commanded by Lt. Col. Thomas Fitz Patrick, from Jan 12, 1807, when last mustered, to Feb 11, 1807. . . . Pay per month 5 dollars. Clothing due 2 dollars 57 cents. Amount due 7 dollars 57 cents.
David died 27 September 1807 in the Mississippi Territory. Diodamy's first child with William Holloway, Fielding, was born 22 July 1808.
The 1820 Covington MS census, enumerated 7 August, lists William's household as comprised of ten people: two males under 10, three males 10 thru 15 [John Simms was 14], one male 26 thru 44, two females under 10, two females 26 thru 44, and one male slave 26 thru 44.
The 1830 census lists William Holloway's household as comprised of one free white male 5-9, one free white male 10-14, one free white male 15-19, two free white males 20-29, one free white male 50-59, one free white female under 5, one free white female 5-9, one free white female 10-14, one free white female 15-19, one free white female 40-49, and a slave.
The 1840 census lists one male 10-14, one male 15-19, one male 30-39, one male 60-69, one female 10-14, one female 15-19, two females 20-29 and one female 50-59. Four persons are employed in agriculture and there is one person over 20 who cannot read and write. Five slaves include two males under 10, one male 10-23, one male 36-54 and one female 24-35.
The 1841 Mississippi Census lists Holloways Fielding, Thomas, William [Sr] and George as heads of household in Covington County. There were three males and four females in William's household.
William and Diodamy continued in Covington County. At the time of the 1850 census, enumerated 28 September, the household was composed of William Holiway 73, farmer, value of real estate owned 1,000, born Va; Diodamy 60, born Tenn, cannot read or write; Mary Ann 35, born Miss, cannot read or write; and Henry 19, farmer, born Miss. William and Diodamy's son Thomas Holiway, a tavern keeper, is 27 and head of his own household.
Mary Ann Holloway was in the household of her brother Fielding in 1860. The 1880 Wesson, Copiah MS census lists David and Diodamy's son John Sims, 72, born in Georgia, father born in Georgia, mother born in Tennessee.
