There is a cloud over her Mary Simms Davenport Genealogy. I have found there is different information on the internet and information written by other people. Some people research this family and other people take it of the internet. A family researcher told me nothing is correct until it is proven. This is proof of who our Mary Simms was. The reason is because it was documented.
