Inscription
The Family Bible of Thomas Evans and Nary Ann Phillips provides information on this family. Eliza Ann was the first born of 8 children for this couple. They resided in Winyaw Bay, Georgetown Co., S.C.
Eliza Ann Evans married Dr. Joseph Morton Simmons 6 Sept 1838
They had 6 children that I know of —
Anna Elizabeth (10 Feb 1840—25 Feb 1840) . . . lived only 15 days
Mary E. (25 Apr 1841 — ) — probably died young as she does not show up in the 1850 census and there is a second child named "Mary" born later
Anne Eliza (25 Dec 1843 — 27 Feb 1907)
William H. (abt 1844 — aft 13 Jun 1860)
Mary H. (1846 - 1913)
Joseph Morton (abt 1849 - 7 Sep 1858) born about the time his father died.
1850 Census shows Eliza Simmons with only the last 4 children, living with her mother, Mary Evans and her brother Richard Evans, in George Town, SC.
Dr. Joseph Morton Simmons was born abt. 1819 in SC and died 19 June 1849
U.S. Federal Census Mortality Schedules, 1850-1885
Death at age 30, cause of death — "Fever" — 6 days ill
Several others listed before and after him also died of Fever — as a doctor, he would have been exposed on a regular basis if, as was the practice at that time, he was doing "bleeding" for treatment.
