a#BRITTONBRITTONa#COOPERCOOPERm#SIMMONSSIMMONS posted by Melvin Simmons on Tuesday, March 16, 1999

I am trying to trace my grandfathers background. Ben F SIMMONS was a farmer and had a farm near the Neuse River . He may have had a general store near by. He married a Minnie COOPER date unkown, whose mother was a mid wife. Her death date is unkown. The union produced 3 or 4 sons with who I know. B. F. SIMMONS died around 1943 or 4. He may have been born around 1868 or so. I heard my father speak of a cousin by the name of Schuster BRITTON, who played football for a scool in NC. My father spoke of Onslow County and the towns around the area. My Grandfather los the farm in the 30-s and rented tideal rights and oyster farmed at Topsail Beach. I remembered visiting his shack in the mid 30s. It was built over water so I supposed it was not a deeded property. This is my first attempt to trace the family and any help would be gratfully taken. Thank you.. Melvin Simmons .
