    Notes:


    1800 Census, 25 Mile Pond, Kennebec Co, ME, p. 1326.

    Elijah Simmons [4 in household]
    1 male under 10 [b. 1790-1800]
    1 male 16-26 [b. 1774-1784]
    1 female under 10 [b. 1790--1800]
    1 female 16-26 [b. 1774-1784]

    Elijah Simmons [age 50/60 in 1830 census, born 1770-1780] made a will on Jan 19, 1846. It was in Probate court on 20 Oct, 1851. He mentioned his loving wife, but did not name her. Ted Lymer of Trenton, MO thought her name was Hannah [possibly Douglas]. Elijah named the following children to inherit the estate. Elisha [this is Elisha D. , our man]$80. Russell, $80 ::: Phebe $15.::: Lydia $20::: Ruth $50::: The rest divided between Elizah/Elijah and Thaddeus, who were the executors. In the settling of the will, Rebecca Bigler was also named.
    Will #1667-05

    Mercer Co. PA

    In 1850 Census of Mercer Co. PA
    Elijah Simmons , born about 1872, Plymouth , Hanover, Mass
    [died 1851 Delaware twp, Mercer Co, PA]

    Hannah Simmons his wife born about 1777, Maryland
    [died 23 Oct 1856, Mercer Co, PA ]

    [James Simmons age 40/50 in 1830 census is probably the brother of the
    above Elijah Simmons.In his will made in 8 Jan 1834, James names his wife
    Hannah, and sons James, David, and Jeremiah.
    And daughters Letty, Lucinda Mary, Eliza, Hannah Mahala, and Lavina
    or maybe the name is Laura .It was impossible to tell if Lucinda Mary was
    one daughter or two, and whether Hannah Mahala was one daughter or two..]

    No, not quite. Our Russell b 1816 or so was probably the son of Elijah Jr, son of Elijah and Ruth Russell. Of course, we had to be related to the only son of Elijah Sr who doesn't seem to have left a will. I am still working, slowly, on writing up the notes to demonstrate a circumstantial case.

    ______________________

    Whoa! Wait a minute. Elijah Simmons, Sr., had only one son? Not the way I read the censuses.

    Elijah probably was the first child of Libbeus and Mary [Douglas] Simmons. He m. Ruth Russell 25 Aug 1796, in Middleborough, MA. They had one son by 1800, probably the Elijah [Jr.] who married Rachel [surname unknown] from FRANCE.

    1800 Census, 25 Mile Pond, Kennebec Co, ME, p. 1326.

    Elijah Simmons [4 in household]
    1 male under 10 [b. 1790-1800]
    1 male 16-26 [b. 1774-1784]
    1 female under 10 [b. 1790--1800]
    1 female 16-26 [b. 1774-1784]

    ____________________

    Elijah Sr.'s 1810 census listing hasn't been found yet -- and it may never be. He could have been missed by the enumerator or the page with his listing could be missing for some reason.

    ____________________

    By 1820, he had a pretty full household. However, I don't think we really can say for sure whether Ruth Russell or his second wife, Hannah [surname unknown], was the mother of all of them.

    1820 Census, Delaware Twp, Mercer Co., PA, p. 211:

    Elijah Simmons [9 in household]
    2 males under 10 [b. 1810-1820]
    1 male 10-16 [b. 1804-1810]
    1 male 16-18 [b. 1802-1804]
    2 males 16-26 [b.1794-1804]*
    1 male over 45 [b. bef 1775]
    1 female under 10 [b. 1810-1820]
    1 female 10-16 [b. 1804-1810]
    1 female 26-45 [b. 1775-1794]

    *One of these males is also in the 16-18 age range; 16-26 was added to the census for military purposes.

    The way I see it, those in the household had to be Elijah Sr. & wife, Elisha, Russell, Rachel, Pheobe, Elijah, Thaddeus and ________?
    ____________________

    1830 Census, Delaware Twp, Mercer Co., PA, p. 199:

    Elijah Simmons [6 in household]
    1 male 10-15 [b. 1815-1820]
    1 male 20-30 [b. 1800-1810]
    1 male 50-60 [b. 1770-1780]
    1 female 5-10 [b. 1820-1825]
    1 female 15-20 [b. 1810-1815]
    1 female 50-60 [b. 1770-1780]

    Elisha D. Simmons [b. 1800-1810], Lebbus Simmons [b. 1790-1800], James Simmons [b. 1780-1790] and James Simmons [b. 1800-1810] all on the same census page.
    ____________________

    Like almost everyone but Russell, Elijah Sr. doesn't seem to want to be found on the 1840 census. I figure they all were in Missouri -- somewhere.
    ____________________

    But both Elijah Sr. & Jr. came back to Pennsylvania, where Senior died in 1851.

    1850 Census, Delaware Twp., Mercer Co., PA, p. 459B, Dwelling #362, Family #365, enumerated 16 Nov 1850:

    Elijah Simmons, 78, No real estate, Massachusetts
    Hannah, 73, Maryland

    And, next door, in Dwelling #363, Family #366:
    Elijah Simmons, 57, Farmer, $200 real estate, b. Massachusetts
    Rachel, 46, b. FRANCE
    ____________________

    And, by 1860, Elijah Jr. and Rachel had moved across the boarder in to Ohio.

    1860 Census, Jefferson Twp, Ashtabula Co, OH, p. 96, Dwelling #393

    Elijah Simmons, 62, farmer, $600 real estate, $350 personal prop, Maine
    Rachel, 56, FRANCE
    ____________________

    Elijah Jr. who was born in 1797-98 certainly couldn't be the father of Elisha who was born in 1804 or Thaddeus born 1800-1810.

    And the will of Elijah Simmons that Helen found [written 1846, probated 1851] pretty well establishes Elisha and Thaddeus were Russell's brothers. And since Elijah Junior was still alive in 1860, the will had to be that of Elijah Senior.

    I think Trueman is right. However, If I'm missing something or have strayed off base, someone please let me know.
