In researching the family, I of not, across the name Burleen, and I suspect that it might have actually been Berlin, which German speakers would have pronounced more like Bear-lean. Death: 20 JUN 1934 in Windsor, Henry County, Missouri Note: He was buried at Hickory Point Cemetery. Apparently, he committed suicide by shooting himself, according to his death certificate. Census: 1880 Sullivan County, Missouri Isaac is listed in Clay Twp, 4 June 1880, page 218. He said he was age 28, born PA, his father born NJ and his mother IN. Compare with listings for Russell Simmons. In 1880, Mary A was age 26, born NY, her father born KY and her mother OH. Children were given as Lavinia age 11, John T age 7, Sarah W 5, Edward B 2, James S 9/12, b Sep. From Lillie Shipp's information, there may have been two other girls. Census: 1900 Pettis County, Missouri He is in E. D. 96, Sheet 3. He lived in Dresden Village, and the census was taken 14 June 1900. Isaac Simmons born Nov. 1851, said he had been married 31 years. He was born in Ohio, his father in Pennsylvania and his mother in Ohio. He was a farmer living on a rented farm, and he and his wife could read and write. His wife, Mary A., was born Dec. 1853, and was the mother of eight children with five living. Still at home were John D., Edward B., and Levi I. Census: 1910 Johnson County, Missouri Johnson County is adjacent to Pettis County. I found this on page 170, E.D. 115, sheet five. They were in Post Oak Township, listed on the 20 and 21 April 1910. Isaac was 58, born Ohio, and both of his parents born Ohio. Mary was 56 born Missouri. Isaac was of farmer, owned of mortgage farm. Both he and his wife could read and write. Mary said she had eight children, four of them living. They had been married forty years. Their son, John, lived next door to them. Note that I did not find Isaac in 1920 in Windsor Township in 1920. Event: Living 7 NOV 1891 Pettis County, Missouri I imagine they had lived in Pettis County for a while, before moving to the Windsor area. At this time, Isaac gave consent to the marriage of his daughter, Sarah.

    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..]

    Lou wrote:

    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]

    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.
