Biography

First Generation

Very little information is known about Sarah. She was the wife[1] of Moses Simmons, married about 1632. She was the mother of his seven children and she died Bridgewater bef 17 Jun 1689[2] Sarah & Moses had seven children (born Duxbury): Rebecca (c1635), Moses (c1637), Mary (c1638), John (c1646), Sarah (1648), Elizabeth and Aaron (c1653).

Second Generation

Rebecca Simmons was born Duxbury abt 1635 and died there abt 1678. She married Duxbury abt 1656 John Soule and they had nine children (born Duxbury): Rebecca (c1657), James (1659), Sarah (c1660), Rachel (c1663), Aaron (c1664), Benjamin (c1665), Zachariah (c1669), Moses (c1672) and John (c1673).

Mary Simmons was born Duxbury abt 1638 and died Bridgewater aft 10 Mar 1697. She married Duxbury 1660 Joseph Alden and they had seven children (born Bridgewater): Sarah (1665), Isaac (c1666), Hopestill (1668), Joseph (1668), Mercy (1669), Elizabeth (1673) and John (c1674).

Sarah Simmons was born Duxbury abt 1648 and died there 17 Jun 1689. She married James Nash and they had at least Sarah b. 1669 Weymouth.

  1. ↑ At the present time, it is assumed she was the mother of all of Moses' children, but it is possible Moses may have had married multiple times.
  2. ↑ She was apparently not mentioned in her husband's will of this date.

DNA results TBD[1]

Previous Y-DNA testing

One individual in the Simmons Y-Chromosome DNA Surname Project Group: "Hap'group R1b1a2 - Not matching at a reasonable level in this project - need others to upgrade" stated Moses Simmons was their Most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA). This individual has not done any SNP testing and has only done Y37 STR testing. FTDNA predicted this individual falls into the R1b-M269 Haplogroup and the Nevgen Haplogroup Prediction tool was unable to refine the haplogroup any further.

HOWEVER, this individual has a break in their "paper-trail" genealogy and may not be a Y-DNA descendant of Moses Simmons (Symonson).

Further needed testing

We need patrilineal (all male-line) descendants of Moses Simmons to WGS/NGS test to confirm and further refine the haplogroup placement.

  • ↑ Conflicting information found in the Mayflower DNA Project Group: XX - Hopkins, Stephen YDNA/FF Tests has one individual also claiming Moses (Simmons) Symonson as their MDKPA, but their Y-67 STR result was predicted by FTDNA to fall under Haplogroup I-M253. HOWEVER, they are a 65/67 STR match to the Winslow family, so it appears likely a Non-Paternal Event (NPE) occurred.
