Comments in a letter from Audrey Simms to Diane Crane Benelli, August 17, 1999
"Daniel Simms and his wife Virginia came from Albemarle County, VA (same county as my grandmother Lynn). They settled on the mountain above Rainelle. Later the mountain was named for them." "Daniel had four brothers. They were Alexander Henry, John, Charlie and Al. Henry settled on Sewell Mountain and is buried in the Sims Cemetery (Loops Road). John is thought to have settled in Clay or Nicholas County. Charlie is in Kanawha County. Al is thought to have settled in Kentucky."
