1430 It is believed that Theophilus and Wife Mary Smith Simonton came to America
in about 1725 and landed in Lewes Delaware. They lived in Lewes where
Theophilus apparently worked with Mary's brother Archibald Smith.
Mary Smith Simonton's brother Archibald had settled in Lewes Delaware before
1713 and was a successful merchant. There are a lot of land
transactions on file in Delaware that were recorded by Archibald Smith.
Archibald Smith died in 1729 and left some land to Mary, his sister. It appears
that the Theophilus Simonton family sold this land and since Scotch-Irish
settlers were being welcomed and the possibility of land was available in the
territory of Pennsylvania the family moved to The Conestoga Manor,Township,Lancaster
Co, Penn. In the Court Records of 3 May 1737, Lancaster Co. PA a 51 year old Theophilus Simonton appears on the Tax List. This would make him being born in 1686 which would have been in North Ireland.
Theophilus Simonton came to this country with his entire family and
very possibly, a sister Jane Ann and a brother John. In Delaware records it
appears that Jane Ann Simonton married Robert Frame. John Simonton is shown
as a land owner around this period as well. Theophilus Simonton's children
appeared to be between 1 and 20 years old when they arrived in America. Theophilus is in the New Testament Bible and means "Friend of GOD". Conestoga Manor was established by the Penn Family and in the Manor of 18000 acres there was a 3000 acre area set aside as the Proprietiers and on this area Theophilus Simonton and his children cleared the land and established their Homes. Conestoga Manor was changed to Manor Township, Lancaster Co. PA in 1759 after the Simontons had gone to NC.

Theophilus was a farmer who worked his own land with his family and very
proudly referred to himself as a YEOMAN Farmer which means landowner and a
a person who works the land himself.The oldest child Theophilus II died in
Lancaster Co PA in 1750. In 1751 Tax list of Manor Township, Lancaster Co there
was a Tax of 4s.6d paid proving that Theophilus I was not the person whose
Will Jacket was dated 1750. The other children except for William, married in PA
and then went to Rowan Co NC around 1750-1754 and settled on land that was
available through Granville Land Grants and the Cost was much less than in PA.
After Theophilus Simonton I died in 1754 in Lancaster PA and was buried on his
land in PA, Mary his wife, and his son William, his youngest son and the
"grandchildren" came to Rowan Co. NC. We also believe that Daughter Mary
who married Samuel Thornton in Lancaster Co. PA and Patrick Duffey came with them at this time.
Patrick Duffey was a person who the Senior Theophilus Simonton brought over
from Ireland as he was a close friend of his family Or possibly a brother in Law
and so he worked for The Senior Theophilus in PA. Shortly after son William
came to Rowan Co, he married Mary McKee. Mary, Theophilus Simonton's wife
died in Rowan Co and she is buried in Statesville (Rowan) Iredell Co. Theophilus
Simonton's will was probated in Rowan Co but he died and he was buried in
Lancaster Co PA. He is buried on the land he so loved in a private Cemetery. Today there is a very small stand of trees in the middle of a beautifully tilled field just below where he lived.
Also one daughter, Ann who married Andrew Allison died in Lancaster, PA, USA. and is probably buried with her father as is her brother Theophilus II and wife. Ann's husband and children went to Rowan Co. PA. after Andrew Remarried in PA. Theophilus signed his own will in a very shakey hand and it was spelled "Theophilus Simontoun"
The other Simontons who came to New Jersey, other places in PA, Maine
and Delaware were undoubtedly Cousins or brothers as they all came from
North Ireland. It is possible that they descended from a John Simonton who came
to North Ireland in about 1630 and received 1000 acres in North Ireland during
the "Plantation" of Scots to North Ireland by the English during this time.
It can also be noted that around 1630 a John Symington who was the Baron of Symontoun, lost the Barony because of financial hardship and he sold his assets in Scotland and there was not further record in Scotland of this John. This is the reason it is believed he went to Ireland to start over. Undoubtedly there were numerous other Symingtons in Scotland that had moved to various places in Scotland and prospered.
The Barony of Symons Town was originally granted to Symon Locard (Lockart) in about 1140. This included lands in Ayreshire where there is a Church that is one of the oldest Churches in Scotland and still in use. It is belived that Symon Locard is buried under the Altar of this church. Also included in the Barony was the Town of Symington in Lankashire Scotland and possible as well in Kyle.
The Village of Symon Toun in Lanarkshire was thought to be the center of the Barony. this was lost by the Locard Family descendents in 1290 because the Baron Locard sided with the English King and signed the Ragman Roll. In the War between England and Robert the Bruce, Robert the Bruce won the war and took the barony and gave it to Richard Dixson who assisted the Black Douglas a close ally of Robert the Bruce in his battles. Richard Dixson was a descendent of a the Keith Clan and of the Douglas Clan and when he was awarded the Barony of Symons Toun, he was required to take the name of the Town. Therefore in 1306 the name of Symontoun was first originated. This name has numerous spellings which consist of Symington, Simonton, Symontoun and Simington and Simanton. It is also possible that various land holders before 1290 and after that took the name of the village as that was often a custom as well. An example would be "James" of Symonstoun" which develped as James Symonstoun etc.

1438 J.B. Carrington - 05/31/07
Posted: Thursday, May 31, 2007 8:40 am

J.B. Carrington passed away peacefully on May 30, 2007, after a long battle with Myelodysplastic Syndrome.

J.B. Carrington was born to Willie Mae Bailey and Jerome Bessery Carrington on March 31, 1926, in Milford. He was one of 10 children. His father passed away when the family was young and necessitated the four youngest children, including J.B., to be raised at the Corsicana State Home. The “Home” gave J.B. many more brothers and sisters, whom he loved and cherished. He played sports and coached football at the State Home. J.B joined the Army in 1944, serving in the Philippines, Japan and throughout the Pacific during World War II. He was honorably discharged with many commendations in 1946. J.B. returned to Corsicana to coach the State Home football team and to attend Navarro College. J.B. was a tackle on the 1948-1949 championship football team. His yearbook picture states “This boy never let down in a game.” J.B. applied that same ethic to his faith, marriage, family, friends and work. Also at Navarro, he was selected as Who’s Who and met Joan Long during chemistry class. Their love grew well beyond chemistry, and they were married in the chapel of First United Methodist Church in Corsicana on June 10, 1949. J.B. and Joan moved to Nacogdoches where he obtained his B.S. degree in history in 1950 and Master of Education degree in 1951. Blessed with their first child, Brenda Gail, on May 7, 1950, J.B. continued his coaching career at Diboll High School until 1953. He became head baseball coach and assistant football coach for Allen Military Academy of Bryan. J.B. was promoted to headmaster. Two more children joined the family, Kenneth Craig, on Dec. 10, 1954, and Kristi Kay on Oct. 8, 1964. J.B.’s role as headmaster blessed him with countless “sons” who were cadets at Allen Military Academy, while building lasting relationships with the faculty and staff at Allen. He and the family moved to Brenham in 1972, where he was dean of men at Blinn College. J.B. continued his dedication to the growth and development of young people, returning to Bryan to lead the Bryan/College Station campuses as dean. He adored many of the faculty, staff and students at Blinn where he continued to work until his retirement in 1991. But recall he “never let down in a game” and continued to work during retirement until 1996. J.B. was dedicated to faith, family, friends and country. He led by example and always kept God first in his life. He attended First United Methodist Church in Bryan and served as an usher for over 50 years. He loved his church family, especially the Men’s Bible Class. J.B. was a member of numerous service organizations, including Phi Delta Kappa, National Association of Secondary School Principals and Freemasons.

Visitation will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, June 1, at Hillier Funeral Home in Bryan. Services will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 2, at First United Methodist Church of Bryan. Burial will follow at the Bryan City Cemetery.

J.B. Carrington is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 58 years, Joan Long Carrington; children, Brenda and Ken Barnes of Florence, Ken and Judy Carrington of Frisco and Kristi Carrington Palmer of Coppell; grandchildren, Matthew Barnes, Holly Barnes, Clay and Beverly Carrington, Amanda Carrington and Blake Palmer; five great-grandchildren, Maizie, Erin, Ethan, Abigail and Chase; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins; his brothers and sisters acquired through marriage, Bobby and Patsy Long, Vance Long, Karen and Clifford Williams, Jenice and Willie Olsen, Linda and John Goodman, and Nancy and Fred Grant. He was preceded in death by his parents, four brothers and four sisters.

J.B. Carrington approached life with a deep love and sincere compassion for others, which allowed him to influence, develop and touch countless lives. He was a great husband, father, grandfather, friend and Christian.

In lieu of flowers please continue his legacy by contributing to the Blinn College J.B. Carrington Endowed Scholarship, 902 College Ave., Brenham, TX 77833 or to the Society of St. Stephen Fund at First United Methodist Church, 506 E. 28th, Bryan, TX.

May the Lord bless and keep you.

1440 JAMES CARRINGTON
James and Elizabeth (?) Carrington moved from South Carolina to Roane County, Tennessee, about 1824. They raised a family of 10 children in Roane County. The oldest son, John Jackson "Jack" married Hannah J. Burke on September 30, 1846. In the 1850's, Jack and Hannah with others from Roane County traveled by flatboat to Decatur County. In 1861, Jack, along with other Decatur Countians, enlisted in the Confederate Army. Records show that he served in Co. G of the 27th Infantry as a private and a sergeant. After the Civil War Jack moved his family to Perry County where records show him paying taxes on land along the Deer Creek in District 4. While in Perry County Hannah died and was buried in a cemetery near where they lived on Deer Creek. Their family consisted of 5 sons: Isaac, Mark Madison, James, John Jackson Jr., Thomas, and 2 daughters: Sarah and Susan. After Hannah's death, Jack married Mary Ann McMurry in Decatur County.

1441 James Forrest Lammers, 73, of Maumelle, Arkansas passed away on Tuesday, October 29th, 2019.

He was born November 23, 1945 and lived most of his life in the Little Rock area.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Mary Mack Rhodes Lammers; his mother, Margaret Louise Lammers; father, Harry A. Lammers; and brother, Charles Wayne Lammers.

He is survived by his daughter, Andrea Len Tharnish, son-in-law, Scott Tharnish and granddaughter, Addison Len Tharnish; son, John Dane Lammers and grandsons, Kyle Warren Lammers and Evan Mitchell Lammers, and his sister, Janet Lammers Charles.

Jim retired from ABF Freight after 35 years with a perfect safety record driving over 3 million miles of consecutive, accident-free driving.

He was a Veteran, having served in the U.S. Army before embarking on his career in transportation. He was an independent driver for many years before joining ABF. Even as a child, when asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, Jim’s answer was that he wanted to be a truck driver! For the duration of his career, Jim’s version of being a driver always included starched and ironed jeans and shirts and his cowboy boots. He took great pride in his occupation and had an incredible work ethic.

Jim was devoted to his family, treasuring and celebrating each of their accomplishments and victories with them. Although the loss of his wife had a huge impact on his life, he continued to celebrate the lives of his daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter. He came from a very close knit family and enjoyed their regular family gatherings.

Jim made many friends throughout his lifetime, including many of his neighbors in Maumelle, who regularly gathered in his garage to watch Cowboys football, play poker, watch NASCAR races, and adjourn to Ton’s Place to play shuffleboard.

Jim loved hunting and the outdoors. He was a member of the JolCo Hunt Club. One of the high points in his life was when his 12-year old daughter bagged her first deer, especially since the size of that one exceeded the size of all the others shot by the men that day!

Visitation will be at Griffin Leggett Rest Hills in Sherwood from 4:00-6:00 pm on Sunday, November 3. Funeral will be at 10:00 am at Rest Hills on Monday, November 4.

1443 James Perrin Lowrey
by J. M. Powell
On Sunday morning, March 31, I received a long distance telephone call from Mrs. M. H. Dandridge, telling me that her father, J. P. Lowrey had quietly passed away and that it was his request that I conduct the funeral service. The services were conducted in the beautiful church building in Senatobia, Miss., Tuesday morning, 10:30 o'clock, April 2, 1963. Brother Lowrey was ninety-one years of age, and had attended church services the Sunday before. For many years he had maintained a home in Geneva, Fla., where he had a splendid orange grove. Until five years ago he preached for the church in Geneva. He also preached at other places in the state. In Florida he lived in a lovely old home with his good friends, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Nichols, both of whom are faithful Christians and teachers in the public schools in the area. For the past two years, Brother Lowrey had been in failing health and he decided that it would be best for him to return to Senatobia, Miss., and live with his widowed daughter, Perrin Lowrey Dandridge. He had been there only one week before he passed away. Brother Lowrey was born in Falkner, Miss., and was a member of one of Mississippi's most distinguished families. For generations the Lowreys have distinguished themselves in military service, as preachers, educators and statesmen. Brother Lowrey was a true aristocrat. "He walked with kings but he never lost the common touch." In dress, in manners he was a Chesterfield. He was a Christian gentleman at all times. With dignity and poise he walked among the people and influenced all for good. He had been brought up in the Baptist faith, and in his early twenties began to preach. He came under the influence of M. H. Northcross and was soon converted to New Testament Christianity. He attended a school at Essery Springs, which was headed by A. G. Freed. From that time onward he and Brother Freed were bosom friends. After attending Brother Freed's school, Brother Lowrey went to the University of Mississippi, where he graduated with honors. For some time he taught in the public schools but preaching was his first love. He often debated his former Baptist brethren. Many of them thought that he had disgraced the Lowrey family by "joining up with the Campbellites." But this did not deter the indomitable J. P. Lowrey. He grew stronger and stronger in the faith and defended it at every opportunity. He preached everywhere; in schoolhouses, under arbors, tents and wherever he could get people to assemble. His preaching was simple but eloquent. He preached with telling effects. As a young man, he met, wooed and married Anna Hornsby, who had been one of his students. To this union were born seven children, one of whom died in infancy; another, Ann, died a few years ago. The survivors are two daughters, Mrs. Perrin Dandridge and Mrs. Lady Grace Caldwell, both of whom live in Senatobia, Miss.; three sons, Byron, Malvern, Ark.; Freed, Fayetteville, N. C., and Norman, who lives in Columbia, Ky. All of the surviving children were present at the funeral, except Norman, who was in Alaska on business at the time. For seven years, Brother Lowrey was a member of the faculty of Freed-Hardeman College. He worked side by side with A. G. Freed, T. B. Larimore and N. B. Hardeman. From Henderson, the Lowreys moved to Senatobia, Tate County, Miss. Brother Lowrey taught in the public school system and preached throughout the county, establishing churches in a number of places, including Senatobia. 1 knew, loved and appreciated Brother Lowrey from the time that 1 was ten years of age. He conducted the funeral of my father fortyfive years ago. When 1 got older he encouraged me to go to David Lipscomb College and be a preacher of the word. After 1 became a preacher, he would often have me for meetings where he did local work. Brother Lowrey did local work in Paragould, Ark., Memphis, Tenn., Huntsville, Ala., Orlando, Fla., and other places. He held meetings and debates in many states. He baptized thousands of people throughout the South. He was a great and good man and I loved him as a father. I shall not soon forget him.
