Alot of controversy exists concerning the the identification of Rebecca Sims mother. While most reseachers agree that her father was Thomas Sims (1696-21 April 1784), there seems to be several schools of thought concerning his wife.

The first theory explored is that Rebecca was the daughter of William Sims and brother to Thomas Sims (husband of Rebecca Petty, John Petty's sister). In his will, William Sims names only his son Thomas, a minor. Thomas Pety witnessed this will, 11 years prior to the marriage of his daughter Rebecca to Thomas Sims, thereby establishing a close relationship between the families early on. William Sims had other children not named in the will. On Feb. 1, 1714/5, William Sims in Richmond Co. deeded by gift land to sons-in-law Matthew Beane and Thomas Scott. Matthew Beane had married Mary Sims in 1710. A third daughter Rebecca, wife of John Pettey, has been suggested based on two 1734 deeds between Alexander Spotswood and John Pettey and Thomas Sims in St. Marks Parish, Spotsylvania County, naming Rebecca as the wife of John Petty. In my opinion, this is a very reasonable theory and seems to be the opinion mostly supported by Sims family researchers

One opinion is that Rebecca Sims' mother was Rebecca Petty, sister to her husband John Petty. One fact stated is that when Thomas Sims leased land from Alexander Spotswood (23 October 1734) the same day that land was leased from Spotswood by Thomas Pettey and his wife, Catherine, and son Christopher, William, Jeremiah and Elijah Morton, all on the S. side of the Rapidan River and by John Petty, wife Rebecca and son Thomas on the N. side of the river seems to be one thing that would bolster this opinion. These researchers are of the opinion that Rebeckah Simms mentioned in the Paul Harrelson will of 1734 was the wife of a Thomas Sims who was a descendant of the Thomas Symes - Amy Bridges family. This relationship has been published in several family histories including "Simms Family Genealogy", by Albert E. Simms Jr. and "Ancestors and Descendants of Thomas Sims of Culpeper County, Virginia" published by Prewitt in 1972. It seems highly unlikely, in my opinion, that John Petty married his sister's daughter.

The more recent view is that Rebecca Sims' mother was Rebecca Harralson, daughter of Paul Harralson. The basis for this information is the will of Paul Harralson, in which he names his granddaughter Rebecca Sims. The daughters given name and her husband were not named; but a Thomas Sims (presumed to be the one under discussion) lived nearby and circumstantial evidence can be developed that points to the possibility that this Thomas was the son-in-law of Paul Harralson and the father of Rebecca Sims. Do we know that this is the same Rebecca Sims as named in Paul Harralson's will? Other than circumstantial evidence is there anything else to comfirm that Rebecca Harralson married this Thomas Sims? This view is taken by most Petty family researchers.

Though I have listed Rebecca Sims mother as Rebecca Harralson, in my opinion, the relationship is not proven without further documentation. It does appear that there were two Thomas Sims living in the same general location and time period. Evidently one of these Thomas' married Rebecca Petty while the other married Rebecca Harralson. Without further documentation or insight, sorting out these families will be very difficult.

Grandfather was Paul Harrelson, will dated 1718 Hanover County, Virginia His children included Peter, Paul, Anne Chiles (md to Henry Chiles), Judith; named his granddaughter Rebecca Simms

Thomas Arnold was born around 1648 in England. He died around 1726 in King George County, Virginia.. The English orgin of Thomas Arnold is unknown. He may be the Thomas Arnold imported by James Keys who was granted 200 acres 3 April 1678 on the north side of the Rappahannock River beginning near the mouth of Doegs Creek (Virginia Land Patent Bk 6 Page 630 ). His actual arrival may well have been somewhat earlier since on 5 Feb. 1677/8 he appears as witness to a deed from ADAM WOFFENDALE and wife, HONORIA, of 200 acres to John Homes (Rappahannock Co. Va.

[See: C 6/281/58; C 33/268.]

582r June 17, 1686
Plaintiff is to amend her bill.

733r September 18, 1686
Thomas ARNALL [sic] has been made a defendant in the case and is about to go to sea. He is to be examined as a witness at once.

811v October 12, 1686
Gilbert METCALFE, the plaintiff's late husband, was employed as husband by masters of ships to provide provisions, etc. He and James Strong made an agreement in May 1680 concerning the provisioning of the Assistance. He was also to supply fifty passengers for a voyage to Carolina. METCALFE contracted with Batch to provide provisions, such as flour, at any time he should request them. As he did not need all the provisions, he asked Batch to give them to Thomas ARNOLD, Nicholas Goodridge and other defendants. They paid METCALFE for the provisions but, since his death, Batch has tried to get ARNOLD and the othrs to pay again and is proceeding as law against the plaintiff. Ordered that an injunction be granted staying Batch's proceedings against the plaintiff and the other defendants.

1p Answers of Thomas ARNALL, one of the defendents to the Bill of Complaint of Jane METCALFE, executrix of Gilbert METCALFE
September 23, 1686

Gilbert METCALFE was employed as a ship's husband. ARNALL was commander ot the Henry and Anne in 1680 and he received provisions for the ship on the recommendation of METCALFE from William Batch. Understood that METCALFE was to arrange payment so now Batch is demanding the money from ARNALL who refuses to pay.

[? Virginia trade. ARNALL was certainly employed on Virginia ships]
