| | Simms, William Gilmore (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) |
 | | William Gilmore Simms, the elder, having failed in Charleston as a merchant, removed to Tennessee, where he held a commission in Coffee's brigade of mounted men, under the command of Jackson, employed in the Indian war against the Creeks and Seminoles. |
 | | Upon the death of his wife, Simms remarried, this time to a daughter of a wealthy planter and was elected to the state legislature. |
 | | Simms, on the 11th of June, at Charleston, the country has lost one more of its time-honored band of authors, and the South the most consistent and devoted of her literary sons. |
