Birth*say 1830 She was born say 1830.1 
Marriage*say 1845 She married Sherman Sims say 1845. Ancestor Richard Bennett Simms, III, wrote Warren Culpepper on 10 Jan 2010:
"The home they (Sherman and Amanda) acquired from Abraham Atkins in 1860 (built in 1855) is the birthplace of my great grandfather and namesake (Richard Bennett Sims). Sherman named 2 sons (Richard B and Sherman B) for his uncle Bennett, whom I understand wrote an unpublished math text. Our family stories have it that Louisa Nance Bullock benefited from a Revolutionary war commission land grant from her grandfather, and that was the farm in Maysville. Also, I have learned that her children who were orphaned when the father dies and she re-married, won a lot (lot 99, district 5 , Wilkinson Co 1805 lottery) yet the census reports no Sims in subsequent years. Maybe a swap??"1
