This family name is spelled both as "Simmon//d//s" and "Simmons". However, the contemporaneous record overwhelmingly favors the latter spelling of "Simmons" (no ‘d’). The transcription below //retains// the spelling of "Simmonds" as written by the author (except the signature, which was spelled "Simmons").
