| Anecdote | 27 May 1679 | On 27 May 1679 deposition of Reignald (sic) Badger aged about 17 years: About the end of January, Richard Hovington (who, along with Badger, served Mr. Richard Bally at the time) was about to fell a large pine that stood near a new forty foot tobacco house. He asked Badger which way he thought the tree would fall, but did not wait for a reply; Hovington said the tree leaned toward the branch and about sunset went to work felling the tree. The next morning Hovington shifted the notch to the other side, then with the wind blowing hard and the tree almost down, Hovington cried out, "I am undone, I am undone." Badger advised Hovington to let the tree alone "for it will go upon the house." But Hovington answered, "No, no," and kept felling till the tree was down. Signed 27 May 1679, by Reignald (25) Badger.3 |

Upon being examined in open court, Mary Turner swore that Reynold Badger was the father of her child. Ordered that he be taken into custody till giving security to answer at the next court.5 |
| Anecdote* | 18 March 1690/91 | On 18 Mar 1690/91 Mary Turner swore that Reynold Badger was the father of her bastard child. Now Badger appeared with Richard Bally, who acknowledged himself as security to save the parish from supporting the child. In exchange for Richard Bally providing the above security, Reynold Badger gave to Bally's daughter Elizabeth the child born to Mary Turner. The child, named Ursula Turner, had turned one year old on 16 March; she was ordered to serve Elizabeth till attaining lawful age. Also on this same date Mr. Richard Bally had been allowed 600 lbs tobacco from last year's parish levy for six months' nursing of Mary Turner's bastard child, of which Reynold Badger was the reputed father. Now Badger acknowledged judgment for the 600 lbs tobacco "and tendered payment immediately, having kept tobacco at ye said Mr. Richard Bally's, where he made his crop."

He was shown as grandson-in-law (meaning step-grandson) William James in the will of William Parker. He was given planation where I now live containing 200 acres. According to Whitelaw, this was the 200 acres William Parker had bought from Tabitha Hill in 1703. In 1757 James gave 100 acres to his son Thomas. In 1764 William and Amey James sold 50 acres to James Twiford, to become merged with some adjacent land of his. In 1765 William James (wife Amey) left his home plantation of 109 acres to his son Thomas, who (wife Sarah) died intestate in 1783. (NOTE: This William Parker had married the widow Sarah Spiers, who had a daughter Mary who married Jonathan James of Accomack and she had another daughter Sarah who married William James of N'hamp. Evidently both of these daughters had sons named William James. The assumption is that the land went to the William James of N'hamp as his father William in his will of 1715 named a friend William Parker to see to the proper care of my children's estate during their minority. This William Parker also named David James another son of his friend William James of N'hamp.)3,4 |

| Anecdote* | 2 July 1919 | Edgefield Advertiser, Edgefield, SC, 2 Jul 1919, Wednesday, starting on page 1 - Judge Arthur Simkins "Sketch of the Life of This Revolutionary Patriot, Prepared by Mr. S. McG. Simkins" - William Simkins, born in Accomac Co, VA, married Sabra _____ in 1734. Of this marriage 3 children were born: William who married Ann Dunton & lived & died in Northampton Co, VA, Covington and Arthur, the later born in 1742, married Margaret Dalby in 1761 and this is the early pioneer whose memory we are here to perpetuate and who settled this spot and cleared the original forests. In 1772 he moved from Virginia to S.C., settling first on the Congaree River near out Capital City and in December of that year moved to Cedar Fields in Edgefield District. When he left Virginia he had 3 children, John, William and Nancy and the youngest son Eldred, seeing the light of day at Cedar Fields, and in this burying ground a streak of sunlight touches the marble shaft erected to Eldred Simkins, born in the stirring year of 1775 and who died in 1831, a splendid lawyer, a promoter of education and religious activity, a member of the Congress and law partner of George McDuffie. Judge O'Neal in his "Bench and Bar of South Carolina" says: "Arthur Simkins was of the most respectable class from the Eastern shores of Virginia and emigrated early in life to Edgefield District. He ultimately settled a fine body of land on the waters of Log Creek, in Edgefield District, a plantation still remembered by many as the "Cedar Fields." Here is lived and died. He was County Court Judge. When the Rev. War broke out, he of course sided for independence of the colonies and served his country faithfully. He was a member of the S.C. general assembly for about 20 consecutive years. He died September 29, 1826 leaving a large property. He was a Baptist in his religion. His youngest son was Eldred and became the favorite of his father. Eldred James Simkins, late a very distinguished citizen of Texas, State senator and judge of Supreme Court of Criminal appeals and author of the present Appellate System of Texas, a descendant of John Simkins. Two descendants of Arthur Simkins married the two war governors of South Carolina, Governors Pickens and Bonham. The will of Judge Simkins reads: 1st: I give my son John Simkins all that tract of land lying eastwardly of the village of Edgefield which I purchased of Peter Youngblood and about 15 Negroes. This John was the oldest son of Arthur and when the survey of the county was made in 1817 he was living not far from Cedar Fields near the road leading to Meeting Street. He was ordinary of Edgefield County from 1803 to 1833, when he died at the age of 71. His wife was a Miss James of Virginia, daughter of Hezikiah and Sabra James. John had 9 children, some of whom died young. One son Jesse, a daughter, Bethethland Brooks. Sabra, a daughter married John Speed Jeter who was solicitor o the Southern District and served as a member of the House of Representatives and State Senator. Another married a Mr. Harris who built the original house on the same spot now occupied by the Hon. J.L Mins. Mr. Jeter lived at the place now owned by Mmr. Ransom Padgett. Another daughter of John Simkins, Elizabeth, married John S. Glascock, a distinguished lawyer of Edgefield and State Senator and Major General of the 1st Division of South Carolina Militia. Continuing the will of Arthur Simkins: "To Arthur Simkins Jr., a son of John, a house." To Nancy Lowe, 2 lots in the village of Edgefield, on one of which she now resides." To 2 granddaughters, Winnie and a name unintelligible in the will, and to Jesse, a grandson, and a granddaughter, Elinor McWhorter. To the youngest son, Eldred, all the remainder of the property. John and Eldred were Extrs." The will was made in 1820. The son William is mentioned in the will and must have died before his father, as some of his children are made legatees. One daughter of William, Lucretia Simkins, married Mr. John Mobley of Red Bank, now in Saluda County. From this union are descended most of the Sheppard family of Edgefield: Ex-Governor J.C. Sheppard, Hon. Orlando Sheppard, the Daniel family and all the Mobley family and descendants, among them Mrs. Manly Timmons. Nancy Lowe, mentioned in the will, was the 3rd child and only daughter of Judge Simkins. She married first, George Youngblood, who was the grandfather of Misses Cottie, Tillie and Eliza Youngblood and Mrs. Nannie Griffin, and the late Capt. Erasmus Youngblood and Lewis Youngblood. Nancy or Ann Youngblood was the mother of Patience who married first, Stanmore Butler and was the ancestor of General Milledge Bonham, here present today, her granddaughter Patience Ann, being the wife of Governor Bonham. Patience married second, Capt. Allen Addison, whose daughter, Emeline married Dr. E.J. Mims, who lived at the place now occupied by Mr. Bettis Cantelou, and they were the grandparents of Messrs. E.J., J.L, and J.E. Mims. By the second marriage of Nancy or Ann Simkins to Henry Lowe there were 2 daughters; one, Theresa, became the wife of Dr. Richard Tutt Mims.

He was born in Edgefield, August 30, 1779, married at Milford, Ga., Hannah Eliza Smith, April 7, 1807, she being a descendant of Gen. Elijah Clarke, of Georgia. Col.

His children were Margaret Eliza, who married Governor Francis Wilkinson Pickens, whose daughters were, Mrs. James N. Lipscomb, Mrs. Calbraith Butler, Mrs. J. Sticker Coles and Mrs. John E. Bacon. The second daughter of Eldred Simkins married Judge Andrew Fickens Butler; his third daughter, Mariah Edgeworth, married James Edward Calhoun, at one time an officer in the British navy, and who lived for many years and died in Abbeville County. Sons of Eldred: Arthur, who graduated from the South Carolina University in 1836, for many years Commissioner in Equity for Edgefield County and Editor of the Edgefield Advertiser, the older county paper in the State, and now ably edited by our distinguished friend, Hon.

D., Palmetto Regiment, commanded by Capt. Brooks. He was transferred and participated in the battle of Cherubusco, where he received 2 wounds.

In the War between the States he was appointed captain in the First South Carolina Infantry. He was killed at Morris Island on 18 July 1863 at the age of 36 years.
