********************************************************
To preface:
Nicholas is the second son (and second child) of:
Andreas SIMON and Anna Margaretha PULVER
He's the grandson of:
Johan Michael SIMON and Anna Barbara BOHNENSTEIHL
AND
Conrad PULVER and Anna Magdalena SHA(E)FFER
Nicholas' marriages:
1) Margaretha/Margaret HUMMEL
"SIMMON: Margaret, wife of Nicholas A., d. October 16, 1843, 69-18.
St. John's Evangelical Cemetery, Manorton, Livingston, Columbia Co., NY"
2) Margaret MYERS
"SIMMONS: Nicholas A., d. May 17, 1864, 93-4-21
Margaret Myers, his wife, d. January 6, 1875, 82-8-7

************************************************************
Summary of Nicholas' will:
1) He set aside a list of specifics for his (2nd) wife Margaret.
2) He designated gifts (mostly monitary) to his domestic help.
~ Hannah (wife of Elias PALMATIER and sister of
Nicholas' second wife)
~ Hannah McDANIEL (wife of Nicholas McDANIEL)
~ Margaret STICKLES (daughter of Frederick STICKLES)
~ Catherine FRONK (daughter of Peter FRONK)
~ A codicil was added giving Elias PALMATIER choice of
a pair of horses.
3) After his debts and funeral expenses are covered, the remainder of his personal property and real estate was to be divided equally among his surviving siblings.
~ Henry A. SIMMONS
~ John A. SIMMONS
~ Coonradt A. SIMMONS
~ Margaret widow of William ABRIAL
~ Sarah widow of William BEARTER
~ Catherine wife of George HOFFMAN
There's a stipulation that his brother John should maintain Coonradt's share. If Coonradt should pass before Nicholas, then Coonradt's share will be given to John.
Executors are Frederick STICKLES and Jacob BARRINGER.

(I've also seen her name spelled Ann Eliza and Anna
Eliza.)

***********************************************************
Questions?
1) From Caroline WHEELER to William H SIMMONS of Kinderhook, how are they related to Nicholas?
2) Is it possible that the surname "BEARTER" is a poor transcription of the surname "BECKER"?
3) Does anyone have access to the 1855 Gallatin census and be willing to relay Nicholas' information to me?
4) Why wasn't Coonradt's share given to his heirs? (I'm still trying to prove that Coonradt is my ggg grandpa.)

This was previously posted on the Columbia Co. NY Rootsweb mailing list. More discoveries have been found! More questions have been generated.
Elias Palmatier's first wife is Rebecca Simmons. Rebecca is the daughter of John A Simmons and Catharina Rivenburgh.
German Simmons' full name is Talmadge German Simmons. I don't know his parentage yet. His wife's name is Anna/Annie J___. (I'm assuming that "J" stands for "Jane".)
Caroline Wheeler's full name is Mary Caroline Simmons Wheeler. Who are her parents?
German and Annie Simmons were living in the household of Peter and Caroline Wheeler at the time of the 1870 Kinderhook census. Is Annie their daughter?
