Marriages:

Children of Fletcher Simmons and Lucy Hughes:
Henry Simmons b. about 1856-00-00
May Simmons b. about 1857-00-00
George Simmons b. about 1859-00-00
Peter Simmons b. about 1863-00-00

Notes:

His Find-a-Grave entry says his mother was Sarah Simmons d/o George Simmons. I don't have proof that Moses and Catherine were his parents, but their census entries do show a son the right age.
The 1820 and 1830 censuses for Franklin Co VA do show an older George Simmons with a male and female the right age, but his 1840 entry doesn't have them. Of course, Fletcher could be a laborer in another household and not identifiable.
