- The headstone of J.S. Sims resides with those of his wife’s family. Fernandis Cemetery Union Co. SC
Maj. Joseph Stark Sims was a young lawyer from Grindal Shoals when he signed John Foster and James Moseley wills. He was also operated a textile mill on the Pacolet and was one of three representatives from Union Co. to sign South Carolina’s Ordinance of Cessation – proclaiming South Carolina’s resignation from the federal union.
He represents an interesting link between the generation that fought a Revolution and one about to fight a Civil War.
