Title A name given to the resource Simes, Samuel Description An account of the resource Sameul Sims was a master builder elected to The Carpenters' Company in 1794. He died the next year. Samuel Simes, or Sims, was a member of the company for around a year. There are multiple listings in the Philadelphia Directory between 1785 and 1794. In 1785, there lived a Samuel Sime on Front street between Lombard and South streets who worked as a cabinet maker. In 1791, Samuels Sims lived at 237 South Front street and was listed as a joiner. Samuel lived at the same place in 1793 but was listed as a house carpenter. In 1794, his address was 157 Spruce street and he was again labeled as a house carpenter. According to the Managing Committee Minutes of 1793, John Wilson (elected in 1788) proposed Samuel Simes and he was elected. This contradicts his election date of 1794 and sets it at the previous year. In 1798, three years after Samuel’s death, the Company directed that his children “be placed at school-same for Mosley’s children; widow of George Mosley will board them at three dollars a week.” It is unknown how Samuel Sims and Joseph Sims (elected in 1810) are related.

Avara (in file) My ancestor was Edward Leech, a brother of Daniel Leech. They were children of Duncan Leech and Jane Patterson of Philadelphia. Duncan was a carter who had come from Argylle, Scotland, in 1740. The Leech family resided at #148-152 Spruce St. (1790's). Their other children were: John, Robert, Duncan, Andrew, Thomas and Jane Leech. Duncan was a close friend of Robert Allison to whom he apprenticed his son Robert in 1773. They were also associated with the Loxley and McClure families. Daniel's sister Jane was married to Peter L. Berry, another well known Philadelphia builder in 1797. Their home, which he built about 1804 at 410 Locust St. is still preserved. Duncan Leech died in 1797, his wife in 1817. Daniel's brother John was married to Margaret McShane about 1775. He is believed to have perished on a prison ship in New York harbor during the Revolution. Duncan and Jane Leech were all deceased by 1797; Thomas a victim of the yellow fever plague of 1793. Edward (a hatmaker) moved to Edenton, NC, about 1779 and on to Tennessee by 1800. I have much more information about the family, most of it well documented, but no personal information about Daniel Leech. I suspect he was married and had children, but can find no records of either. No children of Daniel were mentioned in the wills of Duncan or Jane Leech. I also suspect he was a victim of the 1798 yellow fever but can't prove it . . .
