Title
Simes, Joseph
Description
Joseph Simes, or Sims, the carpenter, not to be confused with the well-known Philadelphia merchant Joseph Sims, was a member of the Carpenters' Company elected in 1810. Interestinly, Simes is not listed in the Philadelphia Directory until 1813 when he is labelled a carpenter living at 290 Lombard street. By 1830, he had moved to South Juniper below Walnut. After his death in 1846, his widow, Ann, was placed on widows' relief roll. Later in 1856, his widow solicited further aid from the Company and had removed to Harrison County, Ohio.
