His eldest son George was living in Surry County, Virginia by 1687, and in Oct. 1698 gave power of attorney to John Shelton, blacksmith, to represent his interests in Virginia. In 1699 on Antigua legacies were paid to Christopher, Henry, and George Symes, "children of George Symes, late of the Island, dec'd." The son George returned to Virginia, and later resided in Hanover County, where he assisted the sons of his younger first-cousin, William Sims of New Kent County, acquire sizeable land grants. There is an extant paper trail connecting George of Hanover County as the George of Surry County, and therefore to the Symes of Antigua and southwest England.
In 1717 the Council of Antigua passed an act allowing Arthur Freeman and his wife Dorothy, widow of George Symes, to sell a plantation on Antigua to make provision for Henry Symes and Elizabeth Athy, children of Dorothy by her marriage to Symes.
