Most of the boys of Hiram married wives in and around Henry County, Georgia. The last child of Hiram, Elizabeth was also born in Henry County, Georgia helping confirm the date after which they migrated into Alabama.

Colville Sims married Catherine Elizabeth Johnson
Clairborn Sims married Susannah J Waldrop
Hiram Sims, Jr married Elizabeth Rebecca Walls
