SIMMONS, James Fowler {78789}, senator, was born in Little Compton, R.I., Sept. 10, 1795; son of Davis Simmons. He spent his childhood on his father's farm, and attended Mr. Fowler's private school in Newport, removing in 1812 to Providence. He was subsequently employed in various manufacturing concerns in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and in 1822 built a mill and began manufacturing in Simmonsville. He was a representative of the town of Johnston in the general assembly, 1827-40, excepting the years 1830 and 1834, serving on a committee sent to Washington in the interests of manufacturing corporations, and also as chairman of a committee sent from Providence in the great financial crisis of 1837. He was U.S. senator from Rhode Island, 1841-47, and lost the next two elections through favoring the liberation of Thomas W. Dorr (q.v), but won the election, 1857, resigning his seat in August, 1862, and his term was completed by Samuel G. Arnold of Middletown. He was married, first, Oct. 21, 1820, to Eliza, daughter of Judge Samuel Randall {78788}, of Johnston; and secondly, in 1835, to Sarah Scott, daughter of Simon Whipple. He died at Johnston, R.I., July 19, 1864.Also cites RI Vital Records (death).
