COMMENTS: Various authors have tried to make Thomas Symons a son or brother of MOSES SIMONSON, but there is no evidence for this. Raymon Meyers Tingley went so far as to fabricate a deposition by Symons making him brother-in-law of SAMUEL NASH and father-in-law of Gilbert Brooks [Tingley-Meters 371-72], but this alleged document is impeached by its own internal chronological impossibilities."
