I have a friend that is a descendant of the Simons in the 4th Michigan Cavalry. His last name is Simons and he lives in or near Grand Blanc, Michigan. I can try to put you in contact with him, he has a good deal of information on Anson Lewis Simons 4th Mich, Cav., William A. Simons 4th Mich. Cav., their brothers Silenus A. Simmons 29th Mich. Inf. and Benjamin Simons possibly of the 8th Mich. Inf. I have a photo copy of a post war photograph of the 7 Simons brothers that my friend gave me.
