John (Johannes) SIMONS / Simmons birth in Muenchenbuchsee, Bern, Switzerland married Margaret BUSSETT whom was from another of the Palatine families that settled in New Bern.
John SIMMONS (Simons) was one of the Palatines who planted the colony at New Bern in 1710. From the evidence of a letter written in New Bern in 1711 by the members of the Simons family and sent to their relatives in Europe, it appears that John (or "Johannes" as he was called in the German of the letter) and his sisters were the only members of the Simons family to have survived. He was
granted lands on the south side of the Trent River, traditionally thought to be on the land now known as "Simmon's Neck" in Jones County, North Carolina John's will was probated in Craven County on September 24 1742 and it names his wife, Margaret BUSSETT, and his children to
each of whom he "devised" a plantation and slaves.
The home of the late Senator F. M. Simmons stands on the plantation today. The land has never been out of the Simmons family control.

Benedict and his wife Katherine set out from their village in German-speaking Switzerland for the new world with a group of Palatines from Germany andsettled in Carolina. According to a letter, Both Benedict and his wife had
died before 1711 and we must assume that they did not survive the privations of the early years of the colony.
