Variant namesClergyman in Waltham, Mass., Springfield, Mass., and Albany, N.Y. Born 1814 at Boston to William and Lucia Hammett Simmons; died Concord, Mass., 1855. Married Mary Emerson Ripley, daughter of Samuel and Sarah Alden Bradford Ripley. George and Mary Simmons had four children, one of them Edward, the artist. Rev. Samuel Ripley--son of Ezra Ripley, half-brother of Ralph Waldo Emerson's father William, and father-in-law of George Simmons--was Simmons' predecessor at the Independent Congregational Society of Waltham.
(Cont.) After retiring from the ministry at Waltham, Ripley returned in 1846 to the Old Manse, his boyhood home in Concord. Simmons left his position in Waltham in 1843, built a house, and set up a small-scale farm on what is now Monument Street, near the Old Manse, in 1848. (The house no longer stands.) Simmons maintained fruit trees, small fruits, corn, potatoes, peas, beans, and squash, and raised hens.
