Both of my great grandfathers served in the Civil War; Capt. James Ford Zediker fought for the North and Isaac Sims for the South. Being on opposite sides, they fought two battles against each other. To the best of my knowledge, neither one was ever wounded. Grandfather Issac Sims was born on May 16, 1839 in South Carolina. He was the son of Zachariah Sims (1800-1859) and Sandra Leigh Page Sims. Issac relocated to Mississippi and then later made his home in Rocky Creek, Florida. The journey to Rocky Creek was accomplished by using ox and wagon. Issac enlisted in the Civil War at Apalachicola, Florida Co. F, 6th Magnolia State Guard; about a year after the war had begun. He was enlisted in the service by Captain Attaway. He served in three states including Tennessee, Georgia, and South Carolina. When the war ended, he was discharged in South Carolina. I remember Issac's son , Buford Sims, telling me that Isaac walked back to his Florida home with either bare feet or a hole in his shoes.
