They were married on the banks of Old Black River at a place called Rock Point located in the George Town District about 11 miles from Georgetown. The wedding was quite an elaborate affair. Every dish, plate, cup, saucer, spoon, knife, fork, all candlesticks, etc. used at the wedding was either gold or silver. There was not a cotton fabric on the place, only pure linen, silk, and broadcloth was used and every manner of food, meat, drink, and dessert was served.

John Joseph Simons was the only son of Shadrack Simons and Elizabeth Ann Brittian. Shadrack fought with General Marion during the Revolutionary War. Following the Revolution, Shadrack occupied a position of some prominence in Charleston society. His family lived near the Great Pee Dee River in the vicinity of Brittian's Ferry. His plantations with land grants covered some 6,681 acres in the George Town District. According to the 1800 Federal Census he owned 30 slaves. Shadrack was Milita Captain from 1785-1801.
