He was a member of the Secession Convention in which body he was one of six delegates who signed the celebrated ordinance under formal protest"--Lucian Lamar Knight ; Sheriff M. V. Brand declared under oath in 1872 that James P Simmons supported the Ku-Klux Klan in Gwinnett County. "There is a preacher and lawyer there-James P. Simmons; we liked to have had a very bad difficulty over it. He accused me of miming down the Ku-Klux. He said the Ku Klux were better than any man who passed the law or tried to execute the law meaning the Ku-Klux bill of Congress. That got me mad and I spoke pretty short I reckon; and I said he was one of the sort who were in favor of burning the courthouse. That made him mad of course. He denied it and we had some few words. He is a large landholder and worth a great deal of money." ; With the stamp of James M. Mitchell above the publisher ; it is highly likely that this James M Mitchell is the grandson of James P. Simmons through his daughter Eliza Thompson Terrell Simmons 1819 - 1895.
