The Sims family is descended from or associated with those persons dealing with the signing of the Magna Charta. Exactly what correlation could this have with the death of JFK?? Well, Martha Caruth was also a member of this elite society as well. And, who is Martha Caruth? Martha Caruth, of Texas, was the wife of David Harold Byrd, owner of the TSDB from which LHO fired the shots which resulted in the death of JFK.
