“…Theresa Jones’s brother Rush…”
Sims’s autobiography describes his time in Philadelphia in somewhat broken form. Sims’s classmates are a bit difficult to discern, and Sims did not always describe Rush Jones as his brother-in-law.

“Once again, Sims lied…”
See “…he lied…” and “…the master had a son…,” above.
Sims’s register of matriculation, pictured in the book, is held in the special collections of Scott Memorial Library at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I am assuming that if he lied when he was leaving school he would have lied, once again, to get in.
