He was age 73, Simeon "Simmy" Justice, Jr. was born about 1777 and was the son of Simeon Justice, Sr. and Elizabeth Turley. Simeon married Keziah Salisbury about 1807 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Keziah went by the nicknames of "Prisa" and "Kizzie" at various times in her life. She was the daughter of Richard Salisbury and Polly Milton of Pittsylvania County, VA. Richard Salisbury served during the American Revolution.

Sometime before 1810, Simeon and Keziah moved to Beaver Creek in Floyd County, Kentucky and started a family – they had 9 children: Polly Jane Justus Smith (Smyth), Saulsbury Justus, Job Justus, Lucinda Justus Hall, Annia Justus Collins, King Hiram Justus, James Raleigh Justus, william Whiley Justus, and Rhoda Justus Lane.

About 1836 the entire Justice family moved to Guesses Fork in Buchanan County. Simeon and several of his sons received large land grants in Guesses Fork and across the ridge on Panther Creek in McDowell County, WV. Simeon possibly died After or Late 1860's and Keziah died on November 23, 1855. They are probably buried in the old Justus Family Cemetery on the right hand fork of Guesses Fork, as three of their children are also buried there. Time has long since worn away most of the markings on the fieldstones there.

He is still living on the 1860 census in Grundy, Buchanan Co., VA at age 80 with his son James Riley..
