Surnames: Sims, Reddock
What I have is based on the 1860 & 1870 census, which agrees with what Nancy has.

1860 Limestone Co, TX census
Page 34
Precinct 5
P. O. Personville(?)
Enumerated 13th Jul 1860
259/228:
W Sims 38 M Farmer $1000/$3700 SC [1822; Wiley Wilson Sims; 1515]
L 48 F AL [1812; Luvinia (Reddoch) Reddock; 14 Jun 1817]
S J 16 F AL attended school w/in the year [1844; Sarah Jane 15 Sep 1842]
J S 13 M AL attended school w/in the year [1847; John Stephen 11 Jun 1845]
W L 12 M AL attended school w/in the year [1848; William Leander 1 Dec 1847]
Wiley 11 M AL attended schooll w/in the year [1849; Wiley Wilson (Bunk) 2 Jan 1850]
Melvina 8 F AL attended school w/in the year [1852]
J C 4 M TX [1856; James Clayton (Bony) 8 Apr 1856]
unnamed 3/12 M TX [Apr 1860; Elihua Jackson (Jack)]

Luvinia's husband, Wiley Wilson, is deceased 11 Aug 1866 per the Lost Prarie Cemetery listing. I've never been to the cemetery, so can only hope the listing is completely accurate with no typos.

1870 Limestone Co, TX census finds the widowed Lavinia:
District 48 West Texas

Ivey, May 31 F W Keeping house GA [1839]

Believe your Leander and William L are the same person (see census records above).

R.E. & H Hutto as you give them are born well after Luvinia's husband died. I don't know who R. E. (1878- ?) would be.

The only Hutt I have found is on the 1900 Limestone Co, TX census and he's a child of Wiley Wilson (Bunk) Sims (son of Wiley Wilson & Luvinia) and his wife, Mary Emaline:

District 56, Justice Precinct 3

Lessie E dau W F Sep 1890 9 single TX AL TX

What I'd love to know is the identity of the 9th child of John S & Belle Sims AND the other 3 children of Wiley Wilson (Bunk) & Mary Emaline.

Hope this helps; Nancy can probably shed more light on this than I can.
