Although this stone is undated, it is similar in style to other stones carved by John Stevens in the 1710s and 1720s.

Probably it's this family, making the date 1718. Little Compton was settled from Duxbury, and this was one of the founding families. Simmons seems to be the modern spelling (as opposed to Simonds).
