She was the youngest of nine children born to Benjamin A. and Elizabeth Lenora (Rightmer)Grimes. The info I have is as follows: Benjamin A. Grimes b. 2-24-1866, TX d. 11-14-1945, TX son of Monroe Grimes b. 11-14-1827, AL d. 6-25-1909, TX and Sarah A. Sc(r)oggins b. 11-5-1829, AL d. 6-13-1908, TX All three are buried in Nacogdoches, TX Monroe Grimes son of Allen Grimes b. 12-25-1795, GA d. 8-30-1883, AL and Elizabeth Barnes b. 10-24-1800, TN d. 2-1-1875, AL Allen and Elizabeth are buried in Grimes Cemetery in Monroe, AL Allen Grimes son of Samuel "Dawson" Grimes b. 1765, NC d. 5-6-1857, AL and Darcall Wall b. 1765, NC d. 1850. AL There are a great many siblings, however, I don't know if I have placed the right person with the right families. I have found all of the above mentioned men on various census reports, but not of the reports mention the family members. I have yet to find a census report with Monroe Grimes living in the Allen Grimes household, unless Monroe went by another name. I don't know his full name. I'm also trying to find out who the father of Dawson Grimes was and where Dawson and Darcass are buried. Because families were rather large back in the day and because children were always named after another relative, it all becomes a bit confusing for me. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I live in Montgomery,TX and will gladly help anyone with info or photos that can be gathered in surrounding towns. There are alot of towns I can cover. I also have photos of Grimes headstones in Nacogdoches/Douglass,TX. I also have the book "Nacogdoches County Families" which is a wonde! rful book full of family histories and photos from Nacogdoches,TX. Thanks so much.
