They were married in Bourbour Co,Ky Dont know where children were born.? The McLaney kids are children of Mattie Jane Who are parents of:Thomas Jefferson 1929 Polly Mary Lonnie Ruth Lena Mae John Ervin James Olan Mims? Jeanne

Ann; In looking over my info that I got from Charleston,SC I have: Shadrach born 7/26/1804 (father) Wm McP born feb 23 1835 (son) He cant be born 1809 if father born 1804 Mary Dubose was from Charleston area and I think that is why they lived there after marriage. I have Wm M was born Autauga Co,Ala. Anyone have documentation on this??? Jeanne

Ann; I have same info you do except I also hava Thomas born abt 1766. Jeanne

Here is the inscription on the historic marker on the Upson County courthouse square in Thomaston: Upson County was created by Acts of the Legislature December 15th and 20th, 1824. It's named for Stephen Upson, a well known lawyer of Lexington, Georgia. Lt. General John B. Gordon, famed Confederate leader called "the second to Robert E. Lee" was born in Upson County at the settlement of Black Ankle near the Flint (or Thronateeska) River. So that sort of dispells the place of the marriage in 1796 of David Spivy Mims and Elizabeth (Betsey) Broome, doesn't it? He had a sister Betsey who married Betsey Broome's brother in Lincoln County, another of the many counties formed from Washington County which reached all the way from the east Georgia mountains to the southeast coast just north of Brunswick.

While going through some cemetery records I found the following: Harper Cemetery, McLennan County,. Texas. If anyone wants further directions I have them: MIMS, S. E. (double stone) Born - November 26, 1865 Died - October 16, 1883 MIMS, p. b. (double stone) Born - September 19, 1857 Died - January 23, 1884 I feel like this is one double stone with both names. BD

Karen, Sorry, somehow mom knew that Nancy and James were siblings and father was only listed as Mr.Glover. I have not done any work on my own family for a long time. I also have never seen the name Mims in relation to the Hempstead families that I have on my family research. Linda in KCMO

I found somethin on this family. Dont know if it helps. Jefferson Lamar McGhee born abt 1842 Barbour,Al (m) Sarah "Sally" Frances Mims born abt 1848 Perry Co,Al (m) on Feb 2 1866. Kids: Mims McGhee Maggie Louisa Minnie Jefferson Lamar Jr Estrella Aileine **This from "Lamar Gedcom" on internet. Jeanne

The name "Savilla" got my attention. My grandmother was Della Seville O'Quinn (b. 1907), d/o Robert S. O'Quinn and Harriett Della Mims O'Quinn. Harriett was d/o David Washington Mims and gd/o Calvin. I have no idea where Grandma's middle name came from, but seeing a name so similar in the Mims family makes me wonder.... Anybody know any more about this Savilla Mims? My O'Quinns were in Avoyelles Parish, LA in the 1900 census, St Landry in 1910. Thanks for any info or ideas. Allison Baugh ---------- From: eliz Mims [SMTP:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2000 5:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MIMS-L] William M Mims Mr Smith never uses the middle name of Mcpherson for the William he is talking about I found this a bit confusing but something to think about.... Here is part of a letter written by some one named S Norman Smith in 1983 to a Mrs Mims "I borrowed a copy of the Mims book, which was compiled by your Mother in Law, from the Univ. of S C South Carolinia Library hoping that it would help me trace the Mims branch of my family. Since my Great Great Grandfather, William M mims lived and died in the St James goose creek parish of Charles Co. and the Mims book mentioned that Thomas Mims lived in same area. I wondered it these could be a connection. Since the year 1765 was mentioned in the book, the connection could be as follows; Thomas Mims lived in Charles Co in 1765 per the mims book. His son William was possibly the same William listed in the 1800 cen. in Chas as age greater than 45 In 1800 the only Mims listed in the cen. in Chas Co that could be my GGGrandfather William,s father was Joseph Mims. He could have been the son of the above William since they lived near each other.. The genealogy which I am certain of is as follows: William M Mims 1809-1898 Mary M Dubose Harrison John William e Robert L Mary L Thomas Lavinia Peter g Caroline **Richard Nathaniel Joseph Miles E Malory Richard 1844-1916 Eugenia O Smith They were my Great Grandparents Jame w Josephine John Savilla Lilla Carrie Frank Savilla Mims was my Mothers Mother." End of quote..... Ann ______________________________

Does any one have the birth order and dates for this family?? I think I have them wrong Thomas Mims 1736 Mary ? 1 Richard 1757 2 Benjamin 1759 3 Mary 1761 4 Judith 1763 5 Martha 1765 6 Agnes 1767 7 Elizabeth 1769 8 Nancy 1771 9 Sarah 1773 10 Ailsey 1775 11 David 1777 12 Jesse 1779 Is there one more???

I was digging in my Gibson file and ran into this: Margaret Mims, dau of William Brittain and Suzanne Booker, married @1800 in Midway, Monroe Co., AL a Mr. Sturdivant. >From History of Methodism in AL and W. FL: ...these gallant ministers...down the coast they trudged, covering Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia. Across the Great Smokies their trails led to new fields in Kentucky and Tennessee...One of the first of these was "the Natchez Country," in what is now MS. Tobias Gibson of SC saw the need for preachers...at the 1807 conference, Matthew Parham Sturdivant responded. And on that day began the history of Methodism in AL and W. FL. Does anyone have Margaret's husband's given names? I just wondered if this was him... Leah
