Thanks, John. I'm sending you directly a copy with differences marked. I've now finished comparing, and as I said before, other than some formatting issues, there are very few differences, mostly in some years. Plus, it would appear that either Kate, the source of her copy, or a subsequent editor didn't share Sam's regard for Jesse James -- a number of lines in that section are absent in the copy I have that originated with her. If you have access to an original copy, John, that would help resolve the few conflicts that cannot be cleared up otherwise.

Hi Marie, I don't know about the 1850 Census -- but they are listed in the Warren County Book by Daniel Nathan Crumpton as marrying on November 6, 1828. Which census are you looking at? Warren Co.?

Jeanne I don't usually respond but have to say on the 1850 census Ammon Cobb is 52 wife Elizabeth is 28 meaning she was born in 1822.

The first Mims that I know of marrying the Cobbs are Cornelia Rebecca Mims m. Robert Livingston Cobb 13 May 1835 and Julia Ann Mims m. Joshua Cobb 23 Jun 1835, both in or near Eddyville, KY. This Cobb family came from New England, and is not related, in America at least, to the Cobb and Cobbs families from Virginia. Terry Reigel

I was looking at this paper and noticed that the 3rd line after 20 it looks like the name is John Marlin Cobb. Then, the 3rd line after what is marked either 23 or 29, it looks like it says Marlin Mims. There is another name there that might be David, but I can not tell for sure. There is a name between Robert Mims Jr. and Elizabeth Mims that I can not read. Can anyone help me out here? Can anyone tell me when the Cobbs first married into the Mims family? I was thinking around 1830 or1840, but now I am thinking earlier than that. Jan

It seems that all of the experienced Mims researchers are suddenly shy, (I am a novice), because Sam Mims "book" is known to most of them. Sam Mims' "Leaves of Grass" is more like a pamphlet than a book. I have it somewhere, but can't locate. As I recall it was 15-20 pages. Have read numerous messages from various researchers indicating that at least some of Sam Mims' work is in dispute. To my knowledge I do not tie into his line, so his "book" was not helpful to me. Since it is so small, perhaps someone will post it on line.

I'm a bit more than half way through making a careful comparison of the transcript Betty kindly provided, apparently made by John Mims, and the one I received some time ago, transcribed in 1996 by Kate Shue. There is considerable difference in paragraphing, and the formatting of the lists of children, but otherwise the text of the two copies is generally the same. In most of the few differences I found, it is apparent from the context that Kate's transcript is more accurate. In several cases, the years in dates differ by one year, and it is impossible to judge which is true to the original. Based on what I've seen so far, I conclude Kate's transcript is a largely accurate rendition of Sam's original paper. If anyone cares for the details, I'd be happy to supply them.

Both copies that I have appear to be the same information even though I received them from two different nice people who were willing to share. This is how my copy # 1 of Sam Mims' Leaves begins. My question--in the last paragraph of this snip, he mentions his book. What book? Does anyone have it? Did Sam Mims ever complet the book Red Sticks and Fort Mims? If so, do anyone have a copy of it? My copy from which the snip below was taken is about 14-15 pages long in MS Word. Does anyone else have a different copy? betty in ga +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++= Compiled by Sam Mims 117 Marshall Street Post Office Box 720 Minden, Louisiana March, 1961 This is not a genealogy, nor is it a complete history of the Mims family; it is residue from material I gathered from which to write a narrative history of the Red Stick War, erroneously called the Creek Indian War. In some history books and in biographies of Andrew Jackson we were told that Samuel Mims, a wealthy planter, transformed his plantation home into a military garrison; that after the massacre there it was called Fort Mims. We were informed that Samuel Mims was a half-breed. Aware of the fact that my name is the same as that borne by the man who was murdered in the most horrible massacre that ever occurred on American soil, I responded to the urge to make a study of Fort Mims and the man for whom it was named. I was not embarrassed because he was referred to as a half-breed. I have high regard for American Indians. But after learning that Samuel was not a half-breed, I felt impelled to trace his lineage back to the first American Mims. Ten years of research for the State of Louisiana, followed by four years in Washington, gave me opportunity to pursue the study. Countless hours were spent in the Library of Congress, the National Archives, the Bureau of Land Management in the Department of Interior, and other departments and agencies at our Nation's capital, digging into original sources for facts about Samuel Mims and the Red Stick War. Having completed a book which I am calling RED STICKS AND FORT MIMS I am now reluctant to discard the residue of my findings which concern the Mims family. The purpose of LEAVES FROM THE MIMS FAMILY TREE is to make available data that I accumulated, very little of which was used in my book for the reason that I needed only to know the lineage of Samuel Mims at Fort Mims. This presentation of my residue may be a basis from which others can work. It may encourage other descendants of this pioneer family to compile a genealogy of Their ancestors. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Copy # 2 Subject: LEAVES FROM THE MIMS FAMILY TREE Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 14:37:07 -0500 From: jmimms@greenville.infi.net To: halbet@cybersouth.com Betty: Mr Sam himself let me borrow the book and I made a copy of it in my Air Force Office at Barksdale AFB, LA.
