How many on this list would want to have a family reunion in Edgefield, South Carolina in the month of May 2004? Some of us are trying to set one up if we can get enough to come. Roy Mims, San Diego, Ca.

Hello, again, Mavis Mims sent me a question about Alfred J. Mims, so on further study, I think that Alfred J. Mims was the boy in the household of James C. Mims in 1850. This is a better fit that the one that I sent last time: 1850 Charleston Co SC p 402 James C. Mims 50 Sumpter Dis [Sumter Co SC] Mrs. Susannah H. 32 St. James Goose Creek Thomas H 18 " Amanda K 16 " Alfred J 11 " Akin A 5 St. Johns Berkly Eliza C 3 " C??? Calhoun (m) 2/12 " This is more likely your Alfred J. Mims. I couldn't find the family in the 1840 census. Ann B.

Hello, Your Alfred J. Mims is probably the following person in earlier census records: 1860 Charleston Co SC p265 E. R. Patterson (m) 21 SC Ann 50 Elizabeth 15 Mary 14 William Steel 27 A. J. Mims (m) 21 [probably Alfred J Mims] Robert Steel 10 1850 Charleston Co SC p419 Alexander Mims 34 SC Charlotte 20 [maybe error in age?] Mary 15 John J 9 [should be Alfred J, age 10/11] John 8 Manda 3 James O 1 Silas 6/12 I couldn't find Alfred and Euphame in 1870, but I only looked quickly. It seems that Alexander and/or his wife Charlotte died 1850-1860, so that Alfred was living with the Patterson family. Where were Alfred's siblings who were still underage? Unfortunately, I do not know the parents of Alexander. Hope this helps some. Ann Blomquist Orlando, FL Descendants of Alexander Mims 1. ALEXANDER1 MIMS was born c 1816 in SC. He married CHARLOTTE L. UNKNOWN c 1834 in prob SC. She was born c 1818 in SC. More About ALEXANDER MIMS: Fact 2: 1850, Charleston Co SC p419 Fact 3: 1860, Charleston Co SC, parents dead?

I found the grave of Lucius C. Mims here in Houston and was wondering if anyone has anything in thier files on him. I found on LDS.ORG that in the 1880 census he is listed with his parents Alfred J. Mims age 41 born in SC, Euphame Mims age 36 born in SC, Lucius Mims 11, SC, Julian Mims 9, SC and Alfred's mother in law Ann R. Patterson 70, SC. Lucius died on April 30, 1891 at the age of 22 years old which I have from the tombstone. The folks at the cemetery said they have him as being from Charleston, SC. The cemetery lot has a few different names in it most are infants or children. Here are some of the last names: Ingram; Millner; Payton; McKee; White. Any help would be appreciated.

I just opened the picture of Drury Mims Jr. I really appreciate seeing this. There is one thing that stands out. Don't laugh, it is the ears. Notice how they are kind of short and low on the head and stick out just a little? I have a picture of my grandfather, Oscar Mims, and a picture of someone I think is Oscar's father, John Mims. Richard Armstrong and I have compaired photos of Oscar and the one I think is John with his Linah Mims, who is John Mims brother. The ears are just alike, so are Drury Mims Jr.'s ears, as far as I can tell. I would be interested in seeing pictures of other Mims. Thanks again for sending the picture. Jan

Hi Roy: I would love to have the pix of Drury Jr. and/or Sr.! We are off-shoots through siblings. Thank you for the offer. Look forward to seeing him (them). Karen Atherton nee Mims

Ann-List Moderator. Is there any way that we can post a query to the list and have people put their names on it and reply to the list and get the people on the list who are descendants of Drury Mims Sr. d 181 8 in Edgefield SC and from which child of his they descend? I have tried to figure out a way so that it would be like a chain letter so that we would only have to archive one email to keep. That was a long rambling sentence. For example: Winnie Mims Ware-betty in ga Drury Mims Jr-- Marie in SC I would be interested in attending a Mims reunion. Why don't we plan it for Edgefield in the late fall or early spring. It is too hot there in the summer.There is a good little hometown restaurant on the square. I will be glad to arrange with the courthouse crew to have us a private tour and I'll bet the Tompkins library would do us a special tour of its holdings and let us use its meeting room. Don't ask me how many people it will hold but I can find out. I will do the courthouse and the library. Who will be my backup in case something happens to me?We could volunteer for each job in this way. Ann, thank you for all of your time. betty in ga

Would like to have a copy of the Drury Mims picture. Thank you, Willis Patterson
