I don't believe that I have ever introduced myself to the entire group--so here I am. I am Janet Sims and I live in Hattiesburg, MS. I am researching the Mims Family of Chatham and Wake Counties. My direct ancestor is David Mims whom many say married Eliabeth Cullen. But I have not found any proof that she was a Cullen. Would love for someone to prove her parantage. I believe that David's Father was Joseph Mims, (wife Susanna). Joseph I believe was a son on Lionel Mims. But it seems that this Lionel is not the same one who married Ann Martin. It is possible that he was a son of Lionel and Ann Martin. I have done much research on the Mims family in Georgia, because Joseph's other sons: William, John, Martin, Drury and Joseph, Jr. all migrated to GA about 1782. Elizabeth Mims, widow of David, her son Robert and daughter Siddy also moved to Georgia after David's death. I have also done much research in Alabama, especially Monroe, Baldwin, counties tracing the descendants of William Brittan and Needham Mims, sons of my David, who migrated to AL about 1820. Janet Sims My line descends from David, through his son Young Mims and Young's son Barnett Stinson Mims, who migrated to Mississippi. Janet Sims
