Linda; thank you so much for the information on William Wright MIMS and his wife. Do you have documentation on this? William Riley MIMS is my great great grandfather. He married Martha Pharr/Farr 2nd in Wilcox Co. Al. and he died there after the Civil War. I have all his information and the family from William Riley Mims forward, but I have never been able to document William Mims the father and his wife. I do have William MIMMS age 46 in Baldwin Co GA in 1850 with wife, Mariah MIMMS age 47 and children William R. 17; Jefferson P. 20, and what appears to be D. C., age 5 or 8. My copy of this census is terrible. In 1860 I show Wm. MIMS age 56 born SC living in Wilcox Co AL with wife, Maria MIMS 58 born SC Ann MIMS 18 born GA Wm. R. MIMS 27 b. GA and Georgian MIMS age 3 born in AL (This is Wm. R. MIMS daughter.) In 1870 Riley MIMMUS is listed on pg 388 Wilcox Co AL age 35 born AL wife MARTHA 26, AL Georgiana 12, AL Josephine 7 AL Fannie 2 AL. In 1880 Wm. R. MIMS age 45 in Wilcox Co AL with wife Martha J. 41 and George Ann 20 Thomas 7 Sallie A.5 and Oceola 1 living in the household is Ella F. Martin, 11 niece Caroline FARR 34 sister in law Sarah F.

Billie, All I had was what I posted, and looks like you have more than I do. I will be posting the Gedcom soon, so if I forget you and do find something, it should be in that. Linda in KCMO
