Can't seem to make any headway with my MIMS. I don't know much about them so far but here is what I have: Amanda M. Mims married Samuel Washington Glover. She was born ca 1828 and he ca 1812/13. The only children that I know of was three daughters: Mary, who married Thomas Myers, Sarah and Nancy M, who married Nathaniel Henthorn. I descend from Nancy Mims Glover who married Nathaniel Henthorn, through their son Samuel Glover Henthorne. 1880 Federal Census of Pulaski Co. Ark, Ellis Township. Samuel W. Glover age 67, born in IN. Amanda M. Glover, age 52, born GA. daughters: Nancy M. age 25, Sarah age 24, both born in Ark. I guess daughter Mary was already married by that time. My Nancy didn't marry until 1885, which would have made her "old maid" in those days! Unless she had a 1st marriage we don't know about. All Nancy's kids are by Henthorne. Nancy married my Henthorne in Saline Co. Ark. I do not know date or places of death for my Samuel W. & wife Amanda. Any info appreciated. Karen Ray

Did William Wright Mims and wife, Mary Matilda Riley get a divorce? I have the 1860 census showing: -1860 AL Wilcox county, East Division William Mims 56 m SC This is William Wright Mims Ann 18 f GA This is his daughter Anne William R. Mims 27 m GA This is his son William Riley Mims Georgian 3 f AL This is his granddaughter Georgia Ann I have that his wife died in 1903, but she is not listed here. I DO have that she married Angus Mc Kenzie in 1845 and they had a daughter Mary Duncan Mc Kenzie, who then marries Wright L. Mims in 1866. As stated William Riley is accounted for in the 1860 census, and his sister Ann. Missing are, of course the mother and siblings, Susan Jane (20), Wright Sylvester (14), Jefferson Benjamin (9) and Cynthia Matilda (2). This would make sense that Susan probably married, Anne stayed to care for her father, William Riley and his daughter were there, IF his wife died, AND if the missing persons were in the 1860 census, in the home of Angus Mc Kenzie. Does this make sense, or have I lost it? Linda in KCMO
