Hello Mims Gang: Don't let John Mimms fool you because I know for a fact that he is a fine golfer and an even better BBQ and hushpuppy eater! I'm Stephen (Steve) S. Mims of Moscow, Idaho and I've been on this list for a while and have enjoyed corresponding with all of our fine Mims-related cousins. I am a North Carolina native, having moved to Idaho about 17 years ago. Seven generations of my Mims line lived in Chatham/Wake Counties N.C. so that is the "clan" of Mimses that I am particularly interested in. Recent work demands have kept me from doing much more than keeping an eye on this list and checking a few records here and there. Hopefully things will slow down some... My line: Thomas Mims from England and Anne - Virginia Linah or Lionel Mims and Mary Ann Martin - Virginia Joseph Mims and Susannah (last name unknown) - N. C. and eventually Chatham Co. (I should say that there is no concrete paper trail between Joseph and Linah or Lionel - just an educated guess that most agree with) David Mims and Elizabeth Cullen - Chatham Co. Young Mims and Mary "Polly" Boothe - Chatham Co. Walter Henry Mims and Martha Ellen Rollins - Chatham Co. Thomas Early Mims and Blanche Nash - Chatham Co. Spencer Rollins Mims Sr. and Madlyn Poole - Chatham Co. Spencer Rollins Mims Jr. and Mattie Brown Stancill (my parents) Good luck to all of you folks with your research and if I can help anyone with anything regarding the Chatham/Wake Mims let me know. -Steve
