I can answer Linda's question about the first census below... The Sarah J. Tyler in the census was born Sarah Jane Mims, daughter of Linah and Rebecca Mims. I don't know anything else about Rebecca, but I know a lot about Linah. Unfortunately, I do not know who his parents were! (Someone told me it was Shadrack, but didn't answer my email when I asked for the reasoning/proof/guesswork behind that.) So, back to the census below... Sarah Jane Mims married Marcus M. Tyler on May 25, 1842 in Caldwell Co., KY. Some of the children on the census belong to Sarah's siblings. I guess everyone sent a kid or two to visit Aunt Sarah's at the time that the census was taken!?!? Anyway, Sarah had at least one brother, John Mims, and at least two sisters, Cornelia and Julia Mims. Her sisters Cornelia and Julia Mims married two Cobb brothers. But back to the census below: R. H. Cobb is Robeson, son of Cornelia Mims & Robert Cobb Irene Cobb is the daughter of Julia Mims & Joshua Cobb Linah M. Cobb is the son of Cornelia Mims & Robert Cobb I'm not sure who the last 3 kids on the census belonged to. They could be the children of an unknown brother of Sarah's - they've got the Mims surname. I am fairly sure that they are not the children of her one known brother, John H., because I've got his family well-documented. But of course I could be wrong about that - maybe they are his kids. I am a descendant of Sarah's sister Julia and would DESPERATELY like to know the parentage of their father, Linah. Consequently, their father is the Linah Mims that was the Lt. Gov. of Virginia for a time. The family lived in Lewisburg, VA, then Richmond, VA, then moved to Kentucky. I have a lot more information about them if anyone is interested.
