HiO'Donna! How ironic. Most of my ancestors were from around the Barnwell, SC area--old Barnwell District--now present day Bamberg,SC. Bamberg is where i was born and raised. I recently moved to California. Anyway, my grandfather is John A. Mimms and his father was Miles Edward Mims. Miles' father was William McPherson Mims who married Mary M. Dubose. William McPherson mims' parents were Shadrach Mims, Jr and Elizabeth Dowsing. Shadrach Jr's parents were Shadrach Mims and Elizabeth Kirkham. Shadrach's parents were Robert mims and Sarah Pace. And Robert Mims' parents were LINAH MIMS and MARY ANNE MARTIN. I believe your Melly Anne Martin was a sister to my Mary Anne Martin. Is that correct? Now I have 2 Thomas Mims. The one Thomas Mims (no dates) was the son of my William McPherson Mims and Mary DuBose. The other was born about 1706 in VA and died on April 28, 1711 in VA and was the son of Linah Mims and Mary Anne Martin. I don't have his wife' s name. But my other notes Say that a Thomas Mims was married to Melly anne Martin as mentioned above. Can you tell me more? Thanks! Joy hughes [email protected] --- [email protected] wrote: > Hi, everyone!
