Dear Betty and Sherra, Please look at the original email message below, from Sherra, in which it is said that Drury Mims married Elizabeth Woodson 1761. My own ancestor is Shadrach Mims, who died 11-17-1777, and left a Will, and was married to Elizabeth Woodson 5-24-1760, Goochland Co VA. My cousin bought the Book on the WOODSON family in America, and this summer I copied off the pages which specifically pertain to my Mims-Woodson line. My question is: Is the Elizabeth Woodson married in 1761 the same woman as the one married in 1760? Or is this a case of 2 separate women, both having the same exact name, and both married Mims husbands, but one is called Drury and the other Shadrach? My specific line does use the name Drury later. As in Drury Shadrach Woodson Mimms, s/o Robert, s/o Shadrack Mims and Elizabeth Woodson, s/o David Mims and Agnes Weldy.(My line is VA to Logan Co KY as of 1810) ALSO: I have recently had fun using a FREE and searchable newspaper: http://www.pastportal.com go to VIRGINIA GAZZETTE, then clink on "M" for the listings, then scroll through many Mims, Mimms names. These are very old colonial Virginia newspapers, I did see many names I recognised. They are articles as well as advertisments. I found some of my ancestors had advertised for lost horses, etc. It gives the dates, the locations, and helps to understand their world then. Try it.
