Not sure if this is THOMAS NEWTON MIMS but there is a Thomas Mims on the 1900 Census who was born Aug 1869 in Texas and his parents were from Alabama. This Census is from Limestone County which is adjacent to McLennan County which is the county for Waco. This Thomas was married to Emma for 9 yrs. Their children listed on the census are: Lillie May (daughter), Affie (daughter), Terrell (son). The 1910 census has THOMAS N. MIMS in Scurry County, TX and has the same children listed with son in law Will Dryden and a grandchild Florsie(?). Also are new children Lena and Vera. The 1920 census has THOMAS N. MIMS in Wood County with the same children and a new one J.R. (3 yrs old). The 1930 Census has THOMAS N. MIMS in Scurry County at age 63. Son John R. Mims is now 14 yrs old. There are also grand children listed: Dorothy D.; J. Terrel; Billy Jean. Hope this helps. If this looks like who you are looking for e-mail me privately and I can get you more details.
