Since Jesse James' name was mentioned here, I guess I should speak up. I am from that Mimms line which is married to Jesse James, and also shares ancestry with Jesse James thru the Woodson ancestry of Dr. John Woodson. If anyone has any Jesse James questions, feel free to email me, I have a very good file on him and related families such as: Cole, Dorsey, Lindsay, Poor, etc. I also have the Younger brothers ancestry. Best regards, Lillian Kathleen Martin Logan Co KY Mimms family. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry Reigel" <terry@reigelridge.com> To: <MIMS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 12, 2004 10:50 AM Subject: Re: [MIMS,MIMMS,MIMBS] Sam Mims Leaves > Thanks, John.

LillY, I am both a Mims and Cole descendant, I have tried for some time to connect my Cole line to Zerelda Elizabeth (Cole) James, mother of Jesse James. I would greatly appreciate any information you have on the Cole line. Sam Mims was my Grandmothers nephew, her name was Drucilla C. Mims, daughter of David James Mims.
