Hello All, I am looking for information about Gideon Mims who died in Red River County, Texas about 1850. There is a reference to him in the "Mims Leaves" freeing about 10 ten slaves and giving the rest of his estate to his sister Sarah Holman of Virginia. I have also seen a transcribed Northern Standard newspaper that shows Gideon Mims as a representative from Jonesboro to the Republic of Texas Congress. Looking for information on J.M. Mims who sold 8 acres of land to the Clarksville Cemetery Association in 1895 that became the Fairview cemetery in Clarksville, Texas. Looking for information on any caucasian Mims of Red River County Texas from the 1860's and further back. Thanks Estella

Estella, I have a J.M. Mims from Red River County, Tex. There were two J.M. Mims in Clarksville, mine was John McIver Mims, lumber dealer, married to Mattie, daughter named Gertrude. He was born in 1849 at Fairfield, S.C. died in 1907 Clarksville, TX. If this is the right Mims I have much information on his family. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Estella Mims" <emo77@msn.com> To: <MIMS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 10:16 PM Subject: [MIMS,MIMMS,MIMBS] Texas Mims > Hello All, > > I am looking for information about Gideon Mims who died in Red River County, Texas about 1850. > There is a reference to him in the "Mims Leaves" freeing about 10 ten slaves and giving the rest of his estate to his sister Sarah Holman of Virginia.
