Has anyone on the list gone to the Clayton Library lately? I tried a few times right after the construction started on what my friend calls the "Tooterville Trolly". They had so much blocked off that I could not get to the parking area. I am still searching for info on Oscar Mims (Ar) father, who was born in Kentucky in 1840 or 41. His name was John M Mims. He was listed as John H Mims in the 1850 Kentucky census. I searching for his family. I thought his father's name was also John, but now have leads that it may be the brother of the elder John, who was David Russell (or Davis Russer) Mims. Our John M Mims was one of several John M Mims living in and around Red River County, Texas in the 1860's. Our John M Mims married Margaret Warren in Red River COunty. They then moved to Arkansas, where John had lived before the war. Jan
