Many thanks to John Van Zandt for providing so many of us with the 1789 Goochland Co VA tax list. Here is my identification of all of the Mims listed: Gideon Mims (1740-aft1794), son of David Mims and Agnes Weldy, wife Elizabeth Parrish Robert Mims (1763-aft1789), son of John Mims and Sarah Horn, wife unknown Martin Mims (1756-aft1810), son of John Mims and Sarah Horn, not married (?) Sarah Mims, widow of John Mims (1731-aft1773) Robert Mims Jr (1764-aft1820), son of Shadrack Mims and Elizabeth Woodson, wife Lucy Poor Estate of David Mims dec'd, David Mims (1701-1781) Elizabeth Mims, widow of Shadrack Mims (1732-1777) The two Roberts could be reversed. "Jr" doesn't imply "son of" in this era, but means he is the younger of the two Robert Mims in the county. Ann Blomquist Orlando, FL
