Estella, please do not correspond directly to my email regarding census lookups. Anything to do with any query should be in the archives. I had attempted to find your Sam Mims thru the TexShare database with no luck. Went into Ancestry this morning and found him. 1870 Red River Co., TX, Clarksville P.O., August 1, 1870, Stamped page 53 576, 576 Letha Mims, 40, F, B, AL, keeping house, $100 personal estate Sam, 17? 19?, M, B, TX, laborer Harriet, 14, F, B, TX James 12, M, B, TX Dick, 6, M, B, TX Alleck, 5, M, B, TX Letha thru James is marked "can't read/write". Sorry I didn't find him before.

I'm also not sure when Sam Mims came to Red River County or if he was always in Red River County what happened to his family. It is possible he was there but just wasn't listed in 1870 for whatever reason. I've seen Mims in Marion, Panola, Freestone and a few other counties but have no idea if they are any relation to my Mims. It makes me curious if my Mims migrated from another county to Red River County. Were John Mims and Richard Mims listed in the same household? Was race noted for these 2 Mims? Thanks for the info.

I find only 2 Mims in TX 1870 between the ages of 11 and 30. John, 12, b. TX and Richd, 27, b. TX. Both are in Red River Co. They also happen to be the only two Mims listed for that county. Thought I might find his family and he was still living at home. What are his parents names? He may still be with them somewhere.

Linda, I'm sorry I thought I was posting to the list before. Thank you, this is just the information I've been looking for. On the 1900 census it shows that one of James children is named Letha. My guess is she is named for her grandmother Letha.
