ATLANTA ARCHIVES
From Papers Liz Grimes and Christine GRIMES
Thacker found at the Atlanta Archives:
On William Grimes: Out of estate pd to
Legatees, John Grantham (he married
Sarah ca 1833 so this tells me Sarah
was the daughter of William; their son was in
the household of James and Martha
Grimes in 1860. The Grantham were still
in Stewart Co 1850.) (More on James and
Martha later)
NANCY Grimes
Calvin Grimes
Cornelius Linch (Spelled Lynch
now.); husband of Harriet
Nancy Jr. (That is what it said.)
John (Could this be who they call John
Jr.?)
David Grimes
Needham Johnson (A Lucinda
Grimes married a William H.
Johnson 1/15/1840,Needham was married to Mary. There are so many mistakes
in the Stewart County history book. In the
book, it has wrtten that the bond for John
Grimes as $800 and it was $8,000. That
shows that John was better off than
William, whose bond on the estate was
$2,000, according to the book. I have not
found bond amount papers for William.)
November Term 1839, return 1/9/1840, another
paper has Minor Legatees for William
as Viz James (b: ca 1822 and later
married Martha Jane Grimes, daughter
of John and Catherine Frederick
Grimes); Lucinda; Buckner; ___?
not sure of this spelling but most likely
Louisa, Loiso ???; and
William.
Paper dated 7/11/1837 has Nancy as
Widow of William, another paper has
Mary.
Now for John:
John Grimes Adm, (note there's no Jr
on this one) (no dates, just a long sheet of
paper, and there are papers where these
people on this sheet have sign papers from
Coffee County, Alabama getting $487 from the
Estate of John Grimes Senr who died
1837); signed 7/27/1846; 3 witness by
Isaac Grimes and George K's is
witness by his brother, Marshall.

papers it has Jane, daughter of
John & Catherine)

(daughter of John and Catherine)
Grimes, George K
Mary C. (daughter of John and
Catherine)

Felix
7/25/1837 paper has Catherine as widow
of John. She only recieved $171.31 on
the Legatee paper dated 7/27/1846, and she
signed it CATHERINE Grimes. Paid Jan
