Martha Mims

(1836 - Nov 1933)



This Martha was very young yet she's the only available candidate for a marriage, 25 Aug 1850, Autauga Co. Martha Mims to William Wilson. She was counted with her parents in the 1850 census, age 14 - the date is smeared on all the pages. Of course she would have been with her parents prior to the census date which was June 1st.
