Notes
General:
It is believed that Mary Caroline Greathouse Mims was 1/4 or 1/2 Indian blood, but this has not been proven. Family history suggest that she was 103 years old (born c.1860) when she died. According to the Family Bible of Ida Peal Mims Gilley, Mary Caroline Greathouse Mims died 4 Jan 1939.Marriage Notes (John Thomas Jefferson Mims)
I have heard that Mary Caroline Greathouse Mims was sometimes call "Polly" or "Sis" which may account for "Sis" Greathouse marrying "Jeff" Mims... JPM,Jr.
