Grimes Family Research
I am Searching the HUGH GRIMES line , the known sons of Hugh were James bca1747, Sampson bca1749 and Joseph, we believe he had sons John and Julious,and there could be others, James Grimes m Sarah Winders, Sampson m Bethsheba Winders, a sister to Sarah. HUGH had daus but we are not sure who they were,so what i am puting in this letter may have names other than Grimes so if someone has a female GRIMES in the time period married to a name mention it may help to trace the family back to HUGH, his sons, or the names below could be brothers of HUGH GRIMES,or kin somehow. Sampson-Duplin Deed bks1-3. (abstract) names & dates Hugh Grimes Sampson Grimes Joseph Grimes Willis Grimes Wm Grimes. 10April 1752 8/Oct 1761 8 OCt 1761 9 Oct 1764 12 Jan 1765. 7 Sept 1772 wit:5Oct 1771 7Sept 1772 5 Oct 1771. There were more dates but as you can see from the dates on the top line that none of HUGH'S sons would have been old enough to buy sell or witness . So who are the other Men?? If you have any of these names in your datebase or line Please let me know. bk 4 pg 477 John Sullivan to HUGH GRIMES 5 Oct 1771. bk 5 " 399 Hugh Grimes to James Grimes (his son) 15 Oct 1777.
