John T Grimes (b. 1790, d. 1870)
Notes for John T Grimes:
John Grimes was the son of Dawson and Darcus Grimes. I went to the Grimes Cem. in Angelina County and took some pictures of some of the Grimes' tombstones and Naomi's was one of them as well as her son Marion Grimes and a few others. John Grimes of course is not buried there as he died along the side of the Mississippi River on his way back to Pike County. Naomi had to bury him there and then rode on to Pike County to return with an undertaker because she new John wanted to go home, but his body was so badly decomposed at that time that she had to just leave him there. She returned to Angelina Co. where she died in 1861.:Connie Garcia 1/3/2001.
Info for Marion Grimes from Connie , she has a birth date as 6/2/1850, in the 1860 it has age 12,I am wondering if the age for Naoma/Naomi, 60 is right , she would have been 48 or 50 when Marion was born.
