JOE MARVIN GRIMES died Feb. 24, 1879 aged 3 years, 5 months and 24 days; s/o L. W. and Eliza Grimes.

I found a living GRIMES who is currently trying to assist me with our GRIMES

Ida Grimes Mother is Frances GATEWOOD GRIMES.
The Will listed below is Ida's Grandmother, Nancy GATEWOOD. I have this in my possession if anyone wants a scan of it.
Here is Nancy's Will:

Logan County, Kentucky
Will of GATEWOOD, Nancy Book M pages 395-397
All funeral expenses and debts are to be paid. Ann Gatewood, deceased daughter, was wife of Col. Ed. Fort. Their son, Whitman, receives $500.00; their son George W. gets $100.00 and the note for $350.00 which I paid for him at Logan County National Bank in Russellville. Residue of estate, real and personal, goes to son Jesse Gatewood and daughter, Frances Grimes, to be equally divided. Jesse's part is to be held in trust by sister Francis. If Jesse dies, bulk to go to sister Francis Grimes. If Jesse survives her, then at his death the bulk is to be divided between Francis' children.
Written: 10 Sept 1878 Signed with mark [x] Executors: Frances Grimes, daughter to serve without security. Witnesses: C. Riley and J.S. Rose Probated: 28 Nov 1882.

More About them: Frances GATEWOOD GRIMES Her favorite thing in life was a smoking a Tobacco Pipe with Cherry Leaves.
James L GRIMES was a tall red headed Irishman, with a Temper so I'm told. They had big place (Plantation) and had many slaves, very productive people. Well known in the area. (KY-TN)
