Oma L. Grimsley aka Eldridge Grimsley

mysteryayres — 2011-09-22 04:21:18Z

I am looking for date of death and burial of Oma L. Grimsley
aka Eldridge Grimsley. Forums and kingsmeadow has him for some reason listed as Eldridge. No proof to why. Oma is son of J. L. and Polly (Hulse)Grimsley--Born in Jonesboro, Tenn., Aug. 23,1878. Married to Ella M. Herron,born in Zanesville, OH, in 1912. Kingsmeadow has him passing away on
Jul. 24, 1926, but I am not finding any evidence of this yet. I have no idea where he passed away at or when his wife died. There son John O. Grimsley was born in Los Angeles County 1916. John and his sister, Rosa shows up living in Swink, Otero, Colorado with their aunt Rosa Bowser on the 1930's census. Sadly, John O. died in 1931. Family story is that a young boy fell into a grain silo and we believe it was Johnny. I have no info on little Rosa. Did Ella remarry?
Oma L. was listed on the "Who's who in the Pacific Southwest: a compilation of authentic
biographical sketches of citizens of Southern California and Arizona". He had an office of LA. He owned New La Paz Gold Mining Co.; member Chamber of Mines and Oil; So. Cal. Automobile Assn.; Municipal League; Sierra Madre Club and
moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina, S. A., 1900; engaged in mining in Andes mountains, 1901-03; operated Wild West Show throughout North and South America, 1906-08. Maybe, he is buried in South America?? Any info would be gretly appreciated.

I am assisting a friend in search of family.

If anyone has any info on this tragedy or Denice's family please contact me. We also have been told that her mother and a brother had died previously in a tragic Christmas eve fire. Any assistance would be wonderful.

Does this book have anything about Daniel S. Grimsley, married Frances Estes, also a son of John Grimsley and Hannah, and a brother of William B. Grimsley who married Agnes Norman? Thanks

Re: Samuel Grimsley

Bonnie0319 — 2010-12-31 22:46:18Z

Thank you for your response. I have checked Kingsmeadow. There are some Samuel Grimsleys but none which are close to mine in age or area - nor did they marry a Wendt.

This really is a mystery for me.

Re: Samuel Grimsley

danielgrimsley500 — 2010-12-27 21:12:48Z

You may want to do a search on "Descendants of Thomas Grimsley". Some of the sites have an extensive genealogy
of the Grimsleys. There was one site called "The Kingsmeadow"
that had 267 pages of Grimsley listings but I have not been
able to pull it up lately.

My line of Grimsleys come from eastern NC.

Samuel Grimsley

Bonnie0319 — 2010-12-27 20:08:23Z

Looking for any information on Samuel Grimsley, b 1861 d 1890. I find him buried in same cemetery with widow, Minnie Wendt and her second husband, Daniel Brown. This is at Day Chapel Cemetery, Seymour, Webster County, Missouri.

While I find his headstone, I cannot find him in any census or find his parents/siblings.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Re: Minnie Wendt-Grimsley-Brown

I have some info on Minnie if you are still looking?

Re: William Grimsley was born 1886 in Long Lawford Warwickshire

giggler6 — 2010-09-07 19:58:58Z

Well how great is that!!! Wouldn't it be great if I was related to you and your wife lol. There's a couple of people that got in touch with me through Genes Re-United regarding the Grimsley Tree - a Denise Soulsby - you'll have to look out for her.

There was a Beatrice Hewitt Marshall and she was living at 53 Pottery Street, Kirkcaldy when she died. Her only living child, Alexander Stewart Hird, was born at 5 Water Wynd, Crief.

Any information your wife have, however little, would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Re: William Grimsley was born 1886 in Long Lawford Warwickshire

Yes my Great Grandmother was Elizabeth Barton. I have been doing a lot of research myself since I posted the original message, now have a family tree of about 350 people so would be interested in comparing notes.
Your other message post regarding Marshall from Kirkcaldy, how did you get on with that? I might be able to help, my wifes maiden name is Marshall from Kirkcaldy area and has relatives that imagrated to the US

It does help. Thank you.

Re: Melinda Jackson md Littleton Grimsley 1827 Pike, GA

khgrimsley — 2010-08-29 19:14:33Z

Malinda Jackson and Littleton Grimsley had several children. It appears that she stayed in the central Georgia area. Her youngest daughter, Malinda was born in 1836, the same year Littelton died. Malinda Jackson died in 1850 when the youngest daughter would have been 14. I feel he stayed in the area since her son Thomas had a son named Emory C who died in Schley county. Schley is close to Merriwether county. Her parents were Coleby and Elizabeth. He was born in North Carolina. She was born in Germany. Emory C's grand son is my grandfather, Lester Coleby Grimsley. Hope this helps.

Melinda Jackson md Littleton Grimsley 1827 Pike, GA

gmbagwell — 2010-08-28 20:32:22Z

Would anyone have more information about Melinda Jackson who married Littleton Grimsley in 1827 in Pike County, GA? I believe Littleton died in 1836 in Meriwether, GA. Perhaps Melinda remarried and they moved. I would like to know more about ther.

Re: TheKingsMeadow website

danielgrimsley500 — 2010-07-25 02:36:04Z

I don't know why the website was removed. It was maintained
by Larry D. Kingsley of Gainsville, TX. His e-mail address
is kingsley@ntin.net but I could not contact him directly.
I had to do a search of kingsley@ntin.net or the kings meadow
and then click on to the link that states "personal website
of Larry D. Kingsley......" Then click on to "Grimsley

I have done some research on the Grimsley Family in NC and
would be glad to share what I have. Mine is mostly "straight
line" genealogy (not much effort on siblings of my ancestors)

Re Joseph Grimsley you mentioned in the last post. I find a reference to the following Joseph in the info supplied by Kent Grimsley to:

Joseph Daniel Grimsley, native of Highland County,
Ohio, Penn Township, New Petersburg; Fayette County in 1891, Concord Township, Washington Court House (b.4/-/1857) m.8/22/1880-Ellen Cunningham, aka "Ellie," native of Highland County, Ohio,Hillsboro; Fayette County, Washington Court House (b.4/-/1858)(Highland MR 10:219; Fayette Census 1900:10:85,86)

His father was:
J. Grimsley, native of Culpeper County, Virginia,Culpeper Court House; Rappahannock County (1835),Wocdville; Ohio
in 1845, Highland County, Paint Township, New Petersburg, farmer ( b. 1822 )m.-Elizabeth J. --- , Highland County, Ohio, Paint Township, New Petersburg, housekeeper (12/28/1822-11/25/1904)
(Culpeper Census 1830:.105:20; Rappahannock Ceneus 1840:35:10; Highland Cemeteries 431)

Could Elizabeth J be the Cunningham you mention?
I'd be happy to work on this a bit more for you if you send me more details on dates, etc.
diwag38@gmail.com

Since the locale is the same, I feel this person must be connected to your search. Do you have dates of birth for Miriam and Joseph?

Re: Grimsley link to Mary Todd Lincoln

dw2004 — 2010-03-25 03:15:19Z

The Grimsley Family in America book? Nope. But most of it is online, at Larry Kingsley's site, and thru the LDS Family History records, I believe.

Children of Thomas Grimsley and Isabel Lyons

gmbagwell — 2010-03-21 17:24:48Z

I have the children of Thomas Grimsley and Isabel Lyons listed as Sallie, Peggy, James, Nancy, John, William, Littleton, and Isabella. I also have information that Peggy Grimsley married William Lewis Franklin and her sister, Nancy, married William Franklin. Are the husbands the same person?

Re: Grimsley link to Mary Todd Lincoln

Max810 — 2010-03-15 03:04:59Z

My first wife was Miriam Grimsley, father was Joseph Baxter
Grimsley. He was born near Washington Court House, Fayette Co., Ohio I believe. His mother was a Cunningham. This is about all I know.

Is the book you have still in print? I had contacted the library in Washington CH but they did not have a copy.

Many thanks.

Re: Elizabeth Margaret Grimsley of Fauquier Co Va

multgal — 2009-10-06 02:51:55Z

You're right...I think I added incorrect info for George.
I checked the latest updates done by a Grimsley a couple of years ago, and have a more accurate list. If you'd like to email me at diwag38@gmail.com, I'll send it to you.
The Kingsley site probably has this too...and if it does not have siblings, etc., I can probably fill that in for you.

raconteur27 — 2009-03-22 17:50:10Z

Hello. I am in no way related to the Grimsley or allied families, therefore I cannot answer any specific questions.

A few years ago I bought a used car, and in the trunk...pushed way to the back, was a Bible. When I looked at it, the name June Grimsley was inscribed into the front cover. Inside this Bible was a handwritten page which listed the following:

Husband
Earnest Dale Grimsley
Wife
Nina Pearl Martin Grimsley

Their children (9) are listed as well.

I would like to return this Bible to a member of this family. You may email me at reachdebbie@gmail.com

Thank you again for this very large book on the name Grimsley.

So, are we really related to Mary Todd Lincoln?

I would get a kick out of this, but I don't know if it would mean anything other than entertainment.

My tree gets so big going backward it seems I am related to everyone Irish.
