Dear Grimes Family Group: I recently received some information about the Coffield Family fromDon Coffield (primarily I was interested inthe Coffield Family - Penelope Coffield married Dempsey Grimes in NCin 1760.) Included in his information was the Marriage of William Grimes and Nancy Coffield (b. abt 1807) on 05 Mar. 1828. Most likely the marriage tookplace in Livingston Co., KY. Nancy was the daughter of Dempsey Coffield (1765-1816). The William Grimes is probably not connected to the NC Grimes'or Dempsey Grimes, but would like to know if anyone has any information onthese two, particularly the family of William Grimes (who married NancyCoffield.) Thanks

William Grimes and Nancy Coffield married March 5, 1828 in Livingston Co. KY. Benjamin Grimes, father, of William gives his consent, and Robert Coffield, brother, of Nancy gives his consent. I have a copy of this marriage and the consents.
I believe that Benjamin Grimes that marries in 1837 is the brother to thisWilliam.
Benjamin's mother Sarah gives her consent.
By 1850 this Benjamin and William are in McCracken Co. KY., living just a few doors down from my Grimes.
I have no proof yet, but believe the father Benjamin is related to my John Grimes Sr. of Union Co. KY on the 1820 census.Kim

<< A John Grimes (the brother of Demsie/Dempsy Grimes , married an Eliz.Wingfield (no proof).
There was another brother named Thomas Wingfield Grimes (no vital stats). These are sons of William Thomas Grimes of Norfolk. All ofthis is suppositional and has no proof as far as I know. >>
Hi John , i have not come across where John was a bro to Dempsy, where did you find that??
Thomas Wingfield Grimes was a son not a bro of John, the Wingfield name came in after John m Elizabeth Wingfield. (i know that there is a Joseph Wingfield Grimes also, have not looked at the chart so i hope i have it right:-), )Good luck to all
