Looks like some of our "connects" between parents and children of Lawrence Co., OH Imes' aren't correct.In my rummaging about among old letters, I have found a photocopy of a list of the children of Thomas Imes and Huldah Bagley who were married Jan 9, 1831 in Lawrence Co. OH.The author of this list was a granddaughter, Mary Alice Imes Mock, the daughter of Harmon Imes, and she was writing to her cousin.She entitles her handwritten list "Your fathers parents & brothers & sisters" and, using the old spelling of Iams begins with parents "Thomas Iams was born Jan 9, 1800" and "Huldah Iams was born Oct 1, 1809".The children's names and dates of birth follow, numbered for birth order.They are: William H Iams, born April 29, 1832; Sarah Jane Iams, born Sept 14, 1833;Harmon Iams, born August 26, 1834; Julia Iams, born May 14, 1836;Betsey L. Iams, born March 23, 1838;John Iams, born March 20, 1840;Rhoah Iams, born April 11, 1843; and Sarah M Iams, born August 26, 1846.She added a note:"Thomas Imes died Dec 4 1874.Huldah Imes died 1878.No month given.It seems by this record the name was formerly spelled Iams but we dont know when or why it was changed to Imes.... This is all we have about any of Pappas relatives. (signed) Mary A. Mock"I think Mary Mock was copying out of an old family Bible or other document, because she says "No month given" about her grandmother's date of death.I have seen information quoted by someone else who is researching which lists two other children: Thomas Imes with a birth date of Nov. 30, 1842, probably in Lawrence Co., OH and Isaac Jasper Imes with no birth information.These are not Thomas & Huldah Bagley Imes' children according to my family information.[Notice that Huldah would have had to give birth to two children 4 1/2 months apart for Thomas (dob. Nov. 30, 1842) and Rhoah (dob April 11, 1843) to both be hers!]Rosemary Imes Frey
