It has been found that the wife listed here is buried in Arms cemetery next to *John Nims (1797 - 1837) Arms Cem Shelburne Falls age 40 yrs. He may be the correct husband and not the John Nims IV here listed. The following is being added to the children's memorials as further research is necessary.

Disclaimer: At this time he/she is linked to the father that is in the history books, John Nims IV (1795-1836); it is believed that this may be an error that he should be linked to the *John Nims (1797 - 1837) Arms Cem Shelburne Falls that lays next to his/her mother here in Arms Cemetery. Further research will be necessary.
