    • Notes: 

    • Geoffrey Nims's surname is also seen as Nimes and Nismes. No evidence has been found to support the claim that he was a Huguenot.

      There is a baptism record for a Godfray Nymm, son of Henry and Ellen, baptized at St. Clement Danes Church, Westminster, England 21 OCT 1648 (FHL No. 5109081, image 45). However, more evidence is needed to determine if this is the same man as Godfrey Nimms found in New England.
