The exact year of Nimrod's birth is uncertain. US Census of 1850, 1860, 1880 place Nimrod's birth year between 1820-1824, which is fairly consistent for the census. A birth of 1820 or 1821 would have placed Nimrod at the traditional age for marriage to Nancy in 1838. (She was 15.) Most accept 1820 as his birth year.
Nimrod was living with his daughter, Bethania and son-in-law James during the 1900 US census. He is not recorded in a later census. His death in 1905 is an approximate guess. Nimrod's burial location has yet to be found.
Nimrod was a popular name for the son of a McIntosh during this era. There were several called Nimrod McIntosh living within the same location through the 1800s, such as Lieutenant Nimrod, son of Absolom and Rachel McIntosh.
Dr. Edward Guerrant was referenced in an article by Pansie Echton Otley, who wrote an article, "Religion Versus the Feud", printed in The Mt. Sterling Advocate newspaper on 3-5-1901. The article was first published in the Atlanta, Georgia Journal. Dr. Guerrant told of his meetings in Breathitt County and is quoted.
This article states that"Among others came old Uncle Nym McIntosh, the oldest man in that settlement, and asked that he and his wife Nancy might be baptized that day." Dr. Guerrant had a policy of waiting until the end of his scheduled meetings which could run several days and then conducting a baptismal service for all who wished to be baptized. He told Mr.McIntosh this, and the old man replied that he and Nancy had never had a chance to be baptized before and that if they went home beyond Quicksand and if the river swelled, that they might not have another chance. Dr. Guerrant baptized both that day. He added that there was now a church in the area and Nym McIntosh was an elder there.
