GEDCOM Note

Nimrod was a Cooper from Powell Valley, Lee Co., Virginia. His family went to Missouri. There is a Nimrod Jr. born between 1-1782 that could be our Nimrod. Nimrod and Jemima came from Powell Valley, Virginia in 1820 and settled near Peak Mountain. Evidently they lived near Jellico Creek Old Baptist Church, see p. 497 McCreary Co. Kentucky Cemeteries. Nimrod was listed in the 1830 Whitley Co., Kentucky Census records but he was the only one in this county.
