He moved them frequently. One time he left them in McMinnville, Warren Co. He went from there to Jasper in Marion Co. She and the children were kicked out of a rented house in McMinnville (the rent expired), and they moved to a cabin on Cumberland Mountain. She got word to her mother and brother who came and got her and the children. Nimrod came to her mother’s and she went with him to try to live in Jasper. He stayed drunk and would not support her and the family, so she went back to her mother’s house, where she now lives and has for the past five years. Nimrod came to her mother’s but left again to Cumberland Mountain. He took some of the children but left them at Cumberland Mountain without anything and they ran away and returned to her. He came again and took five of her children to Jasper, and then left them again and went from there to Hamilton Co. The children returned to her. Nimrod took up with another woman in Hamilton Co. Last April he came to where Sally was living on her brother’s land and took all of her property. Last summer he and that woman he was living with her committed to Hamilton Co. Jail for stealing.
