Nimrod is named in his father James Randolph Sr's Will executed 15 June 1797 in Caswell County, North Carolina.^[1]

Nimron, age 85, passed away 27 May 1874, in Pulaski County, Kentucky. His death record lists him as age 85, farmer, widowed, born in Virginia, and died of old age.^[2] His parents are listed as J. Randolph and Polly Randolph.

Nimrod is not yet of age when his father executes his Will.^[1] His birth date is therefore estimated as, (15 June 1797 - under 21 years) = after 15 June 1776.

His birth date is estimated from his death record^[2] as, (27 May 1874 - 85 years) = about 1789.

His death record lists him as alternatively being born in Virginia.^[2]

Research Notes

• A previous entry on this profile had reference to Nimrod marring Matilda Phelps, daughter of Obediah Phelps and Margaret Peggy Dye, on 16 Mar 1850 in Pulaski County, Kentucky. Upon further investigation there is a record of a Matilda Phelps having married a Nimrod Randol in Pulaski County on that date Pulaski County, Kentucky Marriage Bonds 1799 to 1863, Pg. 150, fourth entry on page.

• The 1860 US Census does list a "Matilda Phelps, age 17" as living with the then "70" year old Nimrod. Given her age this could not be the same Matilda Phelps that married Nimrod Randol ten years earlier.
