Biography

Nimrod Shepherd was born in October 27, 1820 in Virginia. The family settled in Missouri. Nimrod married Sarah Ann Combest (she went by Sally), August 17, 1845, in Andrew County, Missouri.[1][2]

In 1850 Nimrod, Sally and three children (William, Martha and Andrew), lived in Platte Township in Andrew County, next door to Sally's parents, William and Gilla Combest. They were farmers. Also in the neighborhood were Nimrod's parents Enoch and Lavinia Shepherd.[3]

Nimrod Shepherd died intestate in 1862.[4] His widow Sally was Administrator of his estate July 7, 1862. One source, reported by his daughter Gilla I. Shepherd Laughlin, says Nimrod entered the confederate army in 1861 and was killed.[5]
