 THE STORY AS I KNOW IT.

Nimrod Street was born between 1784 and 1790. He was the youngest son of Thomas & Lucy Street. Thomas left a will in Rutherford Ct North Carolina. It was written August 23, 1795 and proved January 1, 1800. In the will he left "youngest son, Nimrod, 1 horse, valued at 15 pounds when he comes of age." This is in the Abstract of Wills of Rutherford Ct. by C.H. Davis

Nimrod Street married Catherine Parrack about 1807 in North Carolina. The Enoch name is one that has passed down through the family as the mother of Katherine Street. However, the Street Bulletin Board on the Web states that Nimrod Street, youngest son of Thomas and Lucy Street married Catherine Parrack, sister to Basil Parrack of Rutherford Ct.

The 1810 North Carolina Census list Nimrod Street in Rutherford County. At that time the household was listed thus:
1 male 16 - 26 years old - We believe this is Nimrod.
1 female 16 - 26 years old - We believe this is Catherine
1 son under 10
1 daughter under 10
1 man 26 - 45 years old - We don't know who this is.

We have found no 1820 census on this family.

In 1823 Nimrod Street bought land on the Tradewater River in Union Ct, Kentucky. The Union County Deed Book D 1828 – 1830 contains the sale on December 26, 1829 of 50 acres on the Caney fork of Tradewater. The owners were Nimrod Street and Caty, his wife.

By 1830 the family growth is shown on the Union County Census:
1 male over 40
1 female over 40
2 sons 10 - 20
2 sons under 10
3 females 10 - 20
2 females under 10

Nimrod died some time before 1840 for on that Union County Census the head of household is Catherine Street with following family:
1 woman over 40
2 sons 10-20
1 son under 10 (Known to be Simon)
1 female 20 - 40
1 female 10 – 20 (known to be Catherine)
1 female under 10

It is very probable that the 2 children listed on the 1810 Census have grown and left home by 1830. That means Katherine and Nimrod had at least 13 children. The only names known are the youngest daughter, Catherine Street born in 1832 and her sister Elizabeth Jane, age unknown and a son Simon also born in 1832. He may be a twin to Katherine. Elizabeth Jane and Catherine both married Blackburns in Caldwell County, KY.

Catherine lived to be over 91 years of age, living with various daughters in her old age. We do not know where either Nimrod or Catherine are buried.
