Jessamine Co. Nimrod Guy, post-office Paynesville, farmer and stock raiser, was born in Jessamine county, Kentucky, February 5, 1817; is a son of Robert and Elizabeth Guy. When he was an infant his parents immigrated to Pike county, where he was reared and educated, living with his parents until he grew to manhood. In 1835 he went to the lead mines of Wisconsin where he remained two seasons, and by hard work and strict economy he saved $300, which was the starting point of his large accumulations. After returning home, he with his elder brother entered eighty acres of government land. He afterwards purchased his brothers interest, on which place he has since made his home. He was first married, April 2, 1846, to Ms. Elizabeth Phelps, a native of May county, Virginia. By this union were three children, of whom one still survives, Mrs. Anna B. Forgey, the wife of Andrew J. Forgey, a prominent farmer of Calumet township and a resident of Paynesville. His wife died March 10, 1876. He was again married, March 29, 1877, to Mrs. Russie Thurman, a daughter of Joseph and Rachel Erritt, who was a prominent preacher of the Christian Church at Paynesville for thirty-two years. Mrs. Guy has two children by her former marriage: Polly and John E. Thurman. Mr. Guy has a farm of over 700 acres of improved land under a high state of cultivation. He and his wife are members of the Christian Church. Col. Sandi Gorin - GORIN worldconnect website: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/~sgorin
