ZADOK4 NIMS (according to the true Biblical spelling, but Zadoc Nims, as he wrote it), son of David3, III., was a farmer living in Sullivan at [Lot] 152, in a large two-story house which formerly stood there. It was the farm which his brother Asahel4, who was killed at Bunker Hill, had purchased. After the latter's death, it passed by inheritance to his father, David3, of whom Zadok4 purchased it. The present owner, C. A. Brooks, married a descendant of Sakok4, and the farm has always been in the family. Zadok4, d. at 152, Jan. 31, 1842, nearly 88 years of age.
