Individual Details
Nichodemus Keith
(1755 - Abt 1831)
We have not been able to find why Nichodemus was called 'Judge'. We are inclined to think it was a title because 'Judge' was not used in any other record we have found, and neither have we found it used by any of his descendants.
The manuscript, "The Keith Family", a partial review as remembered and reported by George M. Keith, of Abilene, Texas, and John M. Keith, of South Fort Worth, Texas, from the tradition of their father, Captain John J. Keith, son of John 'Birden' Keith, was sent to us by Mrs. E. E. Watson, James Canyon RT, Mayhill, NM 88339. It served as the foundation for additional research from which we, and many others, accumulated and developed the information to compile this book.
Quote from the above manuscript: "Gabriel and Nichodemus Keith, sons of William Keith, were Born in Ireland, and came to America at an early day - early enough to join the Revolutionary Army - and fought under Washington, and for every war this country has engaged in since then, their descendants have furnished their full quota of soldiers.
