Excerpt from Memoir of the Life, Character, and Method of Rev. Joseph Nimmo
Soon after the completion of his course in divinity at Princeton, the young licentiate received a call from the Presbyterian church at Portsmouth, Va., and he became the first pastor of that church. Here he met Hannah Dickson, to whom he was united in marriage January 1829. His wife's mother, the widow of Captain John Dickson, was a staunch Scotch Presbyterian and one of the pillars of the new church. Mr. Nimmo's first child, a son, was born at Portsmouth. Partly in consequence of ill health, but more on account of his aversion to bringing up a family under the demoralizing influences of slavery, he sought a charge in a northern State, and, during the year became pastor of a Presbyterian church in the town of Huntington, Long Island, New York. Here there were born to him two sons and a daughter.
