Married to Lydia Ellison, who died 1827. Married Rebecca Shirley 1828. She died Macomb, IL 1877. Both are buried in Camp Creek Cemetery, near Industry, IL.

Death from Paralysis.

Ingram Nunn died in this city, Monday last, from a paralytic stroke received Saturday. Saturday he was well as usual and after coming up town and getting shaved, went home, helping about the house and working in the garden until noon. After dinner he took a seat in the doorway, and in passing him, his wife thinking she discovered signs of weariness, told him he had better go and lie down; he remarked that he didn’t feel tired and she went on. She had only taken a few steps when she heard him making singular sounds, and on turning discovered him trembling in a violent manner. Asking him the matter, she received no reply, he being already forever beyond the power of articulation. With aid, she succeeded in getting him to bed, and summoning a physician, his affliction was pronounced paralysis. Wholly unconscious, he lingered through Sunday, failing gradually into death about 9 a.m., Monday.

The deceased was quite an old gentleman, probably past 70; he was a prominent citizen of the city and county, and was highly regarded by all who knew him.—The Macomb Journal, Thursday, June 26, 1873, Pg. 3
