A member of the Stockbridge Militia.

Abraham Nimham (1745 – August 31, 1778) was an American man who was the son of warrior and emissary Daniel Nimham and a leader of the Wappinger tribe. During the Revolutionary War, he served with his father in the Stockbridge Militia, often accompanying him on diplomatic and recruiting missions.

Nimham was commissioned a captain, and was given command of a detachment of sixty Stockbridge and River Indian soldiers. On April 28, 1778, Nimham and his father joined the Continental Army at White Plains, NY. [1]

On August 31, 1778, both Abraham and Daniel Nimham were ambushed and killed by a ranger patrol under the command of John Graves Simcoe during the Battle of Kingsbridge at Cortlandt Ridge.
