    • AFN: 1TGG-TF

    Notes:

    Of Nathaniel also very little is known; and he also preferred fighting to
    weaving, for we find him in garrison at Springfield in 1676, during King
    Philip's War. He was in Dorchester in 1700; but had a lease of land in Canton
    from the Indians, and had 50 acres laid out to him by the proprietors on the
    road leading to Dry Pond. His wife died March 27, 1705 in Dorchester; and the
    Dorchester record, "Nathaniel, d. March 15, 1705," evidently refers to him.

    No children of Nathaniel are recorded in Dorchester or in Canton records, but
    the persistency of family names was very strong in Peter's line. It may, then,
    be presumed that had Nathaniel had children, he would have handed down the
    name. There appears in Needham a Nathaniel, who from the date of birth of his
    eldest son would appear to have been born about 1710, and who died there in
    1760. As this name does not occur in the Roxbury line, this Needham family
    will.be assigned to a place among Peter's descendants, unless the assumption be
    subsequently disproved. The name Thomas, occurring in the will of Nathaniel
    without apparent cause, suggests that he may have had a brother Thomas.

    Lyon Memorial lists birth as 28 December 1680.
