Notes |
- He settled in Hartford as early as 1657, in which year he became an owner of land there. It is probable that he went to Hartford before coming of age, for he is said to have been adopted by Gregory Wilterton of that town. (See 1.) He was admitted a freeman 20 May, 1658. He was a tanner, and lived on the south side of Elm St., on the second lot west from the corner of Main St. After some years he removed to the West Division of the town, now West Hartford, where he made large purchases of land in 1683 and the following years. In 1684, 1694 and 1700 he was a "townsman," or selectman, and he was a deacon of the Second Church. He married, 23 Sept. 1663, Sarah Watson, daughter of John and Margaret (Smith) Watson of Hartford. His eight sons and two daughters, and the daughters 'husbands. were all living at his death.

- It is supposed that Nathaniel was married before leaving England. However Savage, in the "Genealogical Dictionary of New England" (published in 1861) states that Nathaniel Merrill married Susanna Jordan (this may have just been copied from Coffin's "History of Newbury" (1845). After his death, his widow married Stephen Jordan (or Jourdain).
