    • Arrival: 1652, ME

    Notes:

    He is found of record in Kittery. Maine, as early as 1652, when he with o thers signed an agreement as follows: "We, whose names are underwritten , do acknowledge ourselves subject to the government of MA B ay in New England." There can be no doubt that he was English, as that l ocality was settled at that time exclusively by English people. Nathan L ord was a planter and appears to have dealt in real estate. Previous to 1 662 he was located in a district called Sturgeon's Creek, where he rece ived a grant of land. This location is now in the town of Elliott, onc e a part of ancient Kittery. After 1662 Nathan Lord seems to have owned a h omestead at or near what is now called Mt. Pleasant.' in South Berwick.

    In 1676, with his son and namesake, he took possession of an estate of s eventy-seven acres, on which was a house and barn, and this was held ab out five years in joint ownership, when the father transferred his righ t and Title to his son. This was located in the district known as Oldfi elds in South Berwick. Upon this place a garrison was maintained during t he Indian troubles, and was occupied as a residence as late as 1816. Th is was a unique and extensive edifice and had a door through which coul d be driven a yoke of oxen and cart. The door was surmounted by a carve d figure head, representing the prow of a ship, while many wood carving s on its interior added to its adornment.
