  • Notes 
    • Nathaniel sailed on March 9, 1632 from England to New England on the "William and Francis" with his grandfather, Stephen Bachilor. They l anded in Boston, June 3, 1632. He was a constable and a selectman of Ha mpton, NH for 9 years.

      "The following anecdote is told of Nathaniel: When, after the death of h is first wife, he had determined to marry again, he resolved to be gove rned by his choice by the direction in which his staff, held perpendicu larly over the floor, should fall, when dropped from his hand. The expe riment being tried, the staff fell towards the southwest, and in that d irection he bent his steps. Having traveled as far as Woburn, he called u pon the widow Wyman, and offered her his hand, stating that he was goin g to Boston, and would call for her answer, on his return.ยดยด
