From Ken Gunn (http://www.kengunn.com/genealogy/ltnat.htm) :

Nathaniel Gunn LT is the son of Nathaniel, one of the 40 original settlers of Montague, MA. From the information that we can gather, it appears that Nathaniel continued to operate the Tavern in Montague that was first built by his father. Records indicate that on May 10, 1776 Nathaniel entered the military and served until Dec 31, 1778 where he obtained the rank and title of 1st Lieutenant.

Other records indicate that Nathaniel served as a Selectmen of Montague for 1778-1779 and again in 1781.



Nathaniel's wife, Dorothy Marsh, was the sister of Thankful March, wife of his brother, Asahel Gunn. (Brothers married sisters.)

The Poet Emily Dickinson was a descendant of Nathaniel Gunn and Dorothy (Marsh) Gunn.
