Milford records state that he died in 1683, but according to Savage he was not there for the second division of land in 1677 and there were no baptisms of children after 1651. Mehitable married NICHOLAS CAMP, JR. after the death of Nathaniel. [No: that was a different Mehitable]



The name of his wife was Mehitable. Her last name is unknown. He had only three children: Nathaniel, James, and Abigail.

Need to verify birth year: records for both 1621 and 1629 found; likely to be 1621 or Nathaniel would have been 15 when he married. : ) I found a reference (source can be provided upon request) that notes Nathaniel was an usher at Harvard College in 1639. Came to Milford from/via Wethersfield.
