About Nathaniel Mayo

Nathaniel was born c 1627 in Leiden, Netherlands where his English parents had gone following the break of William Brewster's followers from the Church of England.[1] Baptismal records for Leiden, Netherlands English church where they would have been baptized by the Rev John Goodyear have not survived. The Mayo's did not arrive in the Colony until 1638 at latest (Savage, NEHGR) or 1635 (Hotten) at the earliest.

Nathaniel Mayo, son of Mr. John Mayo, married Gov. Prence's daughter Hannah, Feb. 13, 1649-50, and removed to Eastham, where he was somewhat of a prominent man. He died at that place, the beginning of the year 1662. He made his will Jan. 10, 1661-2, and it was presented in March following. He left Thomas, Nathaniel, Samuel, Theophilus, Hannah and Bathsheba. He desired that all of his children should be "brought up to read and write." His son Theophilus went to reside with Gov. Prence, but died when a young man. Hannah Mayo married for her second husband Captain Jonathan Sparrow of Eastham.
