Biography

"Nathaniel Nickerson, son of William and Mercy (Williams) Nickerson, born about 1680, married Katherine Stewart, daughter of Hugh, May 13, 1702[1]. He settled at Chathamport on the west side of Frostfish creek. His homestead is described in 1728 as bounded 'by Capt. Thomas Howes' land on ye South side and by Elisha Mayou's land on ye west and north side and by a salt creek on ye East side'. He was town treasurer in 1723 and 1724. Administration on his estate was granted to his widow Katherine, May 20, 1725. He left, beside the homestead held by deed from his father, a parcel of upland, meadow and woodland held by deed from Ebenezer Stewart, upland at "the Stage" by deed from William Mitchell, and land at Cotchpinicut by deed from his father. Elisha Mayo was appointed guardian of his daughter Mercy Sept. 8, 1726. His widow leased the homestead in 1728 to Samuel Godfrey'" and probably removed with most of the family to Falmouth, where her daughter Experience had married. She appointed Caleb Lumbert an attorney for her, who had trouble with Godfrey, and in 1733 leased the property to Elisha Hopkins. The widow Katherine died about 1740. There is no list of the children."
