Note: No burial record or gravestone has been found for Nathaniel, but he is most likely buried here with his second wife, where two of their sons have crude markers with their initials. The birth year is an approximation based on the sequencing of his siblings, and the death year is when his will was proved.
Nathaniel was the son of Joseph Niles and Mary (Farr) Mycall of Braintree, and m. (1) c. 1700 Jane LITTLEFIELD, b. 1681, d. c. 1702, the daughter of Caleb Littlefield and Mary Allen; m. (2), c. 1705 Tabitha Gardner, b. 2 Feb 1687, d. 1771, the daughter of George Gardner and Tabitha Tefft.
Nathaniel was living in Kingstowne, RI on 29 Oct 1712 when he purchased 100 acres of land in Greenwich, RI, probably land that became a part of West Greenwich after its creation in 1741. He was called the son of Joseph in the deed. Nathaniel may have come to Kingstowne directly from Braintree, or else via Block Island like other members of the Niles family.
His will, dated 9 Feb 1743/4, was proved 1 July 1758, naming wife Tabitha and several children. The will of his widow, Tabitha, was dated 27 Dec 1759 and proved 13 April 1771, mentioning several children, but not Nathaniel, who was of a different mother. Children:
with first wife, Jane Littlefield:
