• Notes

  Nathaniel and Elizabeth removed from Weymouth to Abington where sometime after the children were born. Nathaniel served as a Selectman in 1752 in Abington. He was a carver of stone in and around the South Shore towns of Massachusetts passing the trade down to his son Noah and Noah to his sons. He was a member of the Committee of Correspondance of Abington in 1774 denouncing and rejecting the duty placed on the imported tea of the East India Tea Company to be paid by Americans to the British Crown. It was about this time that Abington started to formaly organize militarily supplying all men 16 years of age or older with firearms and ammunition and recruiting soldiers in a build-up to the Revolutionary War.
