Born on 26 Jun 1683 in Hingham, MA.33 (Born 29 Jun 1683 according to Bristol records). Nathaniel died in Thompson, CT, on 22 Feb 1772; he was 88.
Nathaniel “was a child when his father removed to Bristol. He removed to Woodstock, CT, and after a short time to Thompson, buying of John Wiley for nine hundred pounds, old tenor, a tract of land of the Saltonstall tract, and Wilev returned to Woodstock. Jacobs and his five sons took possession and cleared the forest and settled. Afterwards the farm was and is still known as the Jacobs District of Thompson. His house was on the frontier at the time, on the route from Hartford to Boston, and was a welcome stopping place for travellers between those towns. It came to be known as the ‘Half-Way House.’ He was active in the town and church and served with Deacon Johnson on a committee to make provision for the entertainment and reception of the ordaining council in I737 when Mr. Abel Stiles was ordained and installed July 27, I737. So he must have been in Thompson a few years before he bought the Saltonstall farm.”39
