I'd fallen behind on my 52 Ancestors during and after my recent trip which is the reason behind
the recent flurry of posts. With this one, which concudes the series on my Dana family ancestors,
I'm almost caught up.
Sadly, I haven't found much online as yet for my 6x great grandfather Nathaniel Dana. William Richard
Cutter has very little to say about him:
(IV) Nathaniel, son of Samuel Dana, was born in Cambridge, February
1, 1717, and is said to have died of small-pox. He married Abigail
Dean, born June, 1722. Children: Nathaniel, born July 24, 1739, died
December 9, 1739; Nathaniel, November 14, 1740; Mary, October 22, 1742,
died June 6, 1749; Ephraim, September 26, 1744; Abigail, June 6, 1746;
David, September 12, 1748, died December 30, 1754; Calvin, October 27,
1751, died 1776; Joanna, December 13, 1753; Rebecca, November 5, 1755;
Samuel, July 5, 1757, died October 17, 1758; Sarah, August 25, 1759;
Experience, May 24, 1761;-p1143

I hate the phrase "... is said to have (fill in the blank with "died" "married", etc)...". Nathaniel's death
isn't recorded in Cambridge so I haven't a date for it,
Nathaniel Dana had eleven children, four of whom died young. I'm descended from daughter Abigail
who married Samuel Stowe.
