INDEX
wager3044
When the Dutch captured New York and sent officers to
administer the oath of allegiance, Nathaniel elected to stand by his Quaker
faith, refusing to give the oath but he promised fealty to the Dutch. He was
one of the freeholders mentioned in the confirmatory patent known as the Dongan
Charter granted 25 NOV 1686 to the inhabitants and freeholders of Newtown, Long
Island.
Some time between 1690 and 1696 Nathaniel purchased 800 acres of land in New
Jersey, where he and his family went to live. This land was near the Falls of
Delaware (now Trenton). An old map shows the location of Nathaniel's house and
"Pettit's Run" a stream emptying into Assunpink Creek. The State
House is now located on this land.
