    His intention to marry Jane Woodward, the daughter of Richard and Jane Woodward was announced in the Concord MM in 1710/11, and took place at the Meeting at Middletown,  1st 2nd MO, 1711.  Little is recorded about the life of these 2, and they seemed to disappear into the shadow of Nathaniel Jr's father, who was so active in  local church life  and political circles.  Nathaniel Jr and Jane had the following children;
