3.3 '''NATHANIEL-3 DUNHAM''', (Thomas-2, b. about 1665

He was living 22 Feb. 1723/4 in Connecticut, as his brother Isaac’s bequest of £90 was to be paid in money of that colony.

Nathaniel Dunham, son of Thomas Dunham was born ca. 1665 probably in Sheepscott, Maine.
He died at Hebron, Tolland County, CT 12 May 1751 age 85. He married Mary (unknown) who
was born about 1669 and died at Hebron, CT 5 Feb. 1756/7. They are both buried in Gilead
Cemetery, Hebron, CT.

His father, Mr. Thomas Dunham, was witness to a deed which was recorded 24 May 1666 for
the sale of land in Sheepscott, Maine. Thus it is likely that Nathaniel was born there and that he
was living with his family in Sheepscott prior to King Philip’s War in 1675. Nathaniel would have
been about 11 years old during that horrible time. In 1677 Thomas Dunham was in Rye where
he became the first settled minister of that community. Nathaniel would still have been living
with the family and would have been about 12 years old. We can surmise that Nathaniel lived
in Rye until at least 1684 when his father moved to Bedford. Thus Nathaniel would have been
age 19 years in 1684. We do not know if Nathaniel moved to Bedford with his parents but it is
likely that he remained in Rye. In 1689 he inherited a “Plain lot” and also a 12 acre lot and a
meadow lot in Rye.
As a young man, aged about 24 years, who owned property Nathaniel would have been ready
to find a wife. We know that he married a woman named Mary, but we do not know her
surname. It would be logical to look for her among the early families of Rye, but she could have
come from one of the neighboring communities of Fairfield, Stamford or Bedford. It is also
intriguing to learn why Nathaniel and Mary settled in the newly formed town of Wrentham,
Massachusetts. Wrentham was formed from Dedham, Massachusetts and suffered greatly
12
during King Philip’s War. By the early 1680s families were beginning to move back into
Wrentham. Nathaniel and Mary Dunham must have moved there by early 1690.
