He mayhave been from Yorkshire, as in 1647 he appointed John Wilson,cloth-worker, of Halifax in Yorkshore to collect a legacy left to him byNathaniel Holgate of Halifax, deceased. "19 (6) 1648 Nathaniel Wilson ofRoxbury granted unto Joseph Wood of Ovenden in Yorkshire his right &title unto a certain Messuage in Ovenden wth all the lands unto the samebelonging. & This was by an absolute deed of sale Dat. 19 (6) 1648."[from Aspinwall's A Volume Relating to the Early History of Boston, pg.153].

      Nathaniel sold his house in Roxbury Feb. 16, 1652 and removed toCambridge Village, now Newton. There he purchased 150 acres of land andbuilt his house close to the West Roxbury line, possibly in Muddy River.

      He died Sep 17, 1692, aged 70 years. Sons Nathaniel & Samuel administeredhis estate, whose total valuation was 219 pounds, 14 shillings.
