Description	:	Nathaniel was born to Governor Gurdon's second wife,Elizabeth.His early years appear to be unremarkable,according to historical records.Hempstead's Diary confirms his marriage to Lucretia Arnold in 1733.

To challenge the "southern colony" residency, Hempstead's Diary shows a Nathaniel residing in New London from 1734-1748,but does not clarify which Nathaniel Saltonstall. F.M. Caulkins' "History of New London" records Nathaniel Saltonstall with John Curtis,Jeremiah Miller,John Richards and Thomas Prentiss,in January 1740,preparing a petition for the governor. It addressed New London's unpreparedness should any military action be taken against them.Furthermore, after Nathaniel's death,Lucretia (his wife) married John Proctor. She is buried in New London. (and not in the southern colonies) Who was the "younger" Nathaniel Saltonstall, born in New London in 1727, before the 1733 marriage of Lucretia and Nathaniel?? The New London Court of Probate, dated May 2,1744, appointed Daniel Starr as guardian of a Nathaniel Saltonstall, an illegitimate under the care of the town. Since there were no other Nathaniels born to Gurdon, the perpetuation of the name suggests the possibility that Nathaniel (b. 1727) was the son of Nathaniel(b. 1707) and grandson to Gurdon. What of the younger Nathaniel's mother?? Unsubstantiated family records indicate the last name of Mayhew, with no first name. Further research reveals a John Mayhew,mariner,living in New London during that time. He had several daughters. Therein lies the mystery!! Colonial America was still a society that judged people's worth by who their father's were and whom they married. The Saltonstall family had pedigree and position.
