Colonial War

Wheeler states: "He served in the Colonial Indian War"^[35]

He was one of the first nine members of the First Church

His first six children were baptized on 15 Nov 1674

1. Nathaniel was one of the first nine members of the First Church at Stonington, New London County, Connecticut; a signer of the Pawcatuck Articles, 1658; and a Selectman of Stonington, 1675.

2. Nathaniel apparently became ill and died unexpectedly as there is no record of a will. His estate depended on his parents and his brother Elisa's son Elihu's wills and or estate probates. His estate was distributed by a court decision resolving discrepancies in his parents' (William and Anna Stevenson Chesebrough) will and a subsequent probate (from the Wildey book with minor punctuation changes for clarity):

-----A Court of Assistants held at Hartford October 7, 1673.

Where as ye County Court held at New London Septr 19, 1673 recommended to this Court a difference between Mr.

Nathaniel Chesebrough and ye relict and heirs of Mr. Samuell Chesebrough and ye Overseers of Elihu ye only son

of Elisha Chesebrough and his successors, which difference arose by reason of some contradiction (seemingly at

least) between ye last will and testament of Mr. William Chesebrough and Mrs. Anna his wife wch ye Court having

considered after the reviewing of ye sd wills advised ye parties concerned to labour an accomodation between

themselves wch they have . . . & presented to this Court an agreement under ye hands bearing date October 9th

1673. This court having Perused ye same do approve there of & order it to be recorded amongst ye records as a

final issue of ye sd Difference.

(Then follows a long division of land.)
