William Lord was born at Kittery, York, Province of Maine, on 20 Mar 1682/83, the son of Nathan Lord and Martha (Tozier) Lord.[1] He was baptized at the First Church of Berwick, Maine, on 20 Mar 1719/20, along with his two oldest children.[2]
William Lord was deeded 10 acres in the town of Berwick, Maine, on 26 Jul 1718 by his grandmother, Martha (Everett) Lord "in consideration of that natural love and affections I bear unto my loving Grandson William Lord." He served Berwick as a constable in 1724.[3]
The last reference to William Lord in the records is in a deed, made on 2 Mar 1756, in which he refers to property "given to me and my wife Patience Lord dec'd by her hjonored father Thomas Abboit dec'd."[3]
William Lord married Patience Abbott at Kittery before 2 Apr 1706, when “William Lord and Patience Abbot now his wife” were brought into court and charged with fornication. In his will of 20 Mar 1707, Thomas Abbott Sr. of Berwick left his daughter Patience Lord property at Quamphegon.[3]
Eaton writes, "Stackpole also included as a son of William[3] (Nathan[1-2]) the Nathan Lord who married Hannah Shackley (Stackpole, Old Kittery, 589). But it is unlikely ... There is no evidence that William had a son named Nathan, and no need to invent one."[4]
