It is disconcerting that his name appears as Nathaniel, when browsing through Wikitree, because it looks like Nathan is missing. Would the profile managers please consider changing the first name? See, e.g. Jabez Smith/House or the [007628894_01247 probate record of his father] or his birth record. His name was Nathan, not Nathaniel. Thanks! :)

According to all of the sources I have found his name was Nathan NOT Nathaniel. See the following reference: Henry Allen Smith, (1889); A Genological History of the Descendents of the Rev Nehemiah Smith of New London County, Conn.; Joel Munsell's Sons, Albany, NY.; PG 72; Retrieved from https://archive.org/stream/genealogicalhist01smit#page/n7/mode/2up
