4) NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):
The birth record for Nathaniel Horton, son of Samuel and Hannah (Atwood) Horton is in the Eastham town records. He was the 3rd of 8 children recorded. The record says[1-2]:
"nathaniel horton Son of Samuel and hannah horton was born february 24 : 1720/21"
The marriage intentions record of Nathaniel Horton and Eunice Snow is recorded in the Eastham town records as[3-4]:
"April the 10 : 1742 then entered Intentions of Nathaniel Horton & Eunic Snow both of Eastham to proseed in Marriage."
Nathaniel and Eunice (Snow) Horton had ten children, and all were recorded in the Eastham town records. The record says[6]:
"Elnathan Horting Son of Nathanael ^and Unis^ Horting was born at Eastham on the 11'th day of june 1743 Nathanael Horting Son of Nathanael ^and Unis^ Horting was born at Eastham on the 2'd day of fabruary 1745 William Horting son of Nathael and Eunice Horting was Born in Eastham the 11'th ^of April^ 1750 Elisabeth Horting Daughter of Nathanel and Eunice horting was Borne in Eastham march the 1'th 1753 James Horting Son of Nathanel and Eunice Horting as Born in Eastham November the 8'th 1755 Eunice Horting Daughter of Nathanel and Eunice Horting was Born in Eastham febuary the 24'th 1757 Jabez Horting Son of Nathanel and Eunice Horting was Borne in Eastham June the 7th 1759 and Died the 19 day of July 1759 Nathaniel Horten son of Nathaniel & Eunice horten was born in Eastham february the 2 day 1746 Obediah horten Son of Nathaniel & Eunice horten was born in Eastham Oct ^30 day 1747^ Hanah horten daughter of nathel & Eunice horten was born in Eastham April the 26 day 1761 Anne Horten Daughter of Nathanel and Eunice horten was Born in Eastham 28 day December 1763"
There is no death record for Nathaniel Horton. He certainly died before 24 December 1771, when his widow Eunice married Robert Snow in Eastham. Nathaniel's last child was born in December 1763.
He was buried in Cove Burying Ground in Eastham. The Find A Grave memorial says he died in 1771[5].
There are no probate records for Nathaniel Horton.
