2328. Mr. Harwood, born in England, probably died in England. He married in England.

The English origins and descendants of Nathaniel Harwood of Concord MA are listed, very sketchily, in a book by:
Watson H. Harwood, MD, A Genealogical Hhistory of the Concord Harwoods, Descendants of Nathaniel Harwood, son of John Harwood of London, England, Volume III, (Chasm Falls NY : 1912).
A more recent treatment of the possible English ancestry and the family of the first Nathaniel Harwood is in:
2) Dean Crawford Smith, edited by Melinde Lutz Sanborn, The Ancestry of Eva Belle Kempton, 1878-1908: Part III: The Ancestry of Henry Clay Bartlett, 1832-1892 (Boston, Mass.: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2004), pages 290-297.
The latter work disagrees with the Harwood book as to Nathaniel Harwood's parents and earlier generations. From reviewing the information available, I think the Dean Smith book is probably correct.
