It's nice to know where he is buried, as I didn't know.
I happen to know Dr Nathaniel was a descendant of Capt Edward Sargent of Saco, who was son of Lt John Sargent of Saco & Biddeford, Maine(killed by Indians in 1703 at Blackpoint, Maine) who was son of Mr Stephen Sargent Master Fisherman who came to Newbury ,MA in 1633 on the Fortune, and set up a fishing stage and platform on Richmond island, Maine, and Isle of Shoals. Stephen drowned in the year 1649 where his estate was Inventoried by many rich and powerful men of the time(Genealogical Dictionary of Maine & NH by Libby, Davis and Noyes)He worked for Sir Robert Trelawney(See James Baxter's Trelawney Papers) and Mr John Winters.I am probably in some way related to LT John Sargent.
