NOTE: The article mentions the deaths of several children, but there is no mention of his wife nor living children other than a son. However, Nathaniel did live in the area in c.1798 A.D. according to the article. Presently, Nathaniel Harris is a possibility for Tabitha Harris's father.

He built a substantial frame house that after his death was moved down to the Thomas Patch place.
