"NATHANIEL DONHAM
was born in New Jersey; removed to Greene county before the Revolution, in which he served a year, and in 1794 emigrated to Ohio, coming down the river and landed at the mouth of the Little Miami, twelve miles above Cincinnati, and in a few years permanently settled in Pierce township on the waters of Ten Mile creek. He was the progenitor of the numerous Donham family in Clermont. He was first married in New Jersey to Mary Sutton, and afterwards to Keziah Crossley, of the same State. By his first marriage he had one daughter, who never came West, and three sons, David, John and Lewis. By his second marriage there was one daughter, Mary, and six sons, Henry, Abel, William, Amos, Robert, and Jonathan S., the latter the father of ex-treasurer Donham and Hon. Perry J. Donham."

========================
History it is at least as likely that Nathaniel was buried in what is now called the Ten Mile Cemetery. Nathaniel lived very near there, and it is where there was the Ten Mile Baptist Church, founded by the Donhams, and there is a hill with old graves at the bottom and apparently many missing stones. This is the reference: "He lived a quiet, unpretentious life, and his remains lie in the country church-yard at the foot of the hill, marked only by a single rude stone monument." (History of Clermont Co, Ohio, 1880, p. 430). The Ten-Mile Cemetery is at 1017 Bristol Rd, New Richmond, Ohio 45157. from Diane Tichenor

Nathaniel Dunham died sometime after September 1812.
He was the husband of m1: Mary Sutton and m2: Kesiah Crosley
