Elder Nathaniel Sturgis, while sick abed in 1801, thinking he would die, became a Christian and later entered the ministry and was ordained 1821, in the Freewill Baptist church. Soon after this, he took a journey of some 400 miles into the British Provinces to preach free salvation.

He was a man of clear mind and strong judgment. While at work on his farm moving large stone, he received a severe injury in the back and endured distressing pain for 9 days when he was relieved by death, October 29, aged 51 years.

He was married to Betsy Woodman 5 Jan. 1806. They had several children, some who died at a young age.

Gravesite Details

The family and area history books don't state the name of Nathaniel's children, but does state he had 10; 11 children have been found; I think we can say they have all been found.
