Over all, Nathaniel had 9 children (6 sons and 3 daughters).
In the spring of 1795, Nathaniel left Winchester and on June 18, 1775, he moved into his own house on the "Grammar School Lot," in Barre, Orange (later Washington) County, Vermont. His sons John (1767-1835) and Asa (1770-1855) had moved to Barre in April 1791 being among the early settlers of that town. Barre was first settled in 1788.
On April 22, 1818, when Nathaniel applied for a Revolutionary War pension, he was a resident of Underhill, Chittenden County, Vermont. His son, the Reverend Nathaniel Brown Dodge had removed to Underhill in 1816, where he preached as Congregational minister until 1821 when he was called to New York City. Nathaniel's 3rd wife Tabitha died in Underhill in 1818. Soon thereafter, he moved back to Barre.
