As an adult Nathaniel was a prominent Quaker, and d. testate at Woodbridge, NJ 21d 9m (Nov.) 1713. He made his will the 5d 3m (May) 1713, proved the 5d 3m (May) 1714. He is undoubtedly interred without gravestone at the Friends Meeting House burying ground at Shrewsbury, NJ.

A summary of the seven children will be added later. In the meantime, through their son Samuel they are the maternal ancestors of Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States.
