RESEARCHERS PLEASE NOTE: Contributor Sherry # 49218591 has suggested (regarding Nathaniel's status as being an attorney): "The bio lists Nathaniel as an attorney. This was an easy mistake, but I believe the attorney was Nathaniel's son, also named Nathaniel (born 1788). In an article written in the Biog. of Bar of Orleans Co., p.71-72, the transition from Nathaniel Sr. to his son is rather poorly written, but they clearly meant that the son was the attorney. (https://archive.org/details/biographyofbarof01bald/page/71/mode/1up).

Other articles re Nathaniel Sr. indicate that he was a humble farmer his entire life."

Currently, Nathaniel (Sr)'s son, Nathaniel (II)'s bio did not make any reference to the son being a lawyer when it was transferred, but future researchers should be aware of this possible discrepancy.
