Nathaniel was fitted for college by Rev. Asahel Huntington and entered Dartmouth College in 1791, but after remaining there a year, he entered Harvard from which college he was graduated in 1795, afterwards studied medicine with Dr. James Thatcher of Plymouth and Dr. Holyoke of Salem. In 1798 he was appointed surgeon of sloop-of-war Merrimac, and made several voyages to the West Indies in that ship. In February 1800, he resigned his commission and commenced the practice of medicine in Newburyport where he continued until his death. He was prominent in his profession, and was highly esteemed as a physician and surgeon. At the time of his death he was a councilor of the Massachusetts Medical Society.
Dr. Bradstreet, along with Micajah Sawyer M.D., Dudley A. Tyng Esq., Ebenezer Stocker Esq., William Woart, Rev. Thomas Cary, Rev. Samuel Spring, Rev. John Andrews, Rev. Daniel Dana, Rev. Isaac Smith, William Coombs Esq., Nicholas Esq., Dr. Nathaniel Saltonstall, Dr. Samuel Nye, and Rev. Joseph Dana D. D. were named in the act of incorporation (March 7, 1804) of the Merrimac Humane Society.
The Society was instituted for the purpose of extending inquiries, collecting facts, and aiding in the rescue or resuscitation of person subject to accidents, particularly drowning. They were stimulated to this from the frequent occurrence of accidents on the Merrimac, and deaths by shipwreck, and otherwise, at Plum Island.
This Society erected three huts on Plum Island, and published printed directions to mariners how to find them if cast ashore on the island. They also provided signal colors and lights, which were placed in the care of the keeper of the light-houses, with suitable directions for use in case of vessels approaching under dangerous circumstances.
The above information was given to me by Eileen Dodge and was extracted from from History of Newburyport, Mass: 1764-1905 Volume 2 by John James Currier and History of Newburyport by Euphemia Vale Blake and Plymouth Church Records 1620-1859, First Church of Christ, Plymouth Mass.
