Nathaniel Bivens's birthplace, date and parents names are not known. There is a marriage recorded in Maryland for William Bivens and Ann Brashear on February 10, 1725/26; it's possible but not proven that they were Nathaniel's parents. Various anecdotal records show a range of birth dates from 1726 to 1740, but no documentation is known to exist.

Records show he was married to Margaret "Peggy" Tyler, though the date and place are not known. Her birthplace is given variously as England and the Netherlands, but no records are known. There's a tradition that she may have stowed away on a ship to America.

Nathaniel's will was signed and witnessed on May 9, 1816. It was proved in court and recorded in April, 1818, presumably following his death. In his will he names ten children: Abel, William, Sarah, John, Unity, Moses, Elijah, Lyda, Stephen, and Nathaniel (Junior).

Nathaniel Sr. and Peggy Tyler Bivens are buried in a cemetery on the Bivens farm across Richardson's Creek from the home of Nathaniel Bivens Jr.
