Notes for Nathan Blodgett:
Pg 192 Nathan (7) b. 1761
Nathan and his brother Daniel went to Lebanon (N.H.) about 1783 or ’84 and were among the first settlers of that town. Nathan took up land, built a log house and cleared a farm located about three miles from the present village of Lebannon. There was no road, only a bridle path to the village and the trees were blazed along the way to guide the traveler. This farm remained in the hands of his descendants until 1869. He was assessed in Lebanon from 1787 to 1798 (there were no assessment lists earlier than 1787). He died there Aug. 26, 1798, aged 37 years, laving a widow and seven children the eldest only 13 years old. His widow died Apr. 26, 1838, also in Lebanon.
