Notes
Nathaniel's Baptism Record
Nathaniel's Army record in Lionel S. Challis's 'Peninsula Roll Call'
It is interesting that Nathaniel is a lieutenant in the Royal Artillery - with which his father, Samuel, has strong links and almost certainly influence. Officer status at that time was a matter of purchase and patronage.
Nathaniel's death reported in the May, 1814, Monthly obituary.
