His wife Mary died at Dedham on January 27, 1669, shortly after their marriage. ^[3] Her father Samuel Judson had died at Dedham in 1657, leaving his estate to be divided into 4 parts, one each to his widow Mary, and to his three daughters, Mary, Sarah and Esther, when they reach age 18. ^{[4] [5]}

In 1670, Nathaniel filed a complaint against his mother-in-law, widow Mary Judson, for his deceased wife's portion of her father Samuel's estate. The court ordered the widow to pay Nathaniel L40 to make up for his late wife's share, in addition to what she had already received. ^[6]
