DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Nathaniel by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Nathaniel:

Does anyone know if this is the Nathaniel Healey in New Hampshire that purchased a slave, Jude Hall, from Philemon Blake prior to the revolution?
Hi Aimee,

Thanks for your interest.

Assuming there are no objections from you or others, I am going to work just a bit to update some of the existing sources listed on this profile and will report back if I spot anything that would help us.

Might you separately have kept track of the source that led you to raise the question. If so, hope you will reply with that information.

Thanks for supporting WikiTree.--Gene

Hello Gene!

I actually have quite a few sources about this specific event, but perhaps the best thing may be for me to give the ID for Jude Hall (Hall-55456). He’s my husband’s direct ancestor, and I’ve been working in him for a little over 3 years now.

I am still adding sources to that profile mentioned above, and while going through the sources I do have between various Genealogy accounts I had noticed the grandson of Jude Hall, Moses Uriah Hall, had married an Eliza Healey. So only last night I decided to try and find out who exactly was the correct Nathaniel Healey and if he was somehow a relation of this woman. Though I know she was born in England along with her parents according to the 1900 Federal Census.

The statement that Jude Hall disliked the new master and ran away is a family tradition/legend of the descendant of Philemon Blake, Sarah E Cram. While it is cited and repeated on various stories of Jude Hall, there are historians that believe he could have gone with his new master as his father-in-law Cesar Nero Paul had during the French and Indian War... or perhaps he was sent in place of his new master to fight for the cause, that it was perhaps a price they were willing to pay for the freedom of America. It is hard to believe he would have been successful at running away to just sign up within the same town he was kept as a slave without his owner knowing or finding out about it quickly. But this is still being researched by that historian, David Dixon, and myself.

I hope this helps you, please message me with any questions. I would like to find out more about Nathaniel Healey, I just am beginning to look into that aspect. I don't know how many Nathaniel Healeys there were in the Hampton or Exeter areas, I only know that it is prior to Jude enlisting with the Continental Army side.

Thank you again. For now, I have added a research note to the profile.--Gene

Awesome thank you! I may try the same think on his profile so I don't loose the ID of it. I will see if the Historical Authors in Exeter I have been in contact with may have any idea, and if I find anything out overall I will keep you posted.
If you have a chance, take a look at Nathaniel Healey's will (1774) and probate papers (1777). My own review did not find references that might refer to Jude. You may be more keenly aware of what to look for. I'm don't recall if I have otherwise found a more complete archive of papers about Nathaniel in this time period.

I think I did see that.

If I can get ahold of the Exeter Historical Librarian again, I was going to ask her some other questions.

Because Jude enlisted in 1775, I believe he perhaps was free upon by the time of probate… and was her purchased after the 1774 will was written?

I also need to try and see if there’sa bill of sale or something.

Also, how many Nathaniel Healey’s were in that and surrounding areas? I know he was in New Hampshire.

I had only just started looking into it, so I had asked in the event perhaps you may have seen something also.

I should be able to find Philemon Blake’s documents to see if maybe the sale is tied somewhere in any of the citations for him.

I am looking for another article I had read, where it has a Nathaniel Healey supporting the colonial side of the revolution. So I need to see if this also is that same Nathaniel Healey.

It is just something I am interested in chasing down and looking at.

Rough notes.

1. Nathaniel Healey's birth as 8 Feb 1690-1 in _Old Families of Salisbury ..._ (link follows). He was born several years before the marriage of Samuel Healey to Judith Roby/Robie (1693); she would not have been his mother. http://archive.org/stream/cu31924025963772#page/n213/mode/2up

According to Eva Barbara Robie Schwarting, _A genealogical history of the Robie family in England ... ._, 22, Judith was born "about 1650" and died "1-17-1725," without issue. http://hdl.handle.net/2027/wu.89064849631?urlappend%3Bseq67

2. Although I have not confirmed her date of death, the profile of Lydia Gove (Gove-119) reports she died 18 September 1749 at Seabrook, Rockingham, New Hampshire. Without clarification, she would not have married anyone after that date.
