I'm so hesitant to guess dates when I have no source. Although if I had to, I would guess a couple years older than Pamelia - so maybe 1799?
In your search for Nathan's family, here are a couple of items that might be clues.
Son George Washington Thayer was mayor of Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA. So the Grand Rapids library system may have some detail on George's ancestry. I've found a few great things in their archives and they are very nice.
Second, in the 1870 census, George has a 27 year old Jennie Brisbon born in Vermont with a 2 year old son Nathan born in Minnesota in the household. I haven't figured out who they are. Maybe this is a widowed stepsister with a son named after the father?
