Nathaniel and Hulda lived for a time on Little Cranberry Isle in a house which was built for her by Captain Samuel Hadlock. This house which stood on the site of Mrs. Lucinda Spurling Fernald's present dwelling was burned many years ago. Soon after his marriage to Hulda Hadlock, Nathaniel removed to what is now Greening's Island where he built a dwelling, store, fish house and wharf. His business ventures were not successful and he removed with his family to Gott's Island where he soon fell a victim to that dread disease, consumption as the old records have it. Taken to Boston for treatment, Nathaniel died just as the vessel upon which he was a passenger, cast anchor in Boston Harbor.^[3]
