When Nathaniel Lord was born on 1 June 1776, in Sanford, York, Maine, United States, his father, Tobias Lord, was 27 and his mother, Mehitabel Scammon, was 22. He married Phebe Walker on 20 May 1797, in Wells, York, Maine, United States. They were the parents of at least 2 sons and 6 daughters.

He was named after his uncle Nathaniel Lord who was killed Dec 31, 1775 while serving at Quebec under Generals Benedict Arnold and James Montgomery. Kennebunkport was then a busy seaport and shipbuilding center. As many as 25 ships a year were built there.

During the war of 1812, while ports were blockaded by the British Navy, Nathaniel Lord, who was a shipowner and builder, gave his ship's carpenters work to provide a house for his family, a three story white pile colonial house at Kennebunkport, which has since been known as the Lord Mansion....
