Biography
Nathaniel was born in about 1755. He was the son of Jehu Messiter and Mary Not located yet. BIRTH: c 1755
BIRTH: c 1755 BAPTISM: 1758 "Name: Nathaniel Read Messiter Event Type: Baptism Baptism Date: 12 Aug 1758 Baptism Place: Frome St John, Somerset, England Father: Jehu Messiter Mother: Mary Messiter Aged 3 years. " Ancestry.co.uk, original image consulted
It has been assumed that this child died before his brother of the same name was baptised in 1760. As no burial record has been found, the alternative explanation is that the same child was baptised twice. Nonconformism was very strong in Frome, and could be an explanation for double entries in the register.
He passed away about 1758.
