Biography

Waterburgh, Mecklenburg Cemetery, New York

Nathaniel Owen is the son of Jonathan Owen and Temperance Helme.

In the summer of 1798, Nathaniel, recently married to Miss Mehitable Tucker came to Hector Township to settle on the north half of lot 65 which was given to him by his father (Lt. Jonathan Owen). He cleared a small plat of ground, planted it with corn, erected a rude shanty covered with bark, which he finished during the season. After harvest he returned to his home in Middletown, and made preparations for moving to his abod in the wilderness. In the spring of 1799, loading one horse with his wife and child, clothing, etc., started for his forest home. He brought seeds of apples in his vest pocket from Orange county to plant apple trees. The Indians were very friendly, and many a wrestling match did he have with them. They gave him the name of "Stout Yankee" and Mehitable they called "White Lily". [1]
