Biography

Nathaniel Sparhawk was born on March 4, 1715 and was baptized on March 27, 1715 in Bristol, Bristol County, Massachusetts Bay (now Rhode Island). He was the son of the Rev. John Sparhawk and his wife, Priscilla Waldron.[1][2]

Nathaniel Sparhawk married Elizabeth Pepperrell 1 May 1742 in Maine, United States.[3]

Nathaniel Sparhawk, settled at Kittery, but was connected with Benjamin Colman in business in Boston, and later with his father-in-law’s affairs. The handsome Sparhawk house at Kittery was built about the time of his marriage on June 10, 1742, by Sir William Pepperrell and his wife, Mary (Hirst) Pepperrell, for their daughter, Elizabeth Pepperell, and he escaped confiscation at the time the Pepperrell property was seized. Nathaniel was a member of the Governor’s Council, and a judge. His second son, William Pepperrell Sparhawk, was made his grandfather’s heir, was permitted to take his name, and in 1774 was created a baronet. He was a loyalist, and died in England in 1816.[2]

Nathaniel Sparhawk died about 1789.[2]
