Notes for Nathaniel (Spouse 1)
He arrived on the Hercules with seven children and seven servants on 4 March 1634/35.924
He was a man of importance. In England he was mayor in 1622 and jurat in 1624,1625, 1627 and 1629 (a jurat was also Justice of the Peace). And in New England he was also a town officer and a ruling elder.1425
He was educated. His inventory included “one Book of Martyrs, one Great Bible, Calvin’s Institutions, Wilson on Romans” among others.1429 He was a Ruling Elder in the First Church of Scituate 1634.1430
Some authors have thought his wife was Lydia Bourne however this is disproved in:
(Origins of New England Families, Vol. 1, (from the New England Historical and Genealogical Register), by Roberts 1984, Gen. Pub. Co., p152.)
Deane's "History of Scituate" says; "The inventory of his estate in the Colony records show he belonged to the wealthiest class of settlers." The Thomas Tilden, who came to Scituate in the "Ann" in 1623, was probably the
oldest brother of Nathaniel Tilden but whether he returned to England, or what became of him is unknown. Nathaniel's brother, Joseph, two years younger than himself, was one of the merchant adventurers of London, who associated themselves, and fitted out the "Mayflower" and furnished capital to maintain the infant settlement.
