Nathan Lord is thought to have come from the county of Kent, Eng., with Abraham Conley, whose daughter (Judith?) was his first wife.1620

Nathan Lord is found in the records in Kittery, ME as early as 1652 when he with others signed an agreement as follows: “We, whose names are underwritten, do acknowledge oursleves subject to the government of Massachuestts Bay in New England.”1623 Actually, “commissioners appointed to treat with the people of Maine to get them to acknowledge the jurisdiction of Massachusetts failed in the their first attempt; the second commission, formed of men who well understood the feelings of the Maine people in the matter, summoned the inhaitants of Kittery to a meeting. After some debate the men signed a paper submitting; another paper, a copy of the first, had seven names added of men who did not sign the submission, and Nathan Lord was one of these; it is likely that these seven signed later after the grant of the commissioners to the town had been made.”1624

In 1676 he took joint possession with his son, Nathan, of 77 acres on which a garrison was maintained during Indian troubles.1623
