According to William Richard Cutter, in his New England Families Genealogical and Memborial: Vol. IV, Nathaniel is mentioned in the will of his grandfather, John Smith, who bequeathed to his mother Sarah Smith Whiting, lands in Hoxden, county Middlesex England. He had a brother Samuel Whiting, also mentioned in this will.
Nathaniel Whiting had a grant of 10 acres in Lynn in 1638. Nathaniel
was admitted into the First Church of Dedham on 30 Jul 1641. He was
made a freeman on 18 May 1642.
Leave was granted in 1683 by the Town of Dedham for Nathaniel Whiting
and his son-in-law James Draper to erect a fulling mill. The mill
also was used as a saw mill.
It was on the date of his death that the town empowered an agreement
between Nathaniel Whiting and James Draper, Jr. to build a fulling
mill.
(The date of their marriage is given in the town records as Nov. 4, not March 4, as the Dictionary gives it.)
