Notes:

Savage, in his Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, states that Nathan and his wife joined the church early in 1640 and 1641, respectively. They had brought from England, certainly Mary, and perhaps other children beside John. He was made Freeman 13 May 1640, and was chosen one of the first two deacons. Mary and son John had administration of his estate.


Nathan Aldis of Dedham, MA, is considered the immigrant ancestor of the Aldis/Aldus family. He was admitted to the Dedham Church on 11 Feb 1639/40. He was chosen as one of the first deacons of the Church on 23 June 1650. On 13 May 1640, he was made a freeman. He first appears in town affairs as a viewer of fences on 17 Apr 1640 and was elected selectman in 1641, 1642 and 1644.


From NEGHR, Vol. 150, p. 488

Nathan and Mary made their home in Fressingfield, Suffolk, until appparently May 1635, for an entry in the Fressingfield Tithe Book on May 4 of that year notes that Nathan Aldous is "to goe out of town at May." In his brother John's will, 26 July, 1639, Nathan is named as living "over sea".

The earliest known record of Nathan "over sea" --in Dedham, Massachusetts--is his admission to the Dedham Church on 11 February 1639/40. Mary, wife of "borther Alldys," was admitted 11 Mary 1640/1.

From BACON AND ALLIED FAMILIES, by J. Dean Bacon, Published by Murray & Gee Inc., Culver City, California, 1958

Nathan Aldis was born in England about 1596 and married there Mary . He came with his wife and two children to Dedham, Massachusetts about 1638. He was admitted to the Church there Feb. 11, 1640, and his wife March 11, 1641. He was Freeman May 13, 1640; `viewer of fences' April 17, 1640; Selectman 1641-2-4; as a Dedham Proprietor he signed the Dedham Covenants, and received grants of land, which were small as he held only a small number of cow commons. In 1642 he bought one-sixth interest in the water mill."

He was chosen one of the first Deacons of the Church, and was on the committee on the meetinghouse and the pastor's salary.

His name was spelled Aldace, Aldhouse, Alldys, Alldess and in other ways on Dedham records. The spelling of names was a matter of indifference in that age. The wits of Charles II amused themselves in signing their names in as many forms as they could devise.

He died March 15, 1676, at Dedham. Administration of his estate was granted "to Mary Aldis, his relict and John Aldis their sonne." His widow, Mary, died Jan. 1, 1677.

"In August 1642 Nathan Aldis acquired a sixth interest in the water mill on East Brook. Seven years later he, with John Allin (the Pastor) and John Dwight, sold his interest to Nathaniel Whiting, the fourth partner."

"Nathan Aldis acted as appraiser in a number of probate cases, and in two of these the original papers are preserved. His signature of the date of 1642 has been reproduced from certain town papers."

Nathan married Chickery, Mary Abt 1623, England. Mary was born Abt 1604, Fressingfield, Suffolk, England; died 1 Jan 1677, Dedham, Norfolk Co., MA, USA. [Group Sheet]
