From "The Wales Family: A Genealogy" by Charles P. Wales
"Nathaniel Wales spent the first part if his life at Milton, MA, and joined the
church there in 1687. He moved to Windham County, CT in 1711. He lived in the
southeast quarter in the village then called Windham Green or the "Hither
Place," actually part of the town of Windham. The first town meeting was held
June 12, 1692. On Dec. 4, 1700, before the church was fully organized in
Windham, Nathaniel Wales was one of three men chosen as deacons. His will,
written three months before his death, described him as Esquire, and indicated
considerable prosperity.
After his death the Windham church records said:
'Mr. Nathaniel Wales, chosen one of the deacons of the church at is organization
in 1700, after he had served God in his generation faithfully many years in his
life did with the holy disciple lean upon the breast of his beloved and by the
will of God meekly fell asleep in the cradle of death on the 22 day 1744 in the
85th year of his age.'"
