Nathaniel Waterman

M, (circa 1809 - after 1860)
Birth*circa 1809 Nathaniel was born at Princess Anne Co., Virginia, circa 1809. 
Marriage* He married Catherine (?). 
1830 Census*1 June 1830 Nathaniel was listed as the head of a family on the 1830 Census at Princess Anne Co., Virginia.1 
1860 Census*1 June 1860 Nathaniel was listed as the head of a family on the 1860 Census at Henry Co., Alabama.2 
Death*after 1860 He died after 1860. 
Biography* Nathaniel was listed in the 1860 census in Henry County, AL. He was one of the richest men in the county, with assets of over $14,000, which was a great sum of money in 1860. Living nearby were the Culpeppers. Nathaniel was born around 1809 or 1810 in VA, and was no doubt the Nathaniel Waterman who was listed as age 20-30, with wife 20-30, and no children, in the 1830 Princess Ann County, VA census. So he was just married in 1830. There were various Waterman wills in early Princess Ann, the earliest of which was that of Solomon Waterman in 1745. Based on similarity of given names, these early Princess Ann Co., Virginia Watermans were probably connected to the early Rhode Island / Connecticut Watermans.
