“Capt NATHANIEL NILES,2 eon of "Old John Niles," b. at Braintree, Aug. 16, 1642; m. Sarah Sands, dau. of James Sands of Block Island.*
He seems tn have resided for a time at Dorchester, and to have removed thence to Block Island some time previous to 1673; removed to South Kingston, R. I. $ and finally came back and d. in Braintree, Dec. 22. 1727, in the 86tb year of his age. Rev. Samuel Niles, his son, says he was 87; but the Braintree Town Record is consistent, with itself, in giving his age as I have now quoted it. How many children Capt. Nathaniel Niles had, and what were their names, we are not informed, and are sure only of the following—
15. Jeremiah.3
16. tSamuel,3 b. on Block Island, May 1, 1674; of whom see the sequel.
17. Nathaniel,3 dwelt at S. Kingston, R. I., father of Sarah* m. 1739, Hon.
Samuel Niles. [30]”
