Death:
14 Jul 1852
Notes:
Source: Same as Leonard Dwight Carver. Nathan was of Livermore, Androscoggin
County, Maine. Nathan's parents emigrated to Livermore from Sudbury, Mass in
1779. Ancestry traces to William Carver of Marshfield, Mass., who lived to the
advanced age of 104 years.
Death date derived from tombstone
inscription at Wyman's Cemetery, Livermore, Maine.
"Carver, Nathan, d. July 14, 1852, a.77."
Possible daughter to be researched from same cemetery:
"Carver, Nancy M., d. June 16, 1859, a. 50." Age would place her as
possible child of Nathan and Hannah.
