    He was a charter member of Richmond Company, L. I. Was Lieutenant of South Company of Richmond Co. Militia. He together with John Morgan and others established the Church of St. Andrew, Richmond, Staten Island. From the church records by W. T. Davis we learn that "In addition to the charter, Queen Anne gave the church, perhaps through the Venerable Society only, several articles. These according to Dr. Burch were Bibles, prayer books, flagon, two chalices, a paten, a communion cover, and a bell. Of these a chalice and paten remain and may be seen in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, gallery H. 12. A photograph has recently been made at the instance of Mr. James M. Talbot. On April 3, 1723, a call was given to Rev. Robert Wyman, a missionary of the Venerable Society of Pennsylvania.

    On 17 November 1716 Abraham Titsworth and Margaret, his wife, sold to Nathaniel Britton, Esq., 80 acres on the South side of Staten Island, adjoining Nathaniel's other land, being 1/3 of 240 acres which Titsworth had purchased. The deed was acknowledged before Abraham Cole, Justice, recorded 28 Feb 1720/21, for Maj. Nathaniel Britton.
    Elmer Garfield Van Name, Britton Genealogy: Early Generations from Somerset, England to Staten Island, New York (Woodbury, New Jersey: Gloucester County Historical Society, 1970), page 8.

    On 19 November 1716 Abraham Titsworth and wife sold to Nathaniel Britton, Esq., 160 acres, being 2/3 of the 240 acres on the South side of Staten Island, west of the Great Pond. The deed was acknowledged before Abraham Cole, Justice and recorded 8 July 1719.
    Ibid.

    Will dated 1 June 1729 proved 11 Nov 1729. Called Nathaniel Britton, Esq., of Richmond County, being "dangerously ill." He states that he has thirteen children now living, six sons and seven daughters, and names them as Nathaniel, Richard, Nicholas, Abigail, Elizabeth, Alice, Rebecca, John, Samuel, Mary, Sarah, Rachel, and William. The first four having been provided for during my lifetime, the fifth and sixth having been partialy provided for. Gives to his wife, Elizabeth, one third of his personal property. Devises to son William, a lot of 60 acres, plus salt meadow at the head of the Fresh Kill purchased from James Dye, with condition that he (William) pay to grandson Nathaniel, son of son Abraham, deceased, the sum of 30 pounds when Nathaniel reaches lawful age. Calls daughter, Elizabeth, the wife of James Poullion; daughter Alice, the wife of John Coward. Mentions daughters Rebecca, Mary, Sarah, and Rachel as underage. Appoints wife Elizabeth and son John as executors. Witnessed by Lions (?) Stillwell, James Carmen, Daniel Sayre, Jr. (NYHSW 11:150) (Abstract here as per Britton Genealogy pp.8-9).
    Ibid.

    It appears, based upon the approximated ages of some of Nathaniel's older children, that Elizabeth Gerritson was not the mother of all of Nathaniel's children. It is apparent that Nathaniel had a first wife who has not been identified, and it is apparent that the six older children, Nathaniel, Richard, Nicholas, Abigail, Abraham and Elizabeth are from the first marriage. Alice is likely from the first marriage as she was married in 1729 which would place her birth before 1714. Rebecca was under age in 1729 which would place her birth between 1708 and 1728, therefore her mother cannot be determined. The last six, John, Samuel, Mary, Sarah, Rachel, and William are likely from the second marriage to Elizabeth Gerritson.

    Children by Elizabeth:
    John Britton b. ca. 1714
    Samuel Britton b. ca. 1715
    Mary Britton b. ca. 1717
    Sarah Britton b. 1719
    Rachel Britton b. 5 Mar 1721, d. 1814
    William Britton b. ca. 1723, d. 15 Mar 1804
