      Nathaniel Britton born 1630 in Birmingham, Metropolitan Borough of Birmingham, West Midlands, England, died 1684 in Old Town Station, Richmond County (Staten Island), NYm1663, June 12: "The courte having heard the difference between Walter Wall and Nathanyell Britton concerning Mary Wall servant to Nathanyell Britton for two years and complaint wase made to the courte of Gravesende but nothing coulde be proved nether from the servante nor by witnise, whereof the courte orders the sayde servant shall live with her sayde master during her ful time, and that sayde Nathanyell doth promise to use the childe well and to find and provide all things convenient for her and at the expiration of her time to give her two suts of clothes and a cow calfe: this in the presence of Will Wilkins, John Cooke, Charles Morgan, Will Goulding." (Gravesend, L. I. Court Records)

      It is likely that Walter Wall had become a widower, and had bound out his daughter, Mary, a mere child, for her better bringing up, to Nathaniel Britton.
      (WALL of Monmouth County, NJ)
      His parents were Richard Brittaine and Christian Reymers of Somersetshire, England.
