NATHANIEL WING JR.
SON OF NATHANIEL WING AND SARAH HATCH

Nathaniel Wing Jr (Nathaniel Wing, Stephen Wing, Rev. John, Matthew, born in Sandwich, Massachusetts about 1692...died before 1764. Nathaniel Wing Jr. married Jemima Blackmer (Blackmore) in Rochester, Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts on December 1, 1716. They were married by Mr. Timothy Ruggles. Jemima was born in Rochester, Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts on November 16, 1695 to Lt. Peter Blackmer (Blackmore) and Elizabeth Unknown. It is believed that Jemima died in 1764 at the age of 68. The town records of Rochester in 1764, state that one Jemima Wing, evidently an aged person, became a charge upon the town and was buried at the town expense. We have no proof to say that this Jemima was the wife or widow of Nathaniel, but we have no record of any other by the name of Jemima Wing living at that period. It is probable, that widowed in her old age, Jemima returned to Rochester to live among her kinpeople, the Blackmers. Nathaniel was living in Sandwich (probably that part of the town known as Pocasset), in 1730, for we find him mentioned in the Rev. Benjamin Fessenden's lists as one of the heads of families (other than Quakers) in Sandwich in that year. The Sandwich town records give the birth dates of his sons Malatiah and Ebenezer. For many years, we inclined to the belief that Nathaniel took up the claim of his father at Gorham, Maine, for the latter's service in King Philip's War, but later researches confirm us in the opinion that he lived and died in Pocasset. A deed is in the possession of Edward True Wing, a descendant, at South Portland, Maine, whereby Nathaniel conveyed land to his son Joseph in Sandwich, April 21, 1750. His children, Joseph, Maltiah and Ebenezer, lived in Pocasset, and we have found nothing to infer that any member of his immediate family lived anywhere but in that town. Among the papers in the possession of a descendant, Mr. Edward True Wing, of South Portland, Maine, is a deed executed April 21, 1750, by Nathaniel Wing. The deed designated the grantee as "Joseph Wing of Sandwich in the County of Barnstable, my son, laborer." The consideration is £250. It conveys "one moiety or half part of all my lands, Swamps & Swampy ground buildings and housings & salt march in the town of Sandwich." The deed is acknowledged by Silas Bourn, justice of the peace, and is witnessed by Nathaniel Wing, Jr. and Ebenezer Wing, Sr. Nathaniel Wing Jr. and Jemima Blackmer (Blackmore) had the following children: 1. Obed Wing, date of birth unknown. 2. Mercy Wing, born 1718, Pocasset, possibly at the Natty Wing Home. 3. Joseph Wing, born June 17, 1721 4. Meltiah Wing, born January 26, 1726/27 in Pocasset. 5. Ebenezer Wing, born August 1, 1733 in Pocasset.
