10 Nathan. Here the authority for the genealogy is mainly verbal (not documentary) from Sag Harbor, where the descendants of 10 Nathan mostly have resided, and I will not answer for its correctness. 10 Nathan3 had ch. 39 Nathan+ and 40 John.4

179 Wakeman5 lived alone with his family at Ponquogue during the Revolutionary War. On one occasion some British troops appeared at his house and commanded him to yoke up his oxen and draw a boat over from the Peconic to Shinnecock Bay. He did so - got the boat and started with a British guard in the rear. On the journey across, evening came on, and Wakeman took advantage of the darkness and played the guard a Yankee trick. All the time crying whoa! at the top of his voice, he began to brad up the oxen with his goad until they ran at their utmost speed. The British, thinking from his cries the oxen would soon stop, did not attempt to overtake him. and, as soon as he was beyond their hearing, he turned the cattle into the brush, and that was the last they ever saw of their boat.

Burke's Gen. Armory gives the coat of arms of one family of this name in England. But the name is French and doubtless the English family sprang from a French ancestor, either Huguenot or royalist, both of whom emigrated to England in the troublous times in France.
FOWLER FAMILY.
Dec. 10, 1678, a house lot of ten acres of land was granted by the proprietors of the town to Christopher Fowler on condition of his remaining here seven years. This was the ordinary method for the young colony to make desirable additions to itself. The town records make mention of his death on March 24, 1683, that is, of 1683, because the rate list of September, 1683, contains the name of Widow Fowler. The rate list of 1694 contains the name of Richard Fowler, but not the name of the Widow Fowler. We infer, therefore, that Richard was his son.
This 2 Richard? had son 3 John3, who died Dec. 18, 1799, and had w. Abigail and ch. 4 John+ b. Sept. 26, 1749. 5 Zebulon4 b. Jan. 19, 1752, 6 Richard+ b. Dec. 1, 1754, 7 George4 b. Aug. 14, 1759, 8 Submit4 b. Apr. 27, 1762, and 9 William+ b. Jan. 8. 1764.
