" Nathan Edson married in Bridgewater February 27, 1738, Mary Sprague,born March 26,1722, daughter of Jonathan and Lydia (Leavitt) Sprague .She was not yet 16, and he was about 22. Very little is now known about this couple, who were the parents of our Nathan. The births of the children were not recorded, and the family bible is lost trace of. The husband went to war when he was 32 years old, in King George's War. He enlisted March 25, 1748, and served until December 21 as a sentinel in Captain Thomas Henderson's company, being stationed for a time at Pleasant Point. He died about two years after this - March 31, 1750 at Pleasant age of 35. He left five children. The widow, at that time 28 years of age, never married again, as far as is known. She was appointed administratrix of her husband's estate and rendered her final account as such on October 27, 1765, signing her name "Mary Edson." Her children were evidently of age at that time. Her death is not recorded."
