• Death: Based on his father's probate records, Abt Apr 1746, East Lyme, New London, Connecticuit. He is identified in his father's will dated 10 March 1746 but he is not part of the land distribution. No date is given for the land distribution. His father's will states that "it is my will that if either of my sons dye without a child that his part of sd land be equally divided between his brothers." Nathaniel's daughter Mary was baptized in June 1746, indicating he died shortly after his father.

Nathaniel married Mary Smith on 24 Aug 1744 in East Lyme, Connecticut.

  Noted events in their marriage were:

• Marriage: From East Lyme Society Records, 24 Aug 1744, East Lyme, Connecticut. August 24, 1744, Nathan Beckwith and Mary Smith both of Lyme married together (pg. 35)

Note: Nathaniel Beckwith's brother, Daniel, was married to Miriam Smith. This may be for a different Nathaniel Beckwith. Need to research Smith family to verify. The Find a Grave record for their daughter, Mary, indicates her mother was Mary Comstock.
