• Notes

  Gravestone Inscription: Lieut. Nathaniel Gunn died Apr. 22, 1807 in the 82nd year of his age. "Good health, prosperity and peace/With love to Christian friends/Made him bid welcome to the guests, pilgrims, strangers/Where they waited, waited long and sang the praise of the Lord/But sweetness and the heartfelt pang his last years did afford." Nathaniel Gunn Lieut. is the son of Nathaniel, one of the 40 original settlers of Montague, Mass. From the information that we can gather, it appears that Nathaniel continued to operate the Tavern in Montague that was first built by his father. Other records indicate that Nathaniel served as a Selectmen of Montague for 1778-1779 and again in 1781.
