Born Jun 19 1769, Middletown, Middlesex County, Connecticut.^2,4  

He married Mary Redmond^1,2,5 [Hitty Redmond^6,7].  Mary was born about 1770.⁸

Christened Apr 3 1805 at First Presbyterian Church at Genoa, Cayuga County, New York.¹

In 1820 Nathaniel was living in Aurora Township, Niagara County, New York.¹¹  

Admitted as a member to West Aurora Congregational Church, Griffin Mills, Erie County, New York on Apr 10 1833.¹  

Mary died Jan 9 1814, Batavia, Genesee County, New York.⁸  Mary's death was noted as follows: "Hitty Henshaw w. of Nathaniel Jan. 19, 1814, 43 y, in Batavia".^6,7  

Nathaniel Henshaw died Aug 22 1838, age 70 years.^5,8,12,13

Nathaniel's death was noted as follows: "Nathaniel Henshaw Revolutionary Soldier in Prison 14 Months in Bermuda, died in Aurora Aug. 22, 1838, 70y".¹⁵  But his involvement in the Revolution seems questionable as he would have been only 7 years old in 1776.
