2nd tier candidates

​

  • Nathaniel Martin b 1759 - d 1847 Hampton, CT

      Nathaniel is probably too early for the known plane, but Hampton is only about 40 miles from Providence, RI,                  making him the strongest 2nd tier candidate.

​​

  • Nathaniel Martin b 1788 Hampton, CT - will 1848 Brooklin, CT

      detailed list of carpenter tools including planes

      Nathaniel is too late for the known plane's details.

​

  • Nathaniel Martin b ca 1771 to 1775

      Portsmouth, NH, joiner in 1819. Nathaniel's location in Portsmouth is not close to the SE MA - RI area which fits            the details of the known planes.

(The presentation of visually based elements (scale imprints, scale drawings, etc.) is a challenge, especially when moving from the printed page to the realm of an electronic medium. For reference, the original GAWP 5, CAWP, BARS and SOJ publications had pages which were 8-1/2" in width.)
