"1. Nathaniel1 Piper, ancestor of Elisha4 Piper, and so far as I have been able to ascertain, of nearly all the Pipers in this country, was born in England, probably about 1630. He emigrated from Dartmouth, in Devonshire, and settled in Ipswich, Mass., as a farmer. … in the Suffolk County Registry of Deeds, Book I, p. 330, a deed from Martyn Stebens, of Boston, Mass., to Wm. Bartholomew, of Ipswich, dated Dec. 15, 1653, and witnessed by Nathaniel1 Piper, which seems to prove conclusively that he came to this country as early as Dec. 15, 1653. He married Sarah ______, … and died in 1676, in Ipswich. His will, … recorded in the Ipswich records, is dated March 7, 1675, and was proved, Sept. 26, 1676."
