    Nathaniel was born at "Springfield" as the oldest son of Samuel Woodson Venable & Mary Scott nee' Carrington Venable. He married Mary Embra Scott on 7/3/1816. After he graduated from Hampden-Sydney College he became the leader of the Democratic Party in Prince Edward Co, a Trustee of Hampden-Sydney and a member of the legislature from 1835-1842. He served as Capt. in the militia during the war of 1812. He joined his father's firm, Venable & Venable, which business interests included tobacco purchase & shipping, flour mills, saw mills, tanneries and land speculation. In Farmville, one of the top inland ports in VA, he built warehouses along the Appomattox River. The business grew greatly up until the panic of 1837 after which it was reduced due to general deflation. The family was reared at "Longwood" plantation near Farmville. "Longwood" came into Nathaniel's possession from his uncle, Abram B. Venable, through his father after his uncle was killed in the Richmond Theatre fire of 12/26/1811 . It consisted of approx 1,200 acres. After the current home was built on the site of a previous residence, Nathaniel had his home remodeled & enlarged to accommodate his growing family. His heirs sold "Longwood" in 1873 & it now stands as the home of the President of Longwood University. (bio. by Jim Hutcheson)
