Nathaniel Raymond, son of John Rayment and Judith Glover, was born 15 March 1671 in Beverly, and died 8 January 1749/50 in Salem.  He was married before 1692 to Rebecca Conant, daughter of Lot Conant and Elizabeth Walton.  She was born 31 January 1671 in Beverly, and died 5 December 1760 in Beverly.  They had eight children.  

The brothers John and William Rayment/Raymond were immigrants to the New World and settled together in Beverly, Massachusetts.  They are mentioned in their father, George Rayment of Glastonbury, England, mentioned the two sons in his will as being in New England.  John's brother William Raymond married Hannah Bishop, my 8th great aunt, as his first wife.  

Last week I featured their son's tombstone, Nathaniel Raymond, Jr.  You can see that post at this link HERE .
