In time he became the first Governor of the Colony of Massachusetts. The Carver family grew and multiplied, a grandson, Dr. Eleazer Carver, settling in Marshfield, neighbor to Daniel Webster. The doctor had a son, Nathaniel, who seems to have been fully endowed with the Yankee spirit of push and unrest; and withal, he seems to have been to some extent the unruly member of the flock, or to put it mildly, not so fully imbued with the Puritan notions of the day as should have been the case, or might have been looked for in one of his ancestral descent. At all events the young Nathaniel wandered into the South, where he spent many years in varying fortunes. He was very ingenious, and at one time devoted much attention to the cotton-gin as invented by Eli Whitney, an improvement on which he finally invented, taking out the first patent ever issued for "an improvement in cotton-gins." With the usual fate of inventors, however, Mr Carver grew poorer, while those who had the capital to invest in his improvements grew wealthy, and finally he left the South in disgust, and straying finally into Northern New York, settled on the shore of the St Lawrence, sometime in the thirties. Here he married Sarah Jane, daughter of Samuel Britton, of whom mention has already been made, by whom he had three children, Nathaniel Eleazer, who graduated at Bridgewater, Mass. Normal Institute, and is now in Wisconsin; Sarah (Britton), who is now the wife of James H .Fox, Esq., of Clayton, and Lizzie M., who married Capt Myron W Gotham. Nathaniel Carver died in 1849, and was buried close to the shore of the St Lawrence river, of which he was often enthusiastic in his praise. Some years later, through the efforts of his daughter, Mrs James Fox, his remains were removed to the little cemetery at Sand Bay, where, with a modest stone at their head, placed there by the hands of a loving daughter, they now rest, a broken link of a long chain of Puritan ancestry, whose blood, however mixed, has been the predominating strain, whose influence has been strongest felt in the growth, training and development of the American Nation.
