Nathaniel Prentiss Boston Tea Party Eyewitness to History

(October 14, 1743 – June 13, 1817)

Carriage Maker and Saddler, Nathaniel Prentiss’s supposed participation in the Boston Tea Party comes from an 1854 memoir written by his son.

The book states that Nathaniel, “was one of the band, who, disguised as Indians, destroyed the obnoxious tea in Boston Harbor.” Since this memoir misses the contemporary cutoff of 1853, Nathaniel Prentiss is noted as an Eyewitness to History.

During the Revolutionary War, Prentiss marched with Captain Samuel Thatcher’s company of Colonel Gardner’s militia regiment. This regiment would answer the Lexington Alarm on April 19, 1775.
