East Readfield Cemetery. Nathaniel Whitter and his wife, Hannah (Clough) were parents of the brothers who came here about 1765. They joined them later. His wife, Hannah (Clough) had been kidnapped by Indians as a child, in Salisbury, MA. What an unsettling feeling it must have been for her to return to the wilderness Maine. Nathaniel was born in 1711 and died in 1784 in Readfield - which was still part of Winthrop at that time.
