He [Richard] went to prison." Note: Daniel was his oldest son, but Richard is the one named as the murder. More research is needed to determine who actually killed Nathaniel. According to his death certificate, he was in Weston State Hospital for 3 years, 9 months, and 19 days. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and died of a cerebral hemorrhage. He is estimated to be 95 years old, but the hospital had no information on his date of birth. Yet they named his mother as Comfort Christian.
