An examination of his life included positions such as clerk of the County’s Superior Court, secretary of New Bern Academy’s board of trustees, and senior warden of St. John’s Lodge, number 2.

As for his slave woman Juliet’s son, possibly being Chapman’s son would explain Nathan’s emancipation and share of the family fortune.
