Nathaniel Felton came to Salem in 1633, when 17 years of age; he made a voyage to England in 1634, and returned in 1635; he settled near Felton Hill, Salem, about 1645, the part afterwards called Danvers - now since 1876, Peabody. He was juryman in 1655, and a constable in 1657; he was chosen Ensign in 1679, and Lieutenant in 1681. He became a member of the church in 1648, and his two oldest children were baptized that year. Reverend Dr. Felt, author of Annals of Salem, says, "He was a man of good faith and judgment. He was frequently called to give his testimony about litigated estates." In 1676, he was appointed appraiser of the estate of his brother-in-law, Christopher Waller. In 1684, was appointed overseer and appraiser of Zerubbabel Endicott's estate. Nathaniel Felton's deposition of April 6, 1705, signed by his own hand, says he has been in Salem, 72 years. The same time he testified that North River in Salem was called Naumkeag by the Indians.
