Text From Source: He was born in 1733 Woodbridge, Middlesex County, NJ.107 Previous books and histories say that he was the son of Nathaniel DONHAM Sr. and Joannah THORNELL. This was unlikely for two reasons. Nathaniel DONHAM Sr. was born in 1679, making him 54 when Nathaniel Jr. was born. Nathaniel DONHAM Sr. also already had a child named Nathaniel. This other Nathaniel DONHAM, who was born 17 October 1726, married an Elizabeth WILSON and moved to New York.

Brent SCHLOTTMAN, of Chandler, AZ, suggested on the Prodigy computer service in Fall 1994 that Nathaniel was actually the son of John DONHAM, and grandson of Nathaniel DONHAM Sr. Back then the title "Junior" only meant that there was someone older in town who had the same name, whether he was the father or not. John DONHAM, who was born in 1708, would have been of an appropriate age to be Nathaniel Jr.'s father. Also Nathaniel DONHAM Jr.'s oldest son's name was John — It was a common tradition to name the oldest son after the grandfather. Brent also said that Isaac Watson DUNHAM's book gave a clue by saying that this John DONHAM went to Pennsylvania. We know that Nathaniel DONHAM Jr. went to Pennsylvania and could have taken his father with him. There is still no proof of this relationship, as Nathaniel could easily be the child of any of Nathaniel DONHAM Sr.'s other sons, but it seems to be the most likely one at this point.

Another history says that Nathaniel DONHAM Jr. was the third child of the second marriage of his father. Further, "[The father] was twice married in New Jersey. By his former wife there was born to him but one child, christened by name John. By the second marriage there were three sons and one daughter. The sons were William, Jonathan, and Nathaniel...."108 John DONHAM Jr., the book says, got his father's estate. Jonathan DONHAM married and stayed in New Jersey. William DONHAM moved to northern Alabama.
