Individual Details

Nathaniel was older when he married Sarah Bean. He is thought to have had an earlier wife, suggested as Elizabeth Froman, but not proved as such and in fact a child of Paul Froman as suggested below would have have been about 15 years OLDER than Nathaniel making such a union highly unlikely.
"Nathaniel Cartmell, the second son of Nathaniel of Homespun, married Elizabeth Froman, daughter of Paul Froman, and settled at his future home Retirement in 1775, which was allotted to him by his father. As stated elsewhere, he secured grants for other tracts. With these, together with several purchases, he owned a large landed estate. His wife died about 1789. No children left by this union."

On October 16, 1820 Moses Russell gave a deposition in the case of "Nathaniel Cartmell & Sarah his wife late Sarah Bean, a daughter and devisee of Mordecai Bean dec'd plaintiffs and James Bean Executor of Mordecai dec'd, Judith Beane widow of said dec'd, Isaac Beane,, John Beane, John Richards and Peggy his wife, Jacob Frye and Betsey his wife, also devisees of said dec'd defendants". Moses testified that he was one of the Commissioners appointed by the Frederick County Court to "settle the estate account of Mordecai Bean dec'd with James Bean, Executor". The other Commissioner was Joshua Lupton. There was an issue with respect to a payment of $300 James Bean had made from the estate "on a verbal contract with his father".
