Name of first son: The original record for Nathaniel is damaged and the record is read as "___iell." The town clerk of Beverly when recopying the records thought the name was Samuel. However, in all subsequent records he is called Nathaniel, and there is no other reason to think he was born Samuel and then baptized as Nathaniel.Sources

Name of first son: The original record for Nathaniel is damaged and the record is read as "___iell." The town clerk of Beverly when recopying the records thought the name was Samuel. However, in all subsequent records he is called Nathaniel, and there is no other reason to think he was born Samuel and then baptized as Nathaniel.Sources
