Nathan Aldis

Nathan Aldis was an early settler of Dedham, Massachusetts who served on that town's Board of Selectmen in 1641, 1642, and 1644.[1][2] He served in a variety of other positions in the town and served as a deacon at First Church and Parish in Dedham.[3] He signed the Dedham Covenant.[1]

In 1642, John Elderkin sold half of his rights to the mill on Mother Brook to Nathaniel Whiting and the other half to John Allin, Aldis, and John Dwight.[4][5][6][7][8][a] They operated the mill "in a rather stormy partnership" until 1649 when Whiting became the sole owner.[7][5][4]

Aldis and his wife Mary were the parents of John Aldis and ancestors of Asa O. Aldis.[10] His daughter, Mary, married Joshua Fisher.[11] His prosperity diminished in his later years.[12]
