I have heard that Nathaniels family originally came from Bermuda and he possibly died in Barbados. There also would appear to be a Virginia, USA connection. I can trace the Eve family to 1697 in Bermuda, but as with Nathaniel, the name was used by father, son, brothers so the early years are hard to search. I can't find my pages on John and Susanna's marriage right now. I believe that Nathaniel was a Mariner. I also know that there might have been a family connection with NELMES since John Eve frequently shows with him in ads in the Royal Gazette in Bermuda. Let me know if anything strikes a chord. Liz
