I will respond to your several recent messages under this reply
As noted in my earlier my response to Tawny, you can find online the early Nason genealogy that was published in Old Kittery and Her Families, ca 1903. That treatment is generally accurate, though mistakes were made. Another useful reference is the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire, also online for Ancestry.com subscribers; it, too, has a few errors. Either book is available at many libraries.
Richard Nason's will omits mention of two sons who predeceased him: Richard, jr., killed by Indians, and Jonathan, killed by his brother, Baker, in 1691.
There was a jury trial, and Baker was acquitted, 1693. That is why Baker is still around, until his death ca 1729.
There were two contemporary John Nason men in the early part of the 1700's, each with a wife named Margaret.
Baker's son, John, is generally presumed to be married to Margaret Sad Heard, and lived at Eliot.
John, son of Jonathan(3) Nason, married Margaret Lord, and according to Old Kittery And her Families, is the man who died of wounds received at Louisburg. The Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire says the Louisburg John is Baker's son.
There is an obvious conflict here, and online family trees seem to offer both versions. Harold E. Nason of Beaver Dam, N.B., who knows more about Nason history than anyone else, has the line as John4, Jonathan3, Jonathan2, Richard1. The first John Nason to migrate to New Brunswick was John5, son of John4 and Margaret (Lord) Nason. John5 m. Sarah Jenkins at Newburyport, Mass. prior to going to N.B.
There is little information in John Nason's 1744 will to identify where he belongs; there are sufficient clues to answer the question. He was "of Berwick" when he made the will. The Margaret Lord who m. John Nason was likely the daughter of Nathan and Margaret (Hearl) Lord bp. at Berwick in September 1713; the witnesses and appraisers of John Nason's will include Hearls and a Lord, strongly suggesting the Louisburg victim is John4, and not Baker's son.
