Nathan Frink

Captain Nathan Frink (19 May 1758 – 4 Dec 1817) was an American lawyer of Pomfret, Connecticut.[1][2] He joined the American Revolution first on the side of the States where he gained a reputation as a "dashing officer",[3] then switching to support the British where he was derided as "a notorious traitor to the States".[4]

He took a land grant after the war, making his home in New Brunswick, Canada where he served as a Member of the Legislative Assembly.[2]
