Nathaniel Felton (May 15, 1615 – July 30, 1705) was a landowner in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He served as a juryman, grand juryman, constable, Ensign, and Lieutenant. He was the son of John Felton (1585–1627) and Ellen Thrower (1588–1652).[3] His home was among the first built in what is now Peabody, Massachusetts. Together with the home of his son, Nathaniel Felton Jr., the pair of houses became known as the Nathaniel Felton Houses.[4] He is known for his role in the drafting and, along with his wife, being the first to sign a petition in support of John Proctor.[5]
