About Nathaniel Oliver, Sr.
Nathaniel OLIVER
- Birth: 8 Mar 1651/2, Boston Suffok MA
- Father: Peter OLIVER (1616-1670)
- Mother: Sarah NEWGATE (1621-1692)
- Spouse: Elizabeth BRATTLE
Member of the Massachusetts legislature, circa 1696.
According to Gerald Warren's book, BOSTON 1689-1776 (pages 51-54):
After 1692 he had been deeply involved in Phips's fraudulent use of the Vice-Admiralty Court for personal gain. Whenever the Customs Office had seized a vessel for violation of England's Navigation Acts, Phips as Judge of the Vice-Admiralty Court would dutifully condemn the ship and its cargo. But instead of auctioning the ship and cargo publicly, Phips privately sold the condemned property for a pittance to Oliver. Oliver would then sell the vessel and cargo as a private individual and give eleven-sixteenths of the proceeds to Phips. thus cheating the Crown.
