NATHANIEL PIERCE HOAR.
Son of Hon. Samuel Hoar ; born, Lincoln, Massachusetts, September 2, 1784 ; Harvard College, 1810 ; practiced, Portsmouth and Deerfield ; died, Lincoln, Massachusetts, May 24, 1820.
This gentleman received his legal training under his brother, Samuel Hoar of Concord, Massachusetts, and Jeremiah Mason of Portsmouth, and was admitted an attorney in Rockingham County, in 1813, and settled at Portsmouth. He remained there till about 1819, when he removed to Deerfield, but stayed there only a little time, and then returned to Massachusetts.
Little has been learned of his professional qualifications or work, but an obituary notice published in the " Portsmouth Oracle " states that he was well read in his profession, was a gentleman of taste and vivacity, with many attached friends; that his judgment was sound, and his energy and decision marked; that in his later years he had to contend with trouble and disappointment which he bore with fortitude, and in which he enjoyed the consolations of religion.
