Narrative
From "Genealogical Study of the Family of Josiah Fisher, Wilson Sanborn & Alberteen Eaton" Compiled by Helen (Burgess) Lindhorst, privately published 1978, revised 1993:
Nehemiah Tatom was a Councelor and Senior Surgeon in the Warwick Tribe in Bermuda. He married Patience Bullock, daughter of William and Patience (Painter) Bullock. He died before 1691.
His religion is unknown; however his wife was a Quaker. In 1661 he was fined by the Parrish Church in Warwick for the absence of his wife and daughter. In January 1677, his wife, Patience, was again fined for nonattendance.
The Tatum Narrative has many explanations as to absences and fines of Nehemiahs wife, Patience nee Bullock, from the Church of England's services. The Quakers did not fare too well as further reading in Tatum Narrative explains. Nehemiah was sympathetic but remained in Parish Church. His son did marry into and belong to a Quaker community when be went to Flushing Long Island, New York.
There are quite a few Quaker names interspersed throughout the Tatum family history, i. e. Paynter(Painter), Bullock, Dorset, Taylor, etc.
