1835 notary public and justice of the peace, ChathamMarriage Notes (Keziah Ryder)
" The first store [in Chatham], of which reliable tradition speaks, was one kept in 1820 by Isaiah Nye and William Hamilton. In 1829 Mr. Nye moved, and started a store on the main road near the old meeting house, Mr. Hamilton continuing the first until he sold it to Joshua Nickerson, who in turn sold it to Captain Benjamin T. Freeman in 1853. Mr. Freeman continued in the store on the shore a few years, then erected and removed to the store now occupied by his son, C. A. Freeman, who succeeded him in 1884. After the store connected with the old wharf another store at the new wharf was kept by Zenas Atkins several years. Among others, Thacher Ryder was a prominent merchant here, opening a store at Old Harbor soon after 1820. At his death, in 1863, his son-in-law, David H. Crowell, of Chatham Port, removed the goods to his residence, where he not only sold them out, but continued in the business several years.
...
Isaiah Nye was the first postmaster at North Chatham, appointed January 18, 1828. He kept the office at the store of Nye & Hamilton. Shadrack N. Howland, appointed March 19, 1831, was the next incumbent" Deyo 27
" Isaiah Nye in his early years was a merchant of Chatham, and later was a United States deputy collector of customs and registers of deeds. He and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal church. They were the parents of a son and six daughters, Hester A. R. Mayo being the last survivor. Isaiah Nye died in May, 1835, his wife the following September. Encyclopedia of Massachusetts. 1916
