HURD, Nathaniel, engraver, born 13 February, 1730; died 17 December, 1777. His grandfather came from England, and settled in Charlestown, Massachusetts Nathaniel engaged in the business of seal-cutting and die-engraving in Boston, and was considered superior to any one in the colonies in his occupation.
