Nathaniel Tracy was an American merchant, revolutionary, and politician. Starting off with a mercantile business with his brother and brother-in-law, he made more than $6.7 million offering services for the Revolutionary War. He also served in the General Court of Massachusetts and Massachusetts Senate during the early 1780s. He lost most of his fortune to wartime expenses, fraud, and bankruptcy, and he fell into poverty during the last few years of his life.
