Your question may refer to several people.
The first schoolmaster of Harvard College was named Nathaniel Eaton, and he lived from 1610 to 1674. He was an Englishman by birth and attended the Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge. In the 1630's he traveled to New England and took up work with Harvard College. He was a cruel schoolmaster and embezzled money from the school, so he was ordered to step down and pay a fine.
Another Nathaniel Eaton, still living, is an actor, journalist, and is best known for his co-authorship of the film Which Way, Por Favor?
Finally, your question may refer to a character in the book, The Witch of Blackbird Pond. Nathaniel ("Nat") Eaton is the son of a ship captain and love interest of the main character, Kit Tyler. He is a very spirited and joking young man who doesn't fear the risk of getting into trouble.
