IF these two Jonathans of Hebron are indeed the same person, this would be evidence that he is different from the Jonathan born in Salem and Died in Brimfield. Notice that Lidia, Thomas, are born before the marriage of Jonathan and Abigail who married in Brimfield. Also, Jonathan of Salem moved to Brimfield in 1939, thus all his subsequent children would have been born in Brimfield not Hebron.
Additional research is underway.
