They settled in Manikin Town in the Colony of Virginia. He was became a naturalized citizen in 1805[1]
Jonathan served as a private from Sep 1776 to Sep 1779 in 8th Pennsylvania Continental Line in the Revolutionary War. His pension application in the National Archives stated he had been in the "Scrimages of Woodbridge, Bonbrook [Bound Brook, NJ], and in Broadhead [Col. Daniel Brodhead] and McIntoshes Campaign against the Indians." With the 8th Pennsylvania he spent the winter of 1777-1778 at Valley Forge.[1]
