Biography

Jonathan was born before 1715. Birth is an estimate based on other information in the biography

During the one hundred and twenty years of its existence the Town Hill Church, New Hartford, CT, had only four ministers. The first minister was Rev. Jonathan Marsh who served between 1739 and 1794. Here he was ordained, and here he died. It was during his term the colonies declaration of independence from England and the Great Awakening impacted New England. The Great Awakening of 1735-1745 was a reaction to a decline in piety and a laxity of morals within the Congregational Churches of New England. Itinerant evangelists generated renewed enthusiasm and spread the message of revival throughout the churches of Connecticut.^[1]
