Biography

This Jonathan Alvord was born in 1712 at Northampton, Massachusetts, the eighth child Jonathan Alvord and Thankful Miller.

Note: This Jonathan Alvord may be confused with Jonathan Alvord (1711-1784), who was a son of Mary (Strong) & Thomas Alvord, born also at Northampton, and living contemporaneously.

This Jonathan Alvord married Elizabeth (Goslin/Phelps; 1711-1775), widow of Jonathan Phelps [b. 6 Nov 1711 @ Glastonbury, Connecticut, daughter of Henry Goslin (1670-1724) & Mary (Fox) Goslin (1677-); d. 14 Feb 1775 @ Northampton, Massachusetts]. They had 5 children, all born at Northampton, Massachusetts ^[1]:

1. Thankful (Alvord) Stearns, b. 16 Jan 1749 ^[2],^[3]; married Ebenezer Stearns
2. Jonathan Alvord (1751-1827) ^[4],^[5]; married Elizabeth Baker
3. Beriah (Alvord; 1754-), b. 3 Feb 1754 ^[6]; baptized 10 Feb 1754; married Abiathar French
4. Jehiel Alvord (1756-1829) ^[7],^[8],^[9]; married Dorothy French
5. (Infant) Alvord; d. 29 Nov 1757

Per the Alvord genealogy, Jonathan Alvord passed away 6 Oct 1796 @ Westhampton, Massachusetts.

Notes

A F-A-G site for the other Jonathan Alvord (mentioned in the above cautionary note), in its caption represents that it pertains to widower of three wives-- Elizabeth Sanford, Elizabeth Goslin, and Mary Smith ^[10]. This highly doubtful, and probably a result of the indicated confusion.
