Biography

Jonathan was born sometime after 1695 perhaps just after execution of his father's Will on Dec. 13, 1695, since Jonathan is not mentioned therein.

Jonathan married Mary Weeks on November 17, 1720 in Greenland, New Hampshire. Before their first child was born Mary joined the church in Oyster River, New Hampshire on November 19, 1721, the day before her 1st child, Jonathan, was born (on Nov. 20, 1721).

Jonathan's Will executed in 1755 named the following children:

1) Jonathan b. Nov. 20, 1721; m. Mary Weeks

2) Ebenezer, bp. Aug. 9, 1724

3) Mary, bp. June 3, 1726; m. Col. Benjamin Chadbourne of Berwick on Oct. 10, 1751

4) Richard, bp. Feb. 23, 1728

5) Comfort, m. Stephen Perkins

Jonathan's date and location of death are pending additional research.
