Biography

Jonathan sold land he owned in Allen County, Kentucky to his nephew, Hezekiah Alexander 15 Garrison.

On 18 Nov. 1816, Jonathan and Anna (his wife) sold to John M. Garrison for $200, a parcel of land (acreage not stated) in the Allen County, Kentucky, on the west fork of Bays Fork. (Jonathan signed his name. Anna made her mark.)

In 1820, he was in Sullivan County, Indiana. (census page 115) After marriage, he moved to Parke County, Indiana, prior to 1820. He received a land patent there on 10 Mar 1824, and another on 26 Sep 1831.17 Jonathan was an elder of the Shiloh Presbyterian Church in Parke County, Indiana. In 1822, a young missionary, Charles Beaty, gathered up the few Presbyterian families living along Little Raccoon Creek between the mouth of that stream and the present site of Waveland. After preaching for some weeks, he organized a society known as the Shiloh Presbyterian Church, and in 1824, they built a hewed log house near Little Raccoon Creek, about four miles northeast of Rockville. This was evidently the first church house in Parke County, but its exact location cannot be identified. Jonathan Garrison was one of the elders of this church. Later his church became Rockville Memorial Church.

He is listed as the head of household in the 1830 Census of Parke County, Indiana, on page 113, line 20.

Moved to Township 6N4E, Fulton Co., Illinois, by 1840 Census. In 1850, he was living with his son, Jonathan Edward, Jr.'s family in Carthage, Hancock County, Illinois. He was 70 years old, born in North Carolina, a farmer. In the household with him were his son Jonathan E., age 39, born in Tennessee, Nancy C. age 15, born in Illinois, and Calvin M., age 10, born in Illinois, children of his son, Jonathan, Jr.^[1]
