Fremont was know as Poplin at the time when Jonathan lived there. He married Hannah Goodridge Nov 27, 1730, in NH, Merrimack Co, Newbury.

Many amusing, and some ridiculous stories were told of him. It was once said that he whipped his beer barrel because it worked on Sunday and his cat because it caught a mouse when he was at prayers.

He traded his farm for one at Poplin, N.H., but died shortly there after. He was one of the proprietors of Meredith, N.H. His second wife, Patience Thurrell, was an ardent Christian and a great influence on her husband. She was almost 101 years old at her death.

From the book "The Sibley Family in America", volume 1 of 2.
