In 1783 Jonathan settled on the "Stanton Farm" in Essex, Chittenden Co. Vt., he was one of the first settlers , and came from Mass.
Jonathan removed from Connecticut to the Onion River, Vt., before the Revolutionary War. " He was driven away, with all the settlement, during the war, by the tories and Indians. Their homes were burned, their stock killed, and the settlement laid waste. Jonathan and family then removed to the head of Lake Champlain and settled at White Hall, and remained there until the close of the war, when they returned to Onion River and resided for several years. His wife d. here, aged about 40. Some time after this ( in 1810, Says Mrs. Gorman) he went to Plattsburg, N. Y. , and lived with his son Martin until his death, at the age of 97. I saw him at 80; he was as spry as a boy and his teeth were perfectly sound." ( Letter from Amaziah.) His grave in Riverside cemetery, Plattsburg, N.Y. , was marked by the D.A.R. in 1900
