"Near Deerfield, Ind., July 1st, 1879, Jonathan Maxson, aged 68 years, 7 months, and 20 days. He was buried at Pittsburg, Randolph county, Ind. J. G. B."

Jonathan was born on November 11, 1810, in Clark Co., Ohio; the son of Jesse Maxson and Sarah Sutton Maxson.

On November 30, 1829, Jonathan married Christiana Davis in Clark Co., Ohio. They raised a family of 11 children: Matthew(1831), Ann (1832), Abner (1834), Olive (1835), Sarah (1837), Angelina (1839), Lucinda (1841), Jacob (1843), Emily (1846), Jesse (1848), and Clarinda (1851).

The 1850 U. S. Census for Madison, Jay Co., Indiana, registers Jonathan, Christiana and 9 of their children; Lucinda died in 1842 and Clarissa was yet to be born. He is age 39 and a farmer.

On January 22, 1858, his wife, Christiana died in Milton, Wisconsin.

On October 21, 1858, Jonathan is married to Alice Smith.

In August of 1859, they give birth to a son, James Smith Maxson, in Wisconsin; and, on July 18, 1860, a daughter, Mary Elvin Maxson is born in Kansas.

June 18, 1863, another daughter, Elizabeth J., is born to Jonathan and Alice, where they live in Long Branch, Richardson Co., Nebr.

On July 9, 1863, Jonathan's name appears as a constituent member of the newly organized Longbranch Seventh Day Baptist Church near Humboldt, Richardson County, Nebraska. His family at that time likely included Alice and the children: Emily, Jesse, Clarinda, James and Mary, with Elizabeth J. being born that same year.

Jonathan's sister, Elizabeth Jane Maxson Furrow, and her husband and children were the first to pioneer the area where the Longbranch Seventh Day Baptist Church was later organized; arriving in 1857.

On April 5, 1865, his daughter, Clarinda, died of consumption, in Long Branch, Richardson Co., Nebraska. From the late 1850's into the 1860's this county in Nebraska had an epidemic of dysentary and consumption. Many people and children died quickly.

The 1870 U. S. Federal Census, finds Jonathan and his family in Ridgeway Township, Osage Co., Kansas. He is age 60 and a farmer.

By the time of his death in 1879, they have returned east to Indiana, where he dies on July 1, 1879, in Deerfield, Randolph Co., Indiana.

The 1880 U.S. Federal Census finds Alice, James, Mary, Elizabeth and Calvin living in Deerfield, Randolph Co., Indiana. Around 1905, James moves to the state of Washington and Alice is living with James in 1910. She is age 85, widowed.
