Jonathan Schanck was born 8 January 1800 at New Brunswick, Middlesex County, New Jersey, son of William P. Schanck and Sophia Slover. He was married first to Sarah Ann Broodnex. Sarah was born on 14 March 1802.

The couple's son Jonathan died on 26 August 1841 and their son Hiram died on 29 August 1841. Sarah died during an epidemic on 11 September 1841 in Jasper, Steuben County, New York. Sarah and three children- Henry, Jonathan, and Hiram are buried in Schenck Hill Cemetery in Jasper.

Jonathan was married second circa 1842 to Philinda Bessey. Philinda was born 1 April 1812 in Onondaga County, New York, daughter of Phillip Bessey and Susannah (–?–).

The Schancks lived in Jasper, Steuben County, New York. In 1830, his household contained two males under age 5, one male aged 30 to under 40 (Jonathan), one female under age 5, one female aged 5 to udner 10, one female aged 30 to under 40 (Sarah), and one female aged 60 to under 70. In 1840, Jonathan's household contained two males under age 5, one male aged 5 to under 10, two males aged 10 to under 15, one male aged 40 to under 50 (Jonathan), one female aged 10 to under 15, one female aged 15 to under 20, one female aged 20 to under 30, and one female aged 40 to udner 50 (Sarah).

On 27 September 1850, Jonathan and Philinda owned a farm valued at $2,000 in Jasper. Son Charles was helping his father. Charles, John, Emma, and Sarah were attending school. Philinda was caring for Charity and two-month-old Albert. They were also counted there in the 1855 New York state census. On 26 June 1860, the couple and their children- Emma, Charity, Albert, Burton, and Wilbur- were still in Jasper. Jonathan's farm was valued at $2,500 and the four eldest children were attending school. In 1865, the the couple and four children- Charity, Albert, Burton, and Wilbur- lived in a frame house in Jasper. Jonathan worked as a farmer.

They moved to Long Lake, Grand Traverse County, Michigan between 1865 and 1866. Soon they were joined by Philinda's sister Harriet Bessey Fillmore and her family. The first township meeting at Long Lake was held at the Schanck house on 1 April 1867. In 1870, the Schanck's farm was worth $800 and their personal possessions $400. He was elected Clerk of Long Lake township in April 1871. Jonathan received a land patent for 155 acres of land in section 9 of Long Lake township on 10 February 1873. In April 1872, Jonathan was elected township Supervisor. He was again elected Supervisor of Long Lake township in April 1873. After attending the first meeting he received $3.96 for mileage from the Board of Supervisors.

Jonathan died on 2 October 1873 in Long Lake from kidney disease. In his will, which was dated 4 October 1873 [two days after the date on his death record] Jonathan left everything to Philinda with the estate to be divided between his two sons Albert and Burton after her death. James L. Conner, Benjamin H. Durga, and Ira Chase witnessed the will. It is curious that he did not provide for his daughter Charity and sons Daniel and Wilbur, especially since all three appear to have had mental problems. Jonathan's estate was admitted to probate in November 1873.

Philinda died on 1 August 1877 at Long Lake from dropsey.

They are probably buried in the Linwood Cemetery in Long Lake. There is no marker in the cemetery and their burial is not listed in cemetery records. One possibility is that they were buried on their farm.
