Jonathan was son of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Baker) Pelton. He was an infant when his parents made their journey from Connecticut to Oneida County.
He married Caroline Seymour, daughter of Josiah and Fanny (Bradley) Seymour, about 1820. They had one child, Henry Seymour Pelton in 1822. Henry recalls his mother's death from cholera in 1832. If this is correct then the Catherine Pelton listed with Jonathan in 1850 census is his second wife. A second child, Julia, born in 1834 was the daughter of Jonathan and Catherine.
He made his living as a meat inspector and as a butcher. In 1830 the Utica Sentinel carried a legal notice regarding the insolvency of Jonathan's estate.
In 1860 Census Jonathan was in the city hospital at Utica. Note appears to say he was blind from blasting. It also indicates he was a pauper.
He was probably buried in Potter's Field which was located just north of Whitesboro Street and the DL&W Railroad. This cemetery was dismantled in 1915 and the remains were transferred to Forest Hill. It is unlikely that Jonathan had a marker.
