Married 1793 to Mary Hughes Coshow
In 1800 he moved his family to Missouri in a Keelboat and landed at the mouth of Femme Osage Creek on Christmas Day. He then settled first at Cap-au-Gris in Lincoln County MO.
He was back in Femme Osage about 1 mile west of Nathan Boone. Jonathan built the first water mill in Missouri just below his cabin on Callaway Creek, near where it enters the Femme Osage Creek. James Bryan made the grindstones for this mill from stones taken from the hill near where the mill stood. The mill would grind from six to ten bushels of grain in twenty-four hours, and for several years it supplied the settlements with meal and flour, the same stones grinding both wheat and corn. The flour was bolted in a box, by hand, and they made pretty good flour that way. Mr Bryan would fill the hopper with grain in the morning, and the mill would grind on that until noon, when the hopper would again be filled. The meal ran into a large pewter basin, which sat on the floor at the bottom of the stones.
He built a large walnut log home on a hill high above the Femme Osage creek. Jonathan saw much service in the Indian Wars. The burying ground is on a hill side near where the cabin stood. Here us where James Bryan his son Jonathan and Jonathan's wife Mary Hughes Coshow Bryan are buried.
In 1805 Jonathan was listed on the tax rolls of St. Charles County, Section 3, a family of 11, 1 slave, 12 horses and 18 cattle.
