Not much has been found on Jonathan. His birth date of 1660 is just an estimate.
Jonathan married a Susan (last name unknown). His will below shows that they had 6 children. Only Dinah (my 7th Gt-Gd-Mother) who married William Bray has been traced.
The first record for Jonathan is a land purchase on 14 Oct 1695. He paid 15 pounds for some land in what was then Perquimans County, NC.
1740 probate records in then Pasquotank County, NC show his will:
From of leave my plantation at ye head of Sawyer Creek and all ye land belonging to it to my younger son
Jonathan Jones at his mthers discece . . . .

The 1740 inventory of Johathan's estate was taken by Joseph Humphrey. It was written on one sheet of paper containing 24 lines. Some of the items on the list were livestock, farm implements (plow), tools, 2 old barrels, bath tub, bed, clothing dishes, drinking mug, books, 2 old guns, a sword, candle stick, 2 bee hives, cash, and 15 sheets of paper. No furniture was listed.
Jonathan's burial location is unknown. It probably was on a family farm cemetery in current day Camden County, NC. The local grave marker used at that time were wooden and consequently they did not last long.
