Jonathan Stratton was born on April 6, 1756 in Hardwick, Worcester County, MA, and he was the son of Ichabod and Hannah Goodnough Stratton. He married Eunice Cutler about January 21, 1776, based on the filing of their intention to marry in Greenwich, Hampshire County, MA. Eunice was the daughter of David and Dorcas Reed Cutler. Jonathan and Eunice Stratton then moved to Bennington, Bennington County, VT relatively soon after their marriage, where Jonathan became successfully engaged in farming.
Military records show that Jonathan Stratton enlisted as a Private in the Vermont Militia during the American Revolution in Captain Joseph Safford's Company of Colonel Ebenezer Walbridge's Division while he was residing in Bennington. His documented service consisted of two days of active duty during an alarm that commenced near Bennington between August 2 and August 8 of 1781.
Jonathan and Eunice Stratton moved from Bennington to nearby Shaftsbury, Bennington County, VT sometime after that military service. Genealogical sources indicate that the couple had ten daughters and one son, and the date of Jonathan Stratton's will indicates that all eleven children were still living in 1823. The name of their son is given in that will as Jefferson Stratton and the names of the ten daughters are listed with the names of their husbands: Hannah (John Allan), Amanda (John Moore), Olive (Simeon Watson), Eunice (Ezra Wood), Matilda (Lyman Galusha), Louisa (Abel Smith), Philinda (Aaron Gunn), Venlora (Lemuel Leach), Triphena (Waterman Leach) and Rebecca (John Morse).
Jonathan Stratton died in Shaftsbury about July 4, 1827 and his exact burial location is unknown. Eunice Stratton then moved from Shaftsbury with her son Jefferson to Leslie, Ingham County, MI where she died in 1853.
