Individual Details

Several accounts credit Jonathan with Revolutionary War service, and this may well be true. A Jonathan Richardson served in Capt Samuel Low's company, Col Benjamin Simond's (Berkshire Co.) regiment from 9 July to 14 Aug 1777, with 36 days' service at St. Croix. He served again as a Sergeant in the same company in Sep 1777, and again as a private in the same company in Sep and Oct 1780.
Mary and Jonathan had 13 children, born 1752 to 1777, of whom the first seven or eight were born in Newton, and the remainder were born elsewhere, probably mostly in Cheshire, Mass. The death date for Jonathan comes from an online account and could not be confirmed. Mary is buried in the Indian Opening Cemetery in Madison, NY, where she may have gone to live with one of her children.
