THIRD GENERATION IN AMERICA

32. JONATHAN 3 DUNHAM (Jonathan 2 John 1) born in Plymouth ca. 1658-9;[1] died before 5 October 1711. [2] There is no Dukes County probate record for Jonathan. Jonathan married first, UNKNOWN, probably while the family resided in Falmouth, a wife whose identity has not been established. Jonathan moved to Edgartown about 1684 with his father and family. His first (unknown) wife died after March 6, 1686/7 when her son Gideon was born. Jonathan married second in Edgartown ca. 1690 ESTHER (NORTON) HUXFORD, [3] daughter of Nicholas and Elizabeth (--) Norton, and widow of Samuel Huxford. She was born ca. 1662, and died shortly before 8 April 1724 when inventory of her estate was taken by her son Samuel Huxford. [4]

In an article by Mrs. John E. Barclay, F.A.S.G. Five Jonathan Dunhams Untangled, published in The American Genealogist, Vol. 44, pages 218-223 with reference to Jonathan 3 she states, β€œ...he had two sons named Jonathan. It was not uncommon where there were two wives for each to name a son after his father, even if the first was still living.” Mrs. Barclay further states, β€œIt is not clear how many children Jonathan had by his second wife, none being recorded, but certainly Jonathan, Hezekiah, Solomon and Cornelius.”
