  Birth	1 Nov 1792	Cornwallis, Kings County, Nova Scotia   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Note	Ref: The Chute Genealogy states that Jonanthan was born in Cornwallis. This was theTownship (Twp) extending from Scotts Bay to the Cornwallis River and includes Berwick, some 25 miles in extent. His parents may have been near what is now Wolfville in what was originally Horton Twp. He was a farmer and from a statement made by the Rev. Chipman we know he settled in a wilderness and the land was cleared by hard work. He saw tragedy in his life, losing his first two sons when small, and having another son mute. We know that it was only his strong belief in his religion that carried him through such sorrow. He was instrumental in forming the Baptist Church in this wilderness and was a strong supporter all his life. (President) John Sanford Genealogy by Jack Minard Sanford, 1966, page 118, shows b d m and children. His wife and thus their children are desendants not only of Richard Warren but also Elder William Brewster. See notes Melinda (Woodworth).
