- Source:Fowle, Eugene Chalmers. Descendants of George Fowle, (1610-11 -1682) : of Charlestown, Massachusetts, p. 101, says Jonathan is the son of Joseph Converse and Hephzibah Brooks. The marriage record and his birth record both name the father Josiah. This may simply be a typo, but unfortunately, it has since been copied verbatim into other sources.
