    Jonathan Son of James & Abigail Jones Was born in Weston June 15th. 1739.
    [Note: based on baptism record which was recorded in chronological order and fits its context, this birth was recorded after the fact in a group with his brothers and sisters, so long after the actual birth and is believe to have the wrong year. In this case too, the baptism indicates he was born on the 14th, the day before his baptism. As baptisms were usually done on a Sunday, and 15 Jun 1740 was a Sunday.]
