    JONATHAN OXFORD (son of EDWARD OXFORD and MARY BRIGGS) was born Abt. 1767 in NORTH CAROLINA, and died 1811 in JONES COUNTY, GA..He married SUSANNAH CANNON on 12 Dec 1784.

    Jonathan's marriage to Susannah is recorded in the Caswell County, North Carolina marriage records. His will is recorded in Jones County, Georgia. The following legal notice appeared in the "Georgia Journal", November 6, 1811: Executor's Sale. Will be sold on Saturday the 21St of December next, at the house of Jonathan Oxford, late of Jones County, deceased, two horses, being part of the personal property of said deceased. (signed) Lazarus Battel, Ex'r. From the Caswell County, North Carolina Deed Records was this notice: "On May 31, 1791, Jonathan Oxford sold to Starling Gunn, Gunn, both of Caswell County, 400 acres, part of the Granville Grant "taken up by Edward Oxford" on Rattlesnake Creek." By this time Edward had already gone to Georgia and it appears that Jonathan had remained in North Carolina to dispose of the land and he followed his father to Georgia shortly thereafter. Jonathan is shown in the 1790 Census of Caswell County but no statistics about his family are listed. In the 1804 Tax Digest, Jonathan is listed in Wilkes County in the same vicinity as his brother, Edward, Jr. but moved to Jones county before 1811. Jonathan drew land in the 1805 lottery as a resident of Wilkes County. While Jonathan was too young to have participated in the Revolutionary War, he apparently had the right to the draw because his father, Edward Oxford, Sr. had aided the cause of the Revolution by supplying the troops with provisions and as Edward's oldest surviving son. When Jonathan died in Jones County in 1811, he was only 44 years old.

    Children of JONATHAN OXFORD and SUSANNAH CANNON are:
