Jonathan, 1st, who was commander of the fort on Saco river, had probably seen service against the Indians on the frontier before being placed in charge of this important post.

\"He was a man of affairs in York as early as 1730, and his name appears on many early documents, showing how many positions of trust he was called to fill even when a young man: indicating that the public had confidence in his abilities and his integrity. He was captain as early as 1743.

He seems to have continued his residence in York until 1756, when he appears as a justice of the peace in Narragansett, No. 1, now Buxton; there he bound himself to settle lot 5, in range B, of the 1st division. He was called to command at the Saco river block-house and made his home there for a number of years.
