Jonathan, b. 11 May 1648, d. at Middletown (rec. Hartford), 1 Feb. 1697/8; m. Dorothy Stow, dau. of Rev. Samuel; d. 4 July 1698. [ref 55:2-217] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Jonathan, of Middletown, born May 11, 1648; died Feb. 1, 1698; m. Dorothy, died July 14, 1698. [ref 60:2-17] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Jonathan Gilbert, Jr. married Dorothy (d. of Rev. Samuel and Hope) Stow, of Middletown. She was born about 1658. He petitioned the General Court -- in consequence "of the smallness of the legacy bequeathed to by his father's will made about 8 or 9 years before his decease" -- for some further provision from the estate, pleading that he was the oldest son by a first wife, and contended that "the law of God in Deut. 21:16, 17, seems plainly to hold forth that the first born may not be disinherited on private affection, or deprived of his birthright inheritance." This will was made when his father's "love and affections toward [him] run lowest, and his displeasure at the highest;" but since his "return from the West Indies," his father had been satisfied with his conduct; to gratify whom, "in order to settlement, proposed desire to join in marriage with the daughter of the Reverend Mr. Stow, which, after consideration had, honored father and mother did freely give their consent to and advice in." A complete reconcilliation was afterwards obtained, -- "with that freedom and expression of love which was beyond my expectation." In this petition he refers to "one of the legatees, Nathaniel," -- "deceased since the will was made," -- and to Samuel, the youngest brother but one." The widow, Mrs. Mary Gilbert, reminded the court, "that [her] husband's estate came not by descent from his ancestors, but was acquired by himself, and was therefore in a peculiar manner at his dispose," &c. [ref 60:2-14] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Jonathan "Gilburt" was bound over to the Hampshire Co., Mass., court on 28 March 1676, "for that he being one Yea a Cheife Actor in that Riotious Assembly at Hadley being then Present with them and haveing his Cudgell, Sideing with them in their Publique affronteing of Authority" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | ||||||||||
