• Notes

  Jonathan was born in Watertown, Massachusetts, on September 15, 1646. He was the s/o Edward Sanderson and Mary Eggleston. Jonathan deposed in 1696, saying he was 49, and that he had lived with Justinian Holden when he was 17 on Holden's large farm on the Cambridge-Watertown line. He was probably a laborer for Holden. After living with Holden four or five years, on October 24, 1669, Jonathan married Abia Bartlett, daughter of Ensign Thomas and Hannah Bartlett, in Cambridge. Jonathan and his bride moved to the adjoining farm, called "Hassel's Farm", and lived there for 21 years. Abia and Jonathan had eight children, all born in Cambridge. The youngest was born in Cambridge but baptised in Watertown, so the family must have moved to Watertown between May and July of 1689. In 1688, his tax of 8 shillings, 4 pence is the 17th highest tax in Cambridge, so he must have been prosperous and an owner of real estate, although there is no record of his owning or selling "Hassel's Farm".
