OCCU Farmer
He moved to Crab Orchard, Kentucky, 1n 1833, stayed 8 or 10 myears then moved to Burnsville, North Carolina. He reared 8 sons,all large men and more than six feet tall.
His two sons's Jacob and Lewis were home on furlough from the Union Army when they were capture and tried and sentenced to be shot.
Their father asked that they not shoot the boys without shooting him, and so they shot all three at Erin Unicol CountyTennessee.
A short time after that the other son who belonged to the same company, made it a point to capture the same Bushwhackers and they were disposed of . This was in 1864.
There appears to be some confusion surrounding Jonathan's parentage. If he was born in 1811, then his mother would have to be Judy Taylor not Patsey Carter as Rev. Ervin Tipton's books suggests. There also appears to be some confusion surrounding his wives as well. Was he married twice? Was his first wife Lizzie McJimpsey and his second wife Mary E. McJimpsey? Or is it possible that Mary E. is Lizzie? Could the E. stand for Elizabeth and therefore Mary and Lizzie are one in the same?A letter was written in 1908 by the daughter of Lafayette Tipton. She states that Lafayette's mother was Mary McJimpsey and his grandmother was Patsey Carter. But if Mary was 30 in the 1860 census and Lafayette was 22 that would not be likely. More research is needed to sort out the confusion.

According to Rev. Tipton's book, two of Jonathan's son, Jacob and Lewis were home on furlough from the Union Army when they were captured, tried and sentenced to be shot. He asked that they not shoot his sons without shooting him so they were all three shot near or at Erwin, Unicoi Co., Tenn. A short time later, the other sons who belonged to the same Company, captured the same "Bushwackers" who shot their father and brothers and disposed of them in 1864.
