Baptized 16 Jan 1742 per Amesbury VR.Through research which includes Amesbury church records; census records and List of Inhabitants of NH 1776 by Emily S. Wilson I have found the following: A Jonathan Straw died 5 March 1828 in Deering, NH. Per 1790 census records a Jonathan lived in Deering. Census of 1800, 1810 and 1820 also shows a Jonathan Straw as resident. Also Wilson's List of NH Inhabitants includes a Jonathan in Deering in 1776. His age at this time can be estimated at 34 yrs.
