Jonathan Straw

  General Notes:

He is a probable son as he lived in Deering and fits the profile of a son of his father Jonathan. There were only 2 known Jonathan Straws of Deering from 1790 - 1840 [he died 1843] and he connects nicely with this line. also documentation links him to sibs Reuben, Joseph and Susannah.

EATON vs STRAW [plaintiff is his sister [Mrs. Susannah Eaton] and his other 8 other brothers and sisters or their representatives
the 18th of August, 1841, Jonathan Straw made and executed his last will, of that date, which has been duly proved and allowed by the court of probate for said county, by which he devised his real estate in the words following:
"First, I give and bequeath unto my daughter, Huldah Straw, my only child, and to her heirs, all my property, real, personal and mixed, after paying all my debts and funeral charges; but in case she should die and leave no issue, so much of my real estate as she shall not need for her support during her natural life, I give and bequeath to James Straw, of Weathersfield, in the county of Windsor and State of Vermont, and son of Reuben Straw, my nephew, by his paying two hundred dollars to Huldah Straw, of Strafford, in the county of Orange and State of Vermont, daughter of Joseph Straw, my nephew; and in case said James Straw should die and leave no issue, then the property to go to my lawful heirs."
Huldah Straw, the testator's daughter, died before the decease of the testator, leaving no issue. H the court Eaton v. Straw.


A probability is that the Jonathan who died in 1833 @ age 25 [b. 1808] is his nephew and a s/o his brother Joseph who lived in Strafford, VT.
