Jonathan was born in Bradford, MA on November 26, 1673 and died on September 30, 1747.
He married on July 15, 1696 to Lydia Day. She was born on March 18, 1676 and died on September 16, 1739 and was the daughter of John and Sarah (Pengry) Day, and thence, sister to his brother Benjamin's wife, Mehitable.
He married, second, 3 Nov 1739, widow Jane (Pierson) Plummer, who died 1764. This last marriage, late in life and soon after the death of his first wife, evidently was not a happy one, as he says in his will: "Since my wife Jane has eloped and refuses to live with me, I give her five shillings and a pair of leather gloves." The widow was not satisfied with this, as afterwards she receipts for £50.
Jonathan Kimball bought and sold many tracts of land. Some of the deeds concerning these transfers throw considerable light on the relations of various parties concerned. "Jonathan of Bradford for love and goodwill gives all his lands in Chester to be equally divided among his four sons" Benjamin, Jonathan, Nathaniel, and Isaac, 12 Nov 1733.
All children were born in Bradford, MA.
