 General Notes:
Jonathan was the only brother under six feet in size in his family. He was called "the Peacemaker", unusual for the strongest male family in Gallia County. He and the Glenns were early pioneers of Vinton, Ohio. He became a Presbyterian because of the Glenns. The Adney's had been a Quaker sect when immigrating to this country. (CL-455, 150, 474)
Jonathan and his wife are remembered by his nephews and nieces as "wonderful persons". When a child, he played with Indians. His good friend was "cousin Johnny" a "tame" Indian who sadly met his death because of it. He could remember a story and tell it without leaving anything out after just one reading. He could stay up half the night telling stories and be up long before the Whipperwill sang. He liked to work and could just as easily be in the fields at night. He was one of the most respected and influential men in Huntington Township. He and his wife had eleven children. Six sons and three daughters grew to adulthood. (CL-376, 509)
Jonathan was age 66 yrs, 8 months and 9 days according to his cemetery stone. (CL-455) His likely mother was buried next to him along with his wife. Her name was Barbara Adney, wife of John, who died on Mar. 26, 1855 at age 73 years.
