Jonathan DANNER ^{1 2 3 4 5}

  General Notes:

Jonathan Danner and Elizabeth grew up in York Co., PA and lived in Hanover which is 18 miles sw of York which is in York Co., PA in 1800. By profession at that point, he made cigars and sold them for one copper penny apiece. (CL-514E) In the 1800 York Co., PA census, he and his wife were between the ages of 26 and 45. They had a son and daughter under the age of 10 at that point in time. This doesn't quite fit with their actual children, from Gallia Co. census records, it is likely that they have 2 sons and 2 daughters by that point in time -- unless the older ones were living with a relative at that time. There also would have been a new baby in the house if we have Elizabeth's birthday correct. In any case, he is listed as John, the tobacconist on the Heidleberg Twp., York Co., tax lists from 1806-1817. (CL-514)

Jonathan Danner who lived in Perry Twp, Gallia Co., Ohio in the 1820 census, had many children, two the appropriate age to be our Jacob, and was himself over 45 years of age. It appears that his wife had died by the 1820 census due to the fact that the oldest female in the home was under age 26. One of his probable sons was named Solomon and lived next to him in the 1830 census in Perry Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio Jonathan was between 60 and 70 years of age at that time. He had 2 daughters between the ages of 15 and 19, and one between 30 and 40 plus a son between 20 and 30 living with him at the time. (CL-446)

Jonathan married Elizabeth MOYER before 1794. (Elizabeth MOYER died before 1820.)
