3. The book "Edward Jessup of West Farms of Westchester Co., New York, and his Descendants," by Henry Griswold Jesup, 1887, pp. 272-73:
"(11) Jonathan Jessup (Edward,4 Edward1), baptized 3 Aug., 1707, was born in Fairfield, but in 1732 was already living in Greenwich, where he also died. His name appears in the list of the First Parish, the oldest settlement in the town of Greenwich, as early as 1739. He added to the usual occupation of a farmer the very useful trade of a carpenter. His wife's name was Sarah, who is said to have been much younger than himself. Letters of administration were granted her 2 Aug., 1757, and his estate was distributed 14 March, 1759. The inventory was £403, 12s. gd. Eight children are mentioned, all living either in Stamford or Greenwich. The widow subsequently married Timothy Knapp* of Greenwich, and died at the age of ninety-three. Her children (all by her first marriage) were:
+499. Jonathan,** b. 12 Sept., 1734.
+500. Amos, b. 1 May, 1736.
+501. Nathaniel, b. 23 May, 1738.
502. David, bap. 22 Jan., 1749, who was living in 1771, and died, unmarried, at the house of his brother-in-law, George Dibble, in Stamford (Stanwich Parish).
+503. Deborah, bap. 22 Jan., 1752.
+504. Samuel, d. 17 Nov., 1812.
+505. Silvanus, d. about 1812.
+506. Phebe, bap. 22 Jan., 1749.
Nathaniel, Samuel, Silvanus, and Phebe were minors at the death of the father. At the Stamford Probate Office there is now on file the bond of Jonathan Dibble (their uncle) as guardian of the last three. At another date the mother gives bond as guardian of her two children; Jonathan, as guardian of his brother Nathaniel; and Amos, as guardian of Samuel. This family apparently belonged to St. John's Episcopal Parish in Stamford, as the names of several of the children and grandchildren are found upon the records of that parish."
* Greenwich Town Records, ix. 22 (1 April, 1767), contain record of quitclaim of dower-right given by Timothy
Knapp and Sarah Knapp, of Greenwich, to "our well-beloved son Silvanus Jezup."
** The Town Records read as follows: "Jonathan Jezzup, first son, was born 12 Sept., 1734; another son was born 1 May, 1736, and he called his name Amos Jezzup; ye third, born 23 May, 173S, and he called his name Nathaniel Jezzup. Entered 10 April, 1740." The above is on a loose sheet, indexed as p. 339 of Book iv."
MARRIAGE:
1. Fred Knapp in the source cited below notes that the widow Sarah Jessup was previously married to Jonathan Jessup and that her maiden name is unknown.
2. Date of marriage is presumed to be no earlier than the last child born to Lydia: Ruemah, b. 12 Aug 1767 in Greenwich.
