Jonathan Pursel
ID # 2108, (1795-)
| Birth | Jonathan Pursel was born in 1795 at New Jersey. |
| Marriage | He married Elizabeth Vrooman, daughter of Adam Vrooman and Elizabeth McCowan, in 1842. The year of 1842 as shown for the marriage of Elizabeth Vrooman and Jonathan Pursel is approximate and is based on an approximate birth year of 1843 for daughter Phoebe for whom such evidence as we have supports her parents as being Jonathan Pursel and Elizabeth Vrooman. The marriage was probably performed in Upper Canada.There are some serious conflicts in the records. According to the 1851 and 1861 censuses, Phoebe's birth predates the 1851 census by some years yet her gravestone dates her year of birth to 1858. Further research is needed. |
