- Walter G Thrall genealogy states ...
"Jonathan C. died in 1852; his family are in Rutland. He was a communicant in the Episcopal Church, and a man of extensive information and influence Samuel R. is a Presbyterian clergyman in Illinois. The following obituary notice is copied from the Rutland Herald "Died April 4, 1844, in West Rutland, Chauncey Thrall Esq., aged 72 years. The inhabitants of this place have been called of late to mourn the departure of an unusual number of leading men; men who have occupied such stations, and taken such a part in the affairs of the community as to cause their deaths to be universally felt and lamented. The deceased was one of that number. The equanimity of his temper, and his uniform kindness as a father, can be realized only by those who sustained to him the relation of children, and are left to lament their loss. But as a citizen and a Christian, his example has been before all, and was such as to gain the respect and love of his neighbors, and inspire them with the hope that death did not find him unprepared."
He had been a Representative in the Legislature, and most of his life in. some public employment. His wife died a few years before him.
Jonathan had 3 children with Betsey Gates and 7 children with Mary Townsend
