About 1790, Jonathan settled in Durham, Maine living on the west end of Lot 61. This was farmland, so he was a farmer, while his father operated Beal's Landing and Ferry site on the east end of Lot 61.
Jonathan married Lucy Doughty of Topsham, Maine on January 16, 1792 in Topsham, Maine. Lucy's parents were Hannah (Wallace) & Stephen Doughty. Stephen Doughty was a veteran of the Revolutionary War. Lucy was born on August 16, 1768 in Harpswell, Maine. The name "Doughty" can also be found spelled as "Doty".
