Tipton, Mr. Jonathan, died at the beginning of the month in Baltimore County, aged 118 years. He was born in Kingston, Jamaica, which place he left while young, and lived almost ever since in the province. He had his perfect senses to the last, especially a remarkable strength of memory.

Jonathan's age at the time of his death is just speculation at this time. Some researchers have his date of birth as 1659.

The research on the Tipton line has only been proven through documentation beginning with Jonathan. All previous generations are just speculation at this time.

Notes for SARAH PEARCE:
The following notes were found on the family treemaker cd's. It appears to be a very fortunate record. It seems to establish the fact that Sarah (Pearce) Tipton was the daughter of William Pearce. There are other records that establish William Pearce as Sara's brother. It would therefore, seem that they were both the children of William Pearce.

By 1705, William Pearce may have died, as apparently his daughter, Sara, wife of Jonathan Tipton, may have inherited his rights to occupy 100 acres of Pascall's Chance, as indicated by the following excerpt from "Maryland Warrants, Liber #6, Folio 426-427 (1705): Whereas, Jonathan Tipton, of Anne Arundel County, by his humble petition to his Lord's Dep(uties)..hath set forth that he is in pos(ession) in his rights of his wife, Sara, daughter of Wm. Pearce, of part of a tract of land called Pascales Chance, originally layed out for three hundred acres to which there is a piece of warrant land contiguous, unto which the petitioner made some small improvements by reason whereof..he prays that he might have a special warrant to lay thereon.." The petition was granted 11 July 1705.

This information came from Pearce Pioneers of Kentucky, by Marvin Pearce. It was a revised first generation piece written.
