Notes for JONAS (DR.) STANBERY:
JONAS STANBERY

Son of Recompence 1710-1777, brother to Samuel 1754-1823. Jonas was born Jan.25, 1761 probably in Scotch Plains, NJ. He was a doctor. His wife's name was Frances, unknown last name.
In 1800 census they are in New York City. Believe they remained there until they moved to Zanesville, OH in 1814.
In 1906, a reporter from the "Plainfield Courier"(NJ) told of an interesting interview he had with the late Mr. Stanbery, a "Real Son of the Revolution". Mr. Stanbery said that his father was Recompence Stanbery(Jr.); that his family always spelled their name Stanbery; that his father's brother, Jonas-a doctor had lived in Wheatsheaf near, Rahway, but had removed to Newark, Ohio in 1814; had nine children, one of whom-Henry-became Attorney General for Ohio. That his uncle's home was called Oakland Hall, etc. This from A History of Scotch Plains, NJ by Reignette Marsh, 1936.
Jonas may have ended up in Newark but he came first to Zanesville. I've only found four of the reported nine children, but I haven't done a lot of research on this branch. I thought I would include what I'd found so far.
