An American Family History

Jonathan Stanhope, Jr

Various spellings of Stanhope
Stanape, Stanup, Standhope, Stanhop, Stanop, and Stannup

Sudbury in Middlesex County, Massachusetts was incorporated in 1639 with a population of 476. A major battle of the King Philip's War was fought in Sudbury in 1676.

Jonathan Stanhope, Jr. was born on February 2, 1657 in Sudbury, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. His parents were Ensign Jonathan Stanhope, Sr. and Susannah Ayres.

The Genealogical and Family History of the State of Maine by George Thomas Little, Henry Sweetser Burrage and Albert Roscoe says that Jonathan, Jr. married Sarah Griffin, but I believe that it was his father who married her.

Jonathan died November 19, 1681 when he was only 25 years old.
Lady Day Before 1752 the year began on March 25th. Dates between January 1st and March 24th were at the end of the year, not the beginning.
