Birth*

Joseph York was born say 1731.1

A Joseph York was one of four or five men chosen as haywards at the Newmarket Town meetings in March of 1751, 1753, 1754, and 1756. [Newmarket town records, 1:39, 46, 48, 54] There is no other record found at present for this Joseph, and his placement as a son of Thomas is pure speculation and should not be considered as any kind of proof of a relationship. But there seems to be no other Josephs who are currently accounted for in the genealogy who are likely to be this Newmarket individual. Might he be the father of the Joseph York, a Revolutionary soldier from Nottingham born ca. 1756, who later moved to Northwood? He is currently unconnected in this genealogy. The fact that Joseph's possible father Thomas owned land in Nottingham argues for a connection.

Birth*	Jonathan Young York was born circa 1752.1
Marriage*	He married Sarah Smith on 17 November 1785 in Exeter, Rockingham County, New HampshireG. He was from Exeter and she was from Stratham.2,3
	He is placed here as a son of John York very tentatively with no evidence. But of all the possible candidates to be his father this seems the most likely. It is probable that he is a brother to John Carr York, as they were both millwrights, neighbors, and involved in land transactions together. And the fact that they both had middle names at a time when that was still relatively uncommon argues for a sibling relationship, despite one being John and the other Jonathan. Unfortunately no document has yet been found stating a family relationship between the two. His apperance in the Exeter tax records in the 1770s after that of his purported brothers Richard, Nicholas and John Carr York argues for them all being from the same family. Unfortuntely there is no baptismal record for a Jonathan York in Exeter like there is for most of his other siblings, but perhaps it just was accidentally omitted from the list of baptisms kept by the minister. That list was just a list of all of the people who he had baptized over a multi-year period, apparently written down all at once, so it would be understandable if he left a name or two out by mistake. He was first taxed in Exeter, N.H. in 1773, which suggests a birth around 1752. His tax rates that year were among the lowest in town, as they were in 1774. His highway tax district in 1774 was described as “Beginning at the corner of the lane by Benjamin Smith’s from thence the road by the water side to Newmarket line also the road leading over the parsonage to Eliphalet Giddinge’s from thence the road called the Lanes end to the water side.” [Exeter Town Records, 1:581, 691, 636, online at ] Tax records past 1774 haven't been checked yet, but he apparently continued to live in Exeter. On 16 Jan 1783 Jonathan Young York of Exeter, yeoman, sued Reuben Brown of Deerfield, husbandman, for nonpayment of two debts dated 30 Jul and 28 Sep 1782 totalling 12 pounds. He won his case for 6 pounds, 1 shilling and 9 pence, plus some costs of court. [Rockingham County Superior Court case 5497] In the 1790 census of Exeter his family consisted of 1 male over 16, 1 male under 16, and 5 females. On 27 May 1790 Jonathan Young York of Exeter, yeoman, deeded for the price of 4 pounds and 4 shillings to John Carr York of Exeter, millwright, about 10 1/2 acres of land in Exeter on the road leading from the great bridge to Daniel Grant’s house, bounded by the road, James Rundlet's home lot, land of John Carr York, and land that Jonathan Young York had purchased of John Phillips, Esq. Sarah York his wife released her dower. Both signed their own names. Oliver Peabody and Francis Peabody witnessed his signature while Caleb Mitchell and Joseph Young witnessed hers. The deed was recorded on 24 Mar 1795. [Rockingham Deeds, 138:395] On 19 Feb 1793 James Calfe of Exeter, yeoman sold for 30 pounds to Jonathan Y. York of Exeter, yeoman, one half of his full right to Exeter Fresh River and one half of the Com [or Cam?] Mill standing at the upper dam. Witnesses were Joseph G. Bennett and Robert Parkes. [Rockingham Deeds, 133:239] On 21 Apr 1796 Jonathan Y. York of Exeter, yeoman, sold for $50 to Daniel Clark of Exeter, trader, one quarter part of the full right that James Calph owned to Exeter fresh river and one quarter part of a corn mill that stands on the same privilege. Exclusive of the part which said Calph heretofore sold to Benjamin Boardman for the privilege of building an oil mill. Both adjoined Buttin Hill privilege so called on the north side of the river. Salley his wife relinquished right of dower and made her mark. Witnesses were Ebenezer Clifford and John C. York. Jonathan signed the deed and appeared and acknowledged it on 30 Apr 1796. [Rockingham Deeds, 197:243] On 7 Feb 1797 Eliphalet Ladd of Portsmouth, Esq., sold for 110 pounds to John Carr York and John York both of Exeter, millwrights, one half of a saw mill on the east side of the river at the lower falls in Exeter being the same he purchased of James Haskell. Witnesses were Joseph Swasy and Daniel Connor(?). [Rockingham Deeds, 149:155] Even though it doesn't have his middle name or initial here it likely is him. On 20 May 1799 Jonathan Young York of Exeter, yeoman, sold for $200 to James York of Exeter, stonecutter, the house and barn on ¾ of an acre in Exeter, east of the road that leads from Col Ladd’s oil mill to Daniel Grants, John C. York’s land, Kinsley Hall, James Hackett. Sarah York wife of Jonathan released her dower rights. Witnesses were Daniel Clark and Moses Clark. Jonathan signed his name and acknowledged the deed on 27 May 1799. Recorded 23 Jul 1799. [Rockingham Deeds, 152:219] This James is a probable son of Capt. Richard York of Epping, and if so, would not be a brother to Jonathan Young York because Richard's children who were alive in 1821 when he wrote his will are all well accounted for and Jonathan wasn't one of them. The very next day he appears to have sold it right back to Jonathan, as the next deed shows. On 21 May 1799 James York of Exeter, stone cutter, sold to Jonathan Young York of Exeter, yeoman, for $500 the house and barn on ¾ of an acre in Exeter, east of the road that leads from Col Ladd’s oil mill to Daniel Grants, John C. York’s land, Kinsley Hall, land John C. York bought of James Hackett. Witnesses were Daniel Clark and Moses Clark. James signed his name and appeared and acknowledged the deed on 27 Mar 1801. Recorded same day. [Rockingham Deeds, 156:234] This deed was likely some kind of mortgage. It is also possible that the James mentioned in these deeds is NOT the son of Capt. Richard, in which case he could be a brother to Jonathan Young York. One point that argues for this is that James is not found in the 1800 census, so might have been one of the 16-25 year old males living in the household of Jonathan Young York or John Carr York. He was enumerated in Exeter in the 1800 census with 3 males under 10, 1 male 10-15, 1 male 16-25, 1 male 45+, 1 female under 10, 1 female 10-15, and 1 female 45+. On 2 Jan 1805 Jonathan Young York of Exeter, yeoman and stonecutter, deeded for $200 to Samuel Rowe of Exeter, trader, a certain house or tenement and a barn and about three fourths of an acre of land in Exeter. It was bounded easterly by the road that leads from Col. Ladd’s oil mill to Mr. Daniel Grant, the north corner of John C. York’s land, land of Kinsley Hall, and land John C. York bought from James Hackett. Witnessed by William Odlin and Daniel S.[?] Jones. Jonathan Y. York signed the deed and acknowledged it on 14 Jan 1805. [Rockingham Deeds, 169:326] The 1810 "Bill of Mortality" for Exeter in the town records state that on September 9th "Jona York's grand child" died of atrophy at the age of four months. [Exeter Town Records on FamilySearch.org, p.99, image 87 of 162, ] The 1810 census of Exeter shows his household with 1 male 10-15, 2 males 16-25, 1 male 45+, and 1 female 45+. On 3 May 1811 Jonathan York of Exeter, stonecutter alias laborer, was assaulted in Exeter by Samuel Gilman 3d, mariner, of Exeter. The following day York sued Gilman for $100 claiming that Gilman "with force of arms on the body of the Plaintiff a violent assault did make & him then & there beat, wounded & evily entreated and then & there with force aforesaid, with a large & heavy club gave the Plaintiff one violent blow in & upon his left arm and therby greatly injured his said arm & endangered his life which said blow totally rendered the Plaintiff unable to perform work : and then & there with force as aforesaid other outrages, injuries & enormities on the Plaintiff the said Gilman committed against our peace." On May 10th Gilman was arrested and bailed to Ward Gilman. In August the parties met in court and agreed to refer the judgment to the decision of three men named Jeremiah Dow, Epes Ellery and Edmund Pearson. These three decided in December to grant York $15 in damages, and on 2 Jan 1813 the court so ordered and added $23.61 court costs. [Rockingham Superior Court file 35132] By November 22nd of the year Samuel Gilman had absconded to parts unknown having never paid the judgment so the court went after Ward Gilman who had put up bail for Samuel. Ward Gilman was notified and by 23 Aug 1814 the court documents state that the action was settled and agreed to be dismissed. [Rockingham Superior Court file 37345] Based on the description of his family in the various census records it's likely he had more children than those presently included here.
