Baptised on the 19th July 1789 in Tring, Hertfordshire. Jonas married Elizabeth FITKIN on the 25th July 1810 in Tring, Hertfordshire. They had two children which I am currently aware of Jonas and Maria (1812).
On the 1841 census Jonas and his wife are living in Little Tring, Hertfordshire, neighbouring the property their daughter Maria and her family was living in. Jonas' occupation is listed as a painter.
Sadly Jonas died in 1858 in Berkhamstead, Hertfordshire.
