- He owned a substantial amount of land in Dutchess County. His birth year given here is a guess based on the known birth years of evidently adjacent siblings.
Mead-Clark Genealogy (citation details below) reports, on page 5 of the Mead section, the following list of the children of Jonathan Mead and Esther Butler:
Hannah 9-2-1712 of Saratoga Springs, New York
Jonathan 11-10-1716 m. Sarah Guernsey
Michael 9-4-1718 of Saratoga Springs, New York
Enos 11-17-1721 m. Melasen

Israel 4-5-1728 of Saratoga Springs, New York
Nathaniel 6-11-1726 of Saratoga Springs, New York
Sarah 5-6-1735/6 m. Simeon Newcomb
But on page 83 of the same section we see an amendment:
Births of seven children are recorded in Greenwich, Conn. Hannah, Sept. 2 (probably 1714); Jonathan --10-1715; Michael Sept. 4, 1718; Enos and Nehemiah (twins) Nov. 17, 17--; Nathaniel and Israel (twins) June 11, 17--; This leaf of the town record is worn and the lower half missing; probably here was recorded the births of his younger children. It is said that Darius born 3-28-1728; Eli b. about 1730; Eldad b. about 1733, were sons of Jonathan and Esther Butler Mead.
